When I watch Dewayne Dedmon, I get reminded of a certain great Bucks center. I’ll give you one guess as to which one. Take your time, don’t blindly rush into an answer. Hint 1: it’s not Miles Plumlee. Hint 2: it’s not Kareem. Man, you’re just swinging all over the place here! Hint 3: the…

Nick Young 26 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2017)
On this night of insane statlines (Draymond Green still counts as a role-player, right, RIGHT?), it would have been nice to see Nick Young drop 40. He was well on his way, with 23 early in the third quarter, but then, I don’t know, he stopped scoring or something. You think I was watching? After…

OFFICIAL NBA PLAYERS POWER RANKINGS* 1. Alex Abrines 2. Quincy Acy 3. Steven Adams 4. Aaron Afflalo 5. Alexis Ajinca —POWER GAP— 408. Down ToBuck —POWEREST GAP— 459. Paul Zipser 460. Ivica Zubac Sorry Lakers fans, this official ranking of NBA players doesn’t look good for your man Ivica Zubac. Nothing to be done about…
Read MoreJames Johnson 26 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2017)
Don’t you hate it when it looks like someone got totally ankle-broken and then it turns out all that happened was they got tripped? I hate it when that happens. All the best ankle-breakers end up being trips, except for that insane one that Dwight Buycks had on Gary Harris. Damn. Now THERE was an…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Career High 40 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2017)
Nikola Jokic walked back to the visitor’s locker room with his teammates. All his teammates except one: in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, Jusuf Nurkic had claimed he felt ill and had run down the tunnel. Nikola privately questioned whether illness was really the cause of Jusuf’s early departure, but kept his thoughts…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
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…
Read MoreSteven 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:…
