One day Steven Adams is going to show up to a game and he’s going to be covered with tattoos. I mean, more than he normally is. Like a full-body tattoo. His current level of tattooage already makes him look like a fierce, unstoppable Tongan warrior, and it’s only on one arm. Even if he…

Brandon Jennings 19 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2016)
There’s some twisted part of me deep down that actually misses Brandon Jennings and his swaggy pull-up jumpers and his swaggy back-leaning threes on the Bucks. I know logically that I should hate Jennings for wasting four years of my Bucks fandom, and most of me does. But there’s this one little part that whispers…
Read MoreLeandro Barbosa 18 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2016)
Hey, guess what everybody! I just got off the phone with Steve Nash, and he said he’s totally down to come back to the NBA! I know, I couldn’t believe it either! We were just chatting, and I mentioned that Leandro Barbosa was back on the Suns, and he was like “You know, I could…
Read MoreLuol Deng 22 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2016)
Luol Deng’s 4 years at 72 million contract was regarded, at the time of signing, as a good if not great move for the Lakers. Timofey Mozgov’s slightly smaller 4 years at 64 million contract was regarded with disblief and laughter. I was among those poking fun at the Mozgov contract. The Deng contract I…
Read MoreKristaps Porzingis 26 Points/7 Blocks Full Highlights (12/11/2016)
Even after his mini-slump the last few games, Kristaps Porzingis is still almost certainly too good for this channel. There’s no denying it: he’s one of the league’s most exciting players, no qualifiers needed. He’s not quite as well known as a Derrick Rose or a Carmelo Anthony, but the gap is continuously shrinking. This…
Read MoreTim Frazier Triple Double 14 pts/11 asts/11 rebs Full Highlights (12/11/2016)
The Pelicans are one of my favorite teams to watch right now. They’ve got a superstar (Anthony Davis), which of course always makes for a fun viewing experience, but then they have a huge collection of talent-deficient but lovable role-players (everyone else except Jrue Holiday). Basically any lineup the coach decides to trot out there,…
Read MoreReggie Williams 17 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2016)
Just out of curiosity, I looked up the last time Reggie Williams scored 17 or more points. It wasn’t as far back as I thought: he scored exactly 17 on March 31, 2012, outdone on his team (the Charlotte Bobcats) only by the 20 points of Byron Mullens (lol). Unfortunately for R-Will fans everywhere, this…
Read MoreMarcus Morris 28 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2016)
What’s up with the Pistons? They’re the most bipolar team in the league, just as prone to blow out a team as they are to get blown out. Prior to this game, they had beat the Timberwolves by 27. Now they lose to the 76ers by 20? There must be some sort of motivational problems…
