With Ivica Zubac possibly out for the rest of the season, and Timofey Mozgov definitely out for the rest of the season (suffocated under a pile of hundred-dollar bills), the time is ripe for Tarik Black to prove to Laker fans that he’s worth the six million dollars he got paid this year and will…

Jusuf Nurkic 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/30/2017)
At some point it will stop being cute and start being annoying that Jusuf Nurkic is always trying to advance the ball himself/coordinate the offense, but for now, the fact that he does these things even though he doesn’t quite have the ball control to do so fits neatly into the narrative that the Blazers…
Read MoreMarquese Chriss 20 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2017)
The Suns are getting more and more entertaining to watch as their season nears its terminus. By the last game, they will be trotting out a lineup of Marquese Chriss, Booker, Warren, Ulis, and Jones for all 48 minutes. If there was another month after that, by the end we’d be seeing only Chriss and…
Read MoreTyler Ulis 16 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (3/30/2017)
If Tyler Ulis wants to take the next step in his career, he will have to master the art of having a teammate set up his shot instead of just doing it all himself. Easier said than done; other players are not guaranteed to pass the ball when you want them to. But even the…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 28 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/30/2017)
It’s time for Nikola Mirotic to find another team. Yeah, he’s playing big minutes as of right now, but the Bulls have shown that they won’t hesitate to bench him/DNP him for no reason at all. At any moment, BAM, Mirotic could find his heinie superglued to the bench while Joffrey Lauvergne gets to play…
Read MoreDevin Booker 33 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/30/2017)
This is fine, but it isn’t 70. It’s not even halfway to 70. If you watched this vid twice in a row, maybe you’d get a similar experience to watching the single 70-point highlight vid, but probably not. I’m still in the process of wrapping my head around that insane performance by Devin Booker. I…
Read MoreIsh Smith 21 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2017)
There are all sorts of on-off stats and plus-minus stats and stuff that will have you believe that Ish Smith is a way better player for the Pistons than Reggie Jackson. Do I believe those stats? I don’t know. I can certainly imagine Smith being a better team-player than Jackson. There are anecdotal reports that…
Read MoreMarcus Morris 28 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2017)
After Marcus Morris had that 37-point game a month ago, he’s fallen into a big old slumpy-wump. And with him, the Pistons, who have only won 2 out of their last 10 as they try to make the playoffs. What horrible timing! Morris is kinda-sorta their first option on offense, maybe-ish. Even if he isn’t,…
Read MoreRicky Rubio Career High 33 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/30/2017)
Ricky Rubio sat in his bed, a cocoon of pillows propping him up as he perused “Soldados de Salamina” on his Kindle. It was an interesting read, but it was growing late, and he soon found himself having to reread sentences and paragraphs, his mind becoming cloudy with tiredness. He rubbed his eyes, resolving to…
Read MoreCory Joseph 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/29/2017)
When does Kyle Lowry come back or is he dead forever? I’m honestly a little bit tired of making Cory Joseph videos because nobody watches them and he’s got that floater-heavy “backup point guard” scoring game that always fails to excite me. The sooner that Lowry comes back, the sooner that CoJo can go back…
