The first BoingAlert workout was quite possibly the least enjoyable half-hour of Nick’s life. After he had finally muscled his bed and desk out of immediate range of his television, Nick had gone right to the first exercise of the DVD without any special preparation and without even changing out of his everyday jeans and…

Frank Kaminsky 24 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
Take a look at the 0:50 mark of this video. More specifically, take a look at the clock. It’s just sitting there. Neither the game clock nor the shot clock are running down. Play continues like nothing is wrong, but something is obviously very wrong: Frank Kaminsky is using his powers of chronomancy, or time-manipulation,…
Read MoreJulius Randle 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
I think every single assist that Julius Randle got in this game was off a dribble handoff. No fancy passes in between defenders, no alley-oops, no cross-court bounces for easy dunks, just Julius dribbling his big body into the defender to act as a screen while his teammate shoots it. I mean, that’s a great…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 16 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
It’s only a matter of time before John Wall works his magic on Bojan Bogdanovic like he has done with every half-talented three-point-shooting small forward that he has played with. As Bogdanovic gets more and more comfortable with his new role, which is “stand in the corner and wait for Wall to find you, also…
Read MoreTyler Ulis 9 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
Tyler Ulis looks way too tiny out there on the basketball court. In a league of giants, being the height of an average American is just not enough. Not to mention his weight. It’s like a tiny little skeleton is running around out there, creating havoc with his quickness and rattling bones. Isaiah Thomas doesn’t…
Read MoreDerrick Jones 8 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
Derrick Jones can slam the basketball good. And that’s it. Of course, the ability to slam good is one of the more desirable traits that a basketball player can have, and if you can slam it good enough, you don’t need to do anything else to secure a spot in the league, at least for…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 16 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
There is no reason to discuss anything about or anyone on the Thunder unless it is as it relates to Russell Westbrook’s quest to average a triple-double. Has there ever been a team where one player so thoroughly dominates his team’s narrative? Even Jordan had Pippen. Westbrook has… Oladipo? And Doug “Dougie McThunderBuckets” McDermott. McDermott…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
Jusuf Nurkic had 19 points and 5 assists tonight, which you can tell from the video title. What you can’t tell, and what you can only get a glimpse of in the thumbnail, is that he also set a new career-high in facial expressions, with 53. Only a small handful of the very best ones…
Read MoreMarcus Morris Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
Once again, this sick scoring performance by Marcus Morris doesn’t even feel THAT sick. Objectively, I know it’s a sick performance. A career-highs for a role-player is sick. 37 points for a role-player is sick. That’s all there is to it. If a 37-point game by a player wasn’t sick, it would mean that player…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 19 Pts/16 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
It’s okay everybody. Calm down. Everbody calm down. Calm your tits. Nikola Jokic is still good. He can still play basketball. Rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated. Admit it, you were freaking out when Jokic had that post-All-Star-break streak of low productivity performances. You read the news blurbs where he claimed he was…
