For being one of the top teams in the league, the Clippers sure are trotting out some funky-ass lineups. Injuries suck, but they suck even more when your team’s bench depth consists of Wes Johnson, Marreessseeeee Speights and two empty Gatorade bottles. I am seeing more minutes for more scrubs than I have ever seen…

Buddy Hield 17 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2016)
Buddy Hield has been picking it up lately, which is good, because otherwise he’d be one of the worst players in the league. As it stands, he’s squarely in the “below average” category, edging towards “average” if he’s having one of his good games, like he did tonight. I’ll never be able to live down…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 16 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2016)
The hype for Nikola Jokic is sure to be off the charts after this latest performance. And I can’t blame people for getting excited, especially when I myself provide highlights depicting him. But we have to remember that, despite his fancy passing and excellent advanced stats that… he… uh… don’t forget that… he… SCREW IT!…
Read MoreKristaps Porzingis 24 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2016)
I can forgive Kristaps Porzingis for choking tonight. Free throws are hard, and they get even harder under pressure. If his woes at the stripe continue, he can go the Onuaku route and shoot them underhand, but for now, you just have to accept missed free throws as part of his game. Just like with…
Read MoreSteven Adams 15 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/27/2016)
OFFICIAL STEVEN ADAMS DUNKS IN THIS VIDEO POWER RANKINGS: 1. 0:49 – He just rode Hassan Whiteside like a horse all the way to the rim and then made the stanky face. A decade from now when future people are making their holographic Steven Adams career mixes for HoloTube, this dunk will be shown in…
Read MoreJulius Randle 25 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2016)
This isn’t the prettiest highlight video ever, but if you’re going into a Julius Randle highlight video expecting aesthetic, ballet-like displays of basketball skill, you’re doing it wrong. What you should expect is a guy with a lumpy, froggish face bullying his way to the basket and just flinging the ball at the backboard every…
Read MoreAlex Abrines 14 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2016)
It’s probably not a wise move for Alex Abrines to start copying Anthony Morrow’s shooting motion. Yeah, Morrow is a great shooter, and Abrines could take some tips from him, but there’s a reason no other NBA players use his “don’t bring the ball below your shoulders” shot form. It’s just too unnatural. The human…
Read MoreJosh Richardson 22 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2016)
I was super impressed with Josh Richardson last year. Super duper impressed. Second-round rookies don’t usually shoot 45 percent from three. I am less impressed with him this year. Way less impressed. Regression to the norm is hitting him hard this season, as his three-point shooting has plummeted and he hasn’t picked up the slack…
Read MoreGerald Green 19 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2016)
Gerald Green has not successfully dunked the ball through the rim this year. Not even one time. No, not one. What happened to that dude who dunked it all the time with the Suns? The dude whose insane dunking prowess in the 2013-14 season was captured for all to see with the sickest dunkilation known…
Read MoreWill Barton 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/26/2016)
Will Barton is another one of those players where I kinda want to see him get his own team just so we can know how many points he would score if given as big a role in an offense as he can handle. Perhaps even a bigger role than he can handle – that would…
