In a way, it’s a good thing that Gary Harris missed that shot to win the game after Nikola Jokic’s intentionally missed free throw (spoiler alert). Can you imagine the Internet’s collective butt-pain if Jokic’s flop (I said it) to get three free throws with a second left resulted in a Nuggets win? Yeah, it…

Kristaps Porzingis 21 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2016)
21 points for Kristaps Porzingis, and I don’t even feel anything anymore. Well, that’s a lie. I do feel a little bit still. But not as much as before. I’m like a drug addict, my dosage has to keep increasing for me to experience the same euphoria. It used to be that if Krispy scored…
Read MoreKyle Korver 22 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2016)
I don’t remember the last time I uploaded a vid with this kind of Kyle Korver two-pointer action. Have I ever? It’s not like it’s even that insane an amount of non-threes. But for Korver, it’s a veritable inside-the-arc scoring bonanza. If you think way back, way WAY back to his days in Philly, he…
Read MoreJames Johnson 22 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2016)
Here’s the deal: I would have shown James Johnson’s 6 assists against the Celtics, to illustrate his ever-increasing similarity to LeBron James, but the NBA’s play-by-play thingie only lists last names, and both he and Tyler Johnson had 6 assists, and I got really, REALLY confused. It was hard enough figuring out which buckets were…
Read MoreTrey Burke 27 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2016)
No lie, I legit thought that Trey Burke was dead. Not just buried on the Wizards bench, which would be the kind of “dead” that Marcus Thornton is, but actually clinically dead. For real. I kind of thought it was sorta weird how no one was caring about a former top-10 pick who died while…
Read MoreJaMychal Green 17 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2016)
Quick quiz: how paid is JaMychal Green gonna get this offseason? a.) hella paid b.) moderately paid c.) minimally paid d.) depends on how paid you get when you go to Europe e.) not paid f.) Jennifer left me I probably should have said this earlier, but I’m debuting a new quiz format starting with…
Read MoreDwight Powell 14 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2016)
Dwight “Dwight Power” Powell: the next Tyson Chandler for the Mavs? Let’s take a look at the facts: -Both tall and lanky -Both look like they skipped leg day -Both can catch lobs as long as they have a point guard willing to throw lobs to them -Both have the letter “O” somewhere in their…
Read MoreTyler Ulis 10 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2016)
What’s this? Minutes for Tyler Ulis that aren’t in garbage time? That’s abnormal in itself, but wait, it gets weirder! The Suns feat. Ulis ended up beating the ECF-bound Raptors! I don’t know what to believe anymore. Are the Suns tanking now? Are they trying to win for no reason? Sometimes tanking moves backfire in…
Read MoreNerlens Noel 14 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2016)
I assume this newfound willingness of the 76ers coaching staff to give Nerlens Noel minutes is just the FO’s way of saying “hey other teams around the league just letting you know that this dude can still run and jump and stuff so if you want to give up a first round pick for him…
Read MoreDario Saric 14 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2016)
I am guilty of letting 76ers fans convince me that Dario Saric was going to be a beast the second he stepped on an NBA court. I admit it. Guilty as charged. I wanted to believe, and they wanted to believe, everyone wanted to believe, and people posted the highlight videos… How could anyone not…
