I like seeing Jamal Murray shoot the basketball. I want to see him shoot the basketball more often. That’s all there is to it. I’m often critical of so-called “chuckers”, and I’ve even been critical of Murray himself for taking too many bad shots. But I don’t care anymore. Whatever shots he has to take…

JaMychal Green Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
Spurs fans will be happy to tell you all about the success stories their team has had in the realm of player development. Finding gems in the D-League, finding gems overseas, turning role-players into really good role-players, it never ends. The Spurs have the Midas Touch when it comes to their roster. They can do…
Read MoreMarquese Chriss Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
It’s refreshing to see a rookie from this cursed draft class put together some good games. Especially one who was purported to be “raw”, as Marquese Chriss was. His rawness still permeates most aspects of his game, but his talent is capable of overcoming the rawness to put up some good stats. Sometimes. Sometimes, instead,…
Read MoreDevin Booker 31 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
Man, this video loses a lot of steam after Devin Booker gets done scoring those 27 points in the 2nd quarter. A LOT of steam. It pretty much stops dead in its tracks. Only 4 free throws, after that insane shooting display? Kind of disappointing, but the meat of the video is still there, and…
Read MoreEvan Turner 24 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2017)
For the first few weeks of the season, Evan Turner was widely mocked and reviled for how he was performing relative to his contract. And not the good kind of mocking and reviling. The bad kind. The “worst contract in the league maybe” kind. He was assigned the blame for whatever troubles the Trailblazers were…
Read MoreJohn Henson 16 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/3/2017)
This video is an example of what learned people in basketball circles call “showcasing a player for a trade”. The Bucks already did this once with Miles Plumlee; they started him in one game and he put up decent stats, and then they traded the bum to the Hornets (my heart rate is still elevated…
Read MoreJoe Harris 15 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2017)
Mocking LeBron James with “playmaker” jokes is somewhat played out now, but don’t you think LeBron wishes he still had Ol’ Joe Harris on his roster? There’s very little to suggest that Harris has ever been, or will ever be, the kind of guy who gets high assist totals, but he’s the kind of cheap…
Read MoreNorman Powell 18 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2017)
Remember when both sides of the “Norman Powell vs. Dwight Powell” argument had a valid case that their player was the better Powell in the NBA? Ha. Haha. That’s funny now. Norman Powell has solidly solidified his place as the NBA’s best Powell because he averages .1 more points per game (7.2 to 7.3) and…
Read MoreJon Leuer 24 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2017)
Jon Leuer and Darrun Hilliard stood in awe of the booty that surrounded them. The Parent-Teacher Association meeting they had just entered was about to start and neither of them knew where to begin. “What do we do now?” Darrun asked under his breath, leaning closer to his teammate so they wouldn’t be overheard. “There’s…
Read MoreJoffrey Lauvergne 16 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (2/3/2017)
Do the Thunder even really need Enes Kanter? They can get 70% of the production and 0% of the forearm-destroying furniture attacks from the team’s resident Frenchman and stinky-cheese lover Joffrey Lauvergne. Lauvergne can shoot midrange jumpers just like Kanter does, but the thing is, he doesn’t NEED to, because he can step out behind…
