“Okay,” Jon Leuer said to his teammate Darrun Hilliard as they munched on greasy pizza in the dining area of the Chuck E. Cheese’s. “No more screwing around. We have to find somewhere to pick up chicks.” “But I haven’t even played the Skee-ball yet,” Darrun whined. “You know I’m going to get hella tickets…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 24 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2016)
It just occurred to me that if Kentavious Caldwell-Pope never becomes a star in this league (his ceiling doesn’t seem quite that high but who knows), then I’m looking at another ten years of making KCP highlights every time he scores more than 23 points in a contest. That’s a long time to make highlights…
Read MoreKosta Koufos 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/16/2016)
Here’s something new to file away in the NBA conspiracy archives: does Kosta Koufos get special treatment from the refs because he looks like he’s forty years old? Both on offense, where he might be allowed to get away with more push-offs and contact than usual, and on defense, where he might have pity fouls…
Read MoreJulius Randle Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2016)
Just for kicks, I’m currently looking at the Laker’s roster for Julius Randle’s first career game, the one where he injured himself and the jerkoffs at the NBA league office decided that 13 minutes was enough to disqualify him from being a rookie the next season. Jerkoffs. Anyway, it’s pretty much like I stepped out…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 24 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2016)
Dirk Nowitzki has died. That’s all there is to it. He’s not coming back out of the tunnel this time, because he’s dead for real. This isn’t like those other times, where it looked like he was dead but he was actually alive. This death is permanent. Unless German NBA fans want to nationalistically support…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 18 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/16/2016)
It’s a good thing that Serge Ibaka is performing up to expectations, because it means the trade that brought him to Orlando is now merely rated as “pretty bad” and not “so bad that there should probably be a rule named after it” like it looked initially. I’ve been thinking about the whole sitch, and…
Read MoreJustise Winslow 15 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2016)
There will come a day, maybe tomorrow, maybe years from now, where I will see a boxscore indicating that Justise Winslow scored 15 points and I will say “Justise Winslow has to score a bit more than 15 points before I will considering compiling highlights of his made baskets”. That day is definitely not today….
Read MoreCory Joseph 17 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2016)
While these highlights are titled “Cory Joseph 17 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2016)”, they could easily have the alternate title “Malcolm Delaney GETTING EXPOSED BY A CANADIAN MIDGET Full Highlights SICK!!! (12/16/2016)”. Both are equally accurate, because in the process of scoring 17 points, Cory Joseph manhandled Malcolm Delaney. It will take more than this semi-impressive…
Read MoreEric Gordon 29 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/16/2016)
Listen to what the commentator says after the basket at 0:48 of this video. Just listen. “That’s Rocket basketball right there!” Seem weird to you? At least from my point of view it doesn’t seem like the kind of thing you say during a game where the Rockets shot and made the most three-pointers ever…
Read MoreKyle Korver 19 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/16/2016)
This kind of a performance is about all we can expect from Kyle Korver nowadays. Some threes, and free throws from whatever technical foul happens while he’s on the court. His ratio of twos-to-threes attempted isn’t as lopsided as I imagined it would be, but he’s continuing his seasons-long trend of shooting more long bombs…
