Thaddeus Young just set a career high for three pointers made in a game. That’s cool. Good for him. The interesting thing is, looking at his game log, every game where he made either four or five threes, his team lost. Most of those games came during a stretch where The Mad Thadder was the…

Austin Rivers 18 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2016)
“Dear Diary, Today I scored eighteen points and did really well. Everybody on the team was telling me how I did a good job. Daddy said that if I hadn’t played so good then we wouldn’t have won the game. But that jerk Chris had twenty points and twenty assists. After the game Daddy was…
Read MoreCheick Diallo 19 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2016)
My confusion with this occurrence can only be properly expressed with an excess of question marks: ?????. ???????. ??? ????? ?????. So in his third game donning the Pelicans’ navy, red, and gold, and his first not playing garbage time, Cheick “Discount Diallo Cheick” Diallo stepped in for the injured Anthony Davis and just casually…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 17 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2016)
Someone once told me that Bismack Biyombo was a good defender. And this wasn’t just any old bloke. This was someone who I respected, greatly, telling me this. A certain NBA writer… not going to name names or anything, but they have just been exposed as wrong, wrong, WRONG. Because Jusuf Nurkic abused Biyombo all…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 22 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/10/2016)
I have to admit, whoever came up with the nickname “Serge Protector” for Serge Ibaka is a much cleverer man than I. It’s perfect. It’s the perfect nickname. I bow before thee and thy superior moniker-creation skills. However, whoever came up with the idea to play a car crash sound effect after Ibaka blocks a…
Read MoreWesley Matthews 26 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2016)
How many times is Wesley Matthews going to score 26 points? I feel like 10% of my total vids this year have been him scoring that many points, and I’m getting sick of it. 30 isn’t that much more than 26, but I bet tons of people would watch highlights of such a performance if…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 17 Points/6 Blocks Full Highlights (12/10/2016)
Quiz time! First (and last) question: What kind of a bitch was DeMarcus Cousins made into by Rudy Gobert? A. A bitch B. A big fat bitch C. The biggest bitch in the whole wide world D. A stupid bitch if there ever was a bitch E. A bitch to all the boys and girls…
Read MoreJuan Hernangomez 14 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (12/10/2016)
Juancho Hernangomez: already better than Victor Claver ever was? I’m only talking about the NBA here. Their respective careers in Europe are of no interest to me; do I look like DownToReal to you? Victor Claver was a pretty large disappointment for me. He played three years for Portland while never EVER doing anything of…
Read MoreKelly Oubre Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2016)
Attention females: Kelly Oubre Jr. isn’t even that good looking. He only looks good because, when he’s on the bench, he gets to sit between Andrew Nicholson who looks like a black smurf and Jason Smith who is totally balding. That’s the only reason. Take him out of his normal NBA habitat, and he becomes…
Read MoreMirza Teletovic 25 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2016)
One of the clearest warning signs of a coach who has no idea what’s going on is the random insertion and uninsertion of players into a lineup. Take Mirza Teletovic for example (you could also use Greg Monroe earlier in the season, or Rashad Vaughn, or Miles Plumlee). Jason Kidd didn’t play Mirza at all…
