Johnny “Irish Kobe” O’Bryant has been working on his game since his stint with the Bucks. Even then, his main way of scoring was shooting midrange jumpers. Now, he shoots AND makes midrange jumpers, with the occasional three sprinkled in. At least in this game. I can’t speak for the rest of his time with…

Ricky Rubio Triple Double 11 Pts/13 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
Just before the trade deadline, there were a bunch of rumors discussing a possible Ricky Rubio/Derrick Rose swap between the Knicks and the Timberwolves. Now, I’m no GM, but doesn’t that seem like the worst idea ever for Minnesota? I know Thibs doesn’t like Rubio, but to replace him with Rose, who can’t pass and…

Spencer Hawes scoring 14 points in the second quarter tonight will end up one of my favorite-est memories from this Bucks season. There has been a lot of good stuff going on in Milwaukee, especially with Giannis, but I don’t think I have been as hyped for the Bucks as I was when Hawes was…

With each consecutive primo performance, Dario Saric’s chances of winning the ROY award go higher and higher. He is scoring consistently in the 20-ish range now, and his assist numbers remain impressive even though he has no one to pass it to. Yes, I’m aware that that’s a horrible argument. I don’t care. Saric wrung…
Read MoreNik Stauskas Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
The Sixers may have gotten blown out at home by the lackluster Pistons, but they got something far more important than a meaningless regular-season win tonight: they discovered a heretofore undiscovered part of their CORE. That CORE piece that has recently been unearthed? Nik Stauskas. CORE. HARD CORE. Previously, their CORE consisted of these constituent…
