Iman Shumpert has seemingly rediscovered the long-range shooting touch that made him such an intriguing player in his second season; he’s now shooting 40% from three, and while he’s no longer young or intriguing, he at least can be a competent low-volume guy to complement the Cavs’ big three (LeBron, Kyrie, and James Jones). They…

Austin Rivers 20 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
“Dear Diary, A few days ago that meanie Chris got injured again. He hurt his little baby thumb from sucking on it too much. Daddy said we all need to start playing extra good from now on but then I said we wouldn’t need to because I would be the point guard and I would…
Read MoreOtto Porter 23 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
Otto Porter is currently a beneficiary of the “Martell Webster Effect”. I don’t exactly know what the Martell Webster Effect entails, other than that John Wall is involved and that it’s the reason Martell Webster was really good that one season. Maybe I should’ve saved the presentation of the Martell Webster Effect until I knew…
Read MoreTyler Johnson 23 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
The NBA really needs to do something about the end of games. In this particular contest between the Heat and the Mavs (which somehow lacked the intensity of their Finals matchups…), in between a few clutch shots, there were just way too many free throws, way too many stoppages, and way too much standing around….
Read MoreJames Jones 14 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
James “Champ” Jones is, after tonight, shooting 21 of 34 on three-pointers this season. That’s 62 percent, for those who understand how percentages work (I don’t). He is also shooting 4 of 12 on two-pointers, which isn’t as good. I guess there’s a reason he’s taken 7 times as many three as twos in his…
Read MoreTyson Chandler 22 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
This is Tyson Chandler’s 16th year in the league. It seems like just yesterday people were calling him a bust because he was the 2nd overall pick and couldn’t score even when he wanted to. Where has all the time gone? Now he’s a respected savvy veteran role-player, so respected and savvy and veteran and…
Read MoreChanning Frye 18 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
It’s kind of fitting that, right as Channing Frye’s reign as the dude who looks most like Obama in the NBA comes to an end (hello Malcolm Brogdon), Obama’s reign as the dude who looks most like an NBA player in the White House comes to an end as well. Poignant, even. Truly the end…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
“Thanks for organizing this whole thing, Mike,” Nikola Jokic said to his teammate Mike Miller as they sat with the rest of their Nuggets teammates in a San Antonio nightclub. “This place is swarming with babes! Barkley was totally wrong when he implied that San Antonio chicks are ugly.” “I know, right?” Mike said, his…
Read MoreDejounte Murray Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
Ha! Hahahaha! All those times Dejounte Murray scored 10 points, and I didn’t do highlights, and you all said I was being stupid, look who’s stupid now! It’s you all! Those 10-point highlights, had I done them, which I didn’t, because I had the utmost confidence in Murray’s game and prospects as a player, would…
