I have relentlessly hated on Marcus Smart since he got into the league. Something about his misplaced swagger and his poor shooting just makes him an easy target for someone like me who likes to write mean words on the internet. It also annoys me how Celtics fans claim that Smart is a vital component…

Steven Adams 20 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
Surgeon General’s Warning: this video only has one dunk in it, and it’s a really soft one where Adams doesn’t even grab the rim. He just puts the ball over the ring and drops it through. If we don’t count that one (and it really shouldn’t count since his hand never touched the rim), Steven…
Read MoreAl-Farouq Aminu 26 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
Al-Farouq Aminu truly got Al-Fareaky in this game, a welcome sight for Blazers fans who were getting just a little bit tired of him shooting below thirty percent from three and below forty percent from the field. He’s still mired in those awful percentages, but games like this give you hope that he will be…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 12 Points Cavaliers Debut Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
It’s going against my better judgement, but here you go: Derrick Williams scoring 12 points in his first game donning the Cavs’, uh, blue. Before you get excited, this vid consists of three layups and six free-throws. That’s it. No D-Thrill in this one. If I see anyone post in the comments stuff like “I…
Read MoreCameron Payne 15 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
Cameron Payne showed some stuff last year. Not a whole ton of stuff, but some stuff. I don’t know if Thunder fans expected that, but I didn’t, and I was impressed. So impressed that I don’t think I even called him a bust a single time over all my descriptions. And that’s saying a lot:…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 15 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
Nicolas Batum grabbed only 2 rebounds in the fourth quarter, leaving him 2 short of a triple-double. I appreciate his restraint in not mindlessly chasing an arbitrary stastical feat, but, uh, that’s kind of what you’re supposed to do. Especially if your team is losing. You crash the glass every time. No one’s gonna call…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 24 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
Earlier in the season, it was possible to say that Evan Fournier was the best player on the Magic. It wasn’t necessarily correct, but you could say it and people wouldn’t laugh you out of the room (not like you could ever find a room of people, outside of Orlando, whose basketball opinions were advanced…
Read MoreDario Saric Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
Here’s the deal: Dario Saric just scored a career-high 26 points, and it was really sweet. But there are more pressing issues. Namely, that I don’t think that messed up center part of his upper lip is ever going to support mustache-based life-forms. Ever. It certainly doesn’t now, and I don’t see why the situation…
