I must extend a sincere apology to all of my friends in Lithuania and especially the residents of the beautiful metropolis of Vilnius. I did not mean to ignore Mindaugas “Mindingus” Kuzminskas’ new career high for so long. It was an oversight and I apologize. A weird-looking European hitting threes, dunking, and driving recklessly to…

Tyler Johnson 23 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
The big news for the Heat is that Justise Winslow is probably going to miss the rest of the season after he had surgery on some part of his arm or something (probably to fix his broken shot LOL [lots of laughs]). Early returns (read: just this game) indicate that the Heat offense might be…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 17 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
After spending several weeks in a confused daze after being violently and repeatedly concussed in late November, Doug McDermott has finally shaken off the inner cobwebs of his mind and is back on the court. He still doesn’t quite know where he is or who his teammates are, but his vision is clear enough to…
Read MoreJordan McRae 21 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
Jordan McRae: better fit for the Cavaliers than J.R. Smith? Let’s take a look at the facts: POSITION: Both McRae and Smith are shooting guards. Advantage: it’s a tie POINTS: McRae had 21 points in this game. Smith had zero. It’s like he was totally missing in action. Good players don’t disappear like that. Advantage:…
Read MoreSteven Adams 18 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
OFFICIAL KIWI NBA PLAYERS ALL-TIME POWER RANKINGS 1. Steven Adams. I don’t want to throw around terms like “top ten center” or “DeAndre Jordan 2.0 with better hair” but since I just typed them I guess I’m throwing them around now. Let’s just put it this way: New Zealand’s flag is going to have a…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 28 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
First Raymond Felton, now Austin Rivers, who the heck needs Chris Paul? Not the Clippers, that’s for sure, not when two role-players of dubious quality can come in and put up the same stats as the supposed “best PG in the league”. Notice how I put that in quotation marks. It’s because I don’t think…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 28 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
ALERT ALERT ALERT THIS VIDEO HAS TOO MANY FREE THROWS TO BE ENJOYABLE ALERT That’s why I shouldn’t just look at points scored before going in and starting the highlight-making process. “28 points for Nic? Hot-diggity-damn!” I said as a cracked my knuckes, eager to get to work. He made two shots, everything was going…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 17 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
I don’t think Hornets fans are too happy with Frank “The Clank” Kaminsky’s performance so far this season. As you can tell by the nickname they have assigned to him. What, you think I came up with that one? No way. I’m too dumb to come up with such creative things. I’d be mad too…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 22 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
22 points in 20 minutes is just the kind of thing we’ve come to expect from Enes “Freddie Mercury” Kanter. That kind of scoring rate was something we saw last year, but somehow he’s improved in that area a little bit. My theory: he is shooting it every single time Westbrook passes him the ball,…
