Somehow Andre Roberson decided that he wanted to shoot fourteen shots in this game, a career high in field goals attempted. The Hawks were probably leaving him alone to a greater degree than other teams leave him alone. I guess he kind of made them pay for ignoring him on defense? He made five of…

Seth Curry 14 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2016)
Seth Curry has rebounded a bit from his slow start this season. His three point percentage is still way down from last year (36% vs 45%), but if he keeps shooting 2-of-3 from distance like he did in this game, he should get there by the end of the season. Unfortunately for him, the Mavericks…
Read MoreGary Harris Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2016)
Explain to me why I would go to all the trouble of making a hashtag when no one is going to use it. Explain that to me. Because I can’t understand it. Gary Harris is playing well now, and there should be a lot of people excited for him. Even if there aren’t many fans…
Read MoreMarcin Gortat 21 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2016)
I don’t know who Polish people are going to project their nationalism onto once Marcin Gortat is out of the league. Granted, he’s only 32, so the Polish Hammer has a few more years left, but is there any young Polish talent in the pipeline? Don’t even talk to me about Olek Czyz. Similarly refrain…

It’s a shame that Nikola Jokic fell one assist short of a triple-double tonight. A real shame. It would have been nice for one of the best passing bigs in the league to have his skill validated by an arbitrary statistical feat. Oh well. A tied career-high is pretty good too. And the Nuggets won,…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 31 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/19/2016)
Has anyone else noticed that, from certain angles, Dënniß ßchrööder looks like a sexy Nubian princess? I know how this sounds. Make fun of me all you want, but I am being totally serious when I say that ßchrööder, when the lighting is right, resembles chocolate-skinned royalty from southern Egypt. I think it’s the eyes….
Read MoreMyles Turner 20 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/19/2016)
What if I told there was a 20-year-old second-year player who was averaging 15 points a game with excellent shooting numbers to go along with elite shotblocking skills. Not only that, but this player added a three-point shot over the offseason. You would certainly be hyped for such a player, were they to exist. You…
