If I was a Raptors fan at the game last night I would have been booing the heck out of D.J. Augustin every time he touched the ball. I would also have booed with gusto whenever he checked into the game. Why? Because, for the half-season he was with the Raptors back in 2013, Augustin…

Kent Bazemore 24 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
Is Kent Bazemore clutch for scoring eight points in the fourth and final overtime period of this game, or is he anticlutch for only scoring two points in the rest of the overtimes combined? Maybe he decided that he was so clutch that it would be unfair to the Knicks for him to take any…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 18 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
Brandon Jennings quietly let himself into the Knicks’ practice facility. It was two in the morning, and he was the only one there. Not able to ignore the slightly creeped-out feeling he was getting from the deserted place, he navigated the dark hallways until he got to a room that, until now, he had never…
Read MoreRobin Lopez 21 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
As it stands right now, Robin Lopez is tied for second place in the prestigious “amount of hook shots made” category. Andre Drummond has him beat by a long shot, since SVG is so desperate to turn him into Dwight (who has only made 13), and he’s tied with Hassan Whiteside with 67. Lopez’s hook…
Read MoreJrue Holiday 26 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
If anyone who knows more about college ball than I do (which should be anyone who has watched even a second of an NCAA game) could tell me how worried I should be about Aaron Holiday making the NBA, that would be great. And don’t get it wrong this time. A bunch of people told…
Read MorePaul Zipser 13 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
Pääul Zïpßer’s going to have to start doing a little bit better if he wants to keep having highlight vids made of him. Like, at least 15 points from here on out. If he doesn’t get 15, there’s not going to be a video. Unless he scores 14 while dunking it 7 times. Then I…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 14 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
The latest buzz from the trade market: at the behest of one LeBron James, who requires more playmaking, the Cavaliers attempted to acquire T.J. McConnell from the 76ers. They were turned away, presumably because they didn’t offer enough, because it’s not like T.J. is some untouchable franchise cornerstone. He’s good, but that’s about it. Never…
Read MoreTristan Thompson 19 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
TRISTAN THOMPSON JUMPER ALERT! TRISTAN THOMPSON JUMPER ALERT! ALERT! TRISTAN THOMPSON MADE A JUMPER! There was a time, during those dark LeBron-less years, where Tristan Thompson would sometimes, just short of regularly, shoot jumpers for the Cavs. Then LeBron came and replaced Carrick Felix (check out my highlights of that dude for a real scrub-blast…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 23 Points/15 Assists Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
These stats look good for Dënniß ßchrööder on the surface, 23 points, a career-high 15 assists. No problem, right? WRONG. As you probably know, this Hawks-Knicks game went into quadruple-overtime, and ßchrööder’s stats were the beneficiary as he got to play for 55 minutes. Basically, according to the tenets of math, his extra playing time…
Read MoreRyan Anderson 27 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
I’ve already bemoaned the lack of Ryan Anderson midrange touches this year, and resultingly, the impending lack of a mid-range-ilation when all is said and done. It’s too bad, because he has one of the finest Dirk-esque stepbacks in the league, rivaling even the master himself. That’s not how the Rockets play, though. But out…
