Good news for Pelicans fans: Tyreke Evans is alive! Not only alive, but alive just in time to counteract the untimely death of Anthony Davis. He had been alive for a few games before this one, but at varying levels. Some nights, he would look positively full of vigor, and other nights he would look…

Nikola Jokic 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/12/2017)
Nikola Jokic walked to his locker and immediately noticed something was very clearly wrong: there were pieces of paper taped all over the inside and outside. He walked up to get a closer look; when he saw what was printed on the papers, his heart was filled with a mixture of sadness and disappointment. On…
Read MoreAllen Crabbe 24 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2017)
Quick Quiz: How EXPOSED were the “world champion” (LOL[lots of laughs]) Cavaliers last night? a.) Not exposed b.) Mildly exposed c.) Exposed d.) Very exposed Question 2: How thoroughly did Allen “Crabbey Patty” Crabbe turn Kyle “Athletic Decline” Korver into his personal bitchboy and buttslave for life? a.) Not thoroughly because Korver is not a…
Read MoreJae Crowder 20 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2017)
An enterprising soul should start an YouTube channel called “NBA Fight Zone” or “Heaviest NBA Slamdowns” or something, and show nothing but all the “fights” that occur in the NBA. The NBA used to be really stingy about allowing vids of famous altercations to be disseminated (I’m still recovering from that virus I got trying…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad 20 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2017)
The best part about watching the Timberwolves isn’t KAT’s emergence into a stud, or Wiggins’ emergence into a stud, or Lavine’s emergence into a stud, or Dunn’s emergence into a… something. No, the best part about watching the Timberwolves this season is that sometimes the commentators’ mics pick up Tom Thibodeau raspily yelling at his…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 28 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2017)
The more I watch the Magic, the more I think that the “Aaron Gordon at SF” experiment is the dumbest thing ever. Maybe, MAYBE, it helps Orlando win games right now. Maybe. But is winning meaningless regular season games what you want to do when what you should be doing is putting your best player…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 10 Points/17 Assists Full Highlights (1/11/2017)
One field goal. Just one. One Ricky Rubio field goal in a whole three minute video devoted to his basketball prowess. It’s to the point where I probably shouldn’t even have bothered with showing his points. I don’t show the assist if some guy puts up thirty points and only has the one, so why…
Read MoreMalcolm Delaney 12 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2017)
Every time I watch the Hawks and I see Malcolm “Not Brogdon” Delaney on the court, I think it’s Mike Scott. Can you really even blame me? They both have the same short hair, the same beard, and the same headband. Scott is five inches taller but the angle they use for TV broadcasts makes…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 17 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2017)
From DNP-CD’s to 35 minutes in a game: Anthony Tolliver sure has come a long way since the beginning of the season. The Kings are actually have a not-terrible record of seven wins and eight losses since Tolliver has started getting them major minutes (and the known team detriments Afflalo and Lawson have had their…
Read MoreSpencer Hawes 16 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2017)
Spencer Hawes has been racking up DNPs for his entire tenure in Charlotte thanks to the untimely drafting of one Frank Kaminsky. Games like this prove he can still be a credible offensive threat if given the minutes, but there’s hardly room on the roster for one slow-afoot, no-defense, three-pointering big white guy, much less…
