Darren Collison is one of those semi-good players who is condemned to be forgotten for all time the second he retires, possibly even before then. He’s like Darrell Arthur in that he doesn’t seem to have any fans aside from a few fans of the team he happens to play on. I’m sure there are…

Paul Zipser 14 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2017)
As things get worse and worse for the Bulls, things get better and better for Pääul Zïpßer. As a Bucks fan and scrub-lover, it’s the best of both worlds; I get to see Bulls fans suffer, and I get to see Zipser get buckets. Zipser is probably a decent part of the Bulls’ current problems,…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 17 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2017)
Here’s something I just noticed: if you combine Davis Bertan’s two names, you get “Beavis”. Coincidence? You be the (Mike) judge. Here’s another thing that I have noticed for a while but am just now sharing: Kristaps Porzingis’ status as the most hyped Latvian player on this channel is in serious danger. Porzingis, who is…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 20 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2017)
Jaylen Brown has selfishly announced that he will selfishly not be performing his renowned high-flying aerial acrobatics at this year’s dunk contest. It’s like he wants the dunk contest to suck. I bet that’s what he wants. He seeks to inflate his own value by withholding his talents in the area of bigtime slam-jams, hoping…
Read MoreThon Maker 8 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (1/27/2017)
I’m not even going to speculate on Thon Maker’s age. That whole thing is played out, no one cares anymore, the evidence has been presented and dismissed and re-presented and re-dismissed and now people just want to see him get minutes. And that’s all I’m going to say about that. If you want to know…
Read MoreJustin Anderson 17 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2017)
There was a stretch there where it looked like Justin Anderson had fallen out of the Mavs rotation. He was getting low single-digit minutes and a few DNPs, and obviously his scoring was way down. Wes Matthews’ uninjured presence had made Anderson redundant on the roster, as Matthews does the same things that Anderson does,…
Read MoreIvica Zubac 16 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2017)
With each game that passes, Timofey Mozgov and his outsized contract are becoming more and more obsolete. It seems somewhat unbelievable, but the 19-year-old Croatian rookie is somehow stealing Mozgov’s minutes. The guy who got paid to be the Lakers’ center of the future is, before our eyes, getting replaced by the guy who actually…
Read MoreMyles Turner 23 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2017)
If Pacers commentator Quinn Buckner doesn’t open up a restaurant called “Buckner’s Smothered Chicken” within five years, I’m gonna be… you guessed it: pissed as all heck. “Smothered chicken” is basically his catchphrase, and when your catchphrase has to do with a hella-delicious food preparation, you have to follow through by opening a restaurant based…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 21 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2017)
My hype for T.J. Warren remains unshakable. There is nothing that he or anyone else can do to convince me that he won’t be a 20ppg scorer at some point in his career. Unless he died. If he died, I would be forced to acknowledge that 20ppg would be out of the question for him….
Read MoreNikola Jokic 29 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/26/2017)
The All-Star reserves have been revealed, and Nikola Jokic is not among them. To what can we blame this seeming oversight? It is tempting to blame Serbians for not coming out in support of their man, for not flooding social media with hashtags and tweets in a large enough torrent. But they are not at…
