Damn, if I’m a Pistons fan tonight, I’m pissed as heck. I thought the shots Michael Beasley was making were ridiculous. Imagine how it looked from the other side of the fence? It must have been rage inducing. The shot selection that Beasley displayed tonight was very poor. These weren’t good shots. Granted, had he…

Juan Hernangomez Career High 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/13/2017)
This season just keeps getting crazier and crazier. I can’t handle it. Am I supposed to believe that the Nuggets, missing a bunch of good players, just tied the NBA record for most threes in a single game with 24? I consider myself to have an open mind, but I refuse to believe it. Looking…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 17 Pts/21 Rebs/12 Asts Full Highlights (2/13/2017)
Nikola Jokic pulled up to the Pepsi Center several hours before the game and immediately realized that something was amiss: The arena was on fire. Feeling a sinking sensation in his stomach, Nikola got out of his car. There were just a few small pockets of flame on the roof of the building, but even…
Read MoreTobias Harris 24 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2017)
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: the Detroit Pistons need an Alpha Wolf. ALPHA. WOLF. The scoring-by-committee stuff is cool, but this isn’t 2004. They’ve got the lowest-scoring team-leading-scorer of any team in the league (Does that make sense? I suck at words). Tobias Harris is leading the team at a little over…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 17 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (2/12/2017)
Prior to this year, I’d never been much of a Ricky Rubio highlighter. There was too much general hype around him for me to be interested. Something happened, though, and the Rubio-hype is at an all-time low. So low that people were, prior to the season starting, ready to ship him out of Minnesota so…
Read MoreBobby Portis 16 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2017)
There must be something seriously wrong with Bobby Portis that I’m just not aware of, because he hasn’t done ANYTHING this year. He scored 16 early in the season, after that, a whole bunch of DNPs and single-digit scores. He looked good last year, what the heck is going on? He wasn’t a world-beater or…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 16 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2017)
Walt Frazier has ruined me forever with regards to Nemanja Bjelica. Watching a Knicks-Timberwolves game, I heard Frazier pronounce Bjelica’s name phonetically: something like “Buh-jell-ick-a”. It was laughable in its incorrectness, but now that pronunciation has stuck with me, and I can no longer see his name without thinking in my head “buhjellicka”. Buhjellicka has…

This week’s biggest busts: Pacers -4, Bucks -3, Hawks -2, Hornets -2, Magic -2 This week’s biggest successes: Kings +4, Raptors +3, Mavericks +2, Lakers +2 1. Golden State Warriors (46-8, 3-0 this week) (last week: #1 [3-1] +0) Draymond Green became the first player to ever record a triple-double without scoring ten points. That’s…
Read MoreJamal Murray 16 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2017)
Jamal Murray scored all of his sixteen points in the fourth quarter. The game was already pretty much over by the fourth quarter so it was essentially a “hey rookie let’s see if you can chuck us back into this game” scenario. It didn’t really work, as the Nuggets’ fourth-quarter lineup didn’t gain much ground…
Read MoreNerlens Noel 19 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (2/11/2017)
I expect better from the Sixers broadcast. Nerlens Noel had multiple sick dunks in this game but replays for many of them were absent, as far as I could tell. How am I supposed to determine how sick a dunk really is unless I have multiple up-close, slow-mo replays of the dunk from every possible…
