Jodie Meeks woke up to find himself in an unfamiliar place. There was broken asphalt beneath his feet and a steady, chilling rain falling from the night sky. His first thought was that he must have gotten too drunk at a nightclub and stumbled into an alley to sleep it off, but he quickly remembered…

Kris Dunn 15 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2016)
Kris Dunn was hyped up by the basketball media before the season started. Way hyped up. Way, WAY hyped up. The average fan can be forgiven for thinking that Dunn was going to be a beast from the opening tip; people were even talking about trading Ricky Rubio because of how quickly Dunn was going…
Read MoreJeff Green 20 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2016)
No one likes Jeff Green. Not anymore. He probably had some fans when he was on the Thunder/Sonics, and maybe a few when he was Boston, but those stints were a long time ago. Any of the potential he had when he was drafted 5th overall is gone, dried up under the withering desert sun…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 23 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2016)
When Ersan Ilyasova is your #1 offensive option, you know things aren’t going to go super well. Not dissing the Ersanator here, just pointing out that he is more of complementary piece than a focal point. Without Jahlil Okafor or Joel Embiid (or even Robert Covington) to soak up all the possessions, the 76ers had…

START MESSAGE THIS IS A RUDY GOBERT JUMPER ALERT! THE RUDY GOBERT JUMPER ADVISORY SYSTEM HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO ORANGE – “HIGH – RUDY GOBERT MADE A JUMPER”. See the attached chart for reference: http://imgur.com/NvD6Xf5 This is not a drill. Repeat: this is not a drill. A Rudy Gobert jumper was identified at 5:14 in…
Read MoreDario Saric 17 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2016)
Some great camera work in this one. Dario Saric hits a late-game bucket to tie the game, and instead of showing him celebrating with teammates, they switch to a shot of the only 76ers fan they could find in Memphis. He looks happy, he’s cheering, that’s fine, until they panmed over to a couple of…
Read MoreElfrid Payton Career High 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/6/2016)
Whoever’s in charge of the equipment at The Verizon Center needs to turn down the sensitivity of the microphones on the basket. For real. I don’t especially like the normal commentary that comes with a game, but it gets worse when it’s obscured by dudes yelling “and-one!” over and over. Among other, less savory, things….
