Can Alan Williams even dunk? Unlike his major competitor for minutes, Marquese Chriss, Williams plays like he has the hops of a nursing home resident. Basketball-reference alleges that he has indeed dunked it twice this year, which seems exceedingly low for a power forward. I bet Tyler Ulis has more dunks than him. More investigation…

Marquese Chriss 18 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2017)
Does Marquese “Markweezy” Chriss have any kind of in-between game at all? I know it’s a lot to ask for a rookie to be well-rounded in all areas of scoring, but I don’t remember him ever taking much less making a midrange jumpshot, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him post up or attempt…

I was going to type up a big long description with a bunch of words about how Timofey Mozgov hates Ivica Zubac for the latter stealing all of the former’s minutes, but then I realized, Mozgov probably doesn’t care very much about his minutes situation given how much he’s getting paid right now. Perhaps Mozgov…

Not shown: Robert Covington’s inexplicable take foul with 12 seconds left in a tie game. He made up for it with the game-tying putback as time expired, but what the heck was he thinking? You’ve got to know which teams are in the penalty and which aren’t. Same deal with timeouts. Part of the game…
Read MoreDario Saric Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2017)
I think this does it. I think this is the game that propels Dario Saric from “ROY candidate” to “guy who is gonna be ROY unless something really messed up happens”. Congratulations 76ers fans. It looked pretty likely at the beginning of the season that one of your rookies would be ROY, and it’s going…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic Career High 28 Points/20 Rebounds/8 Assists/6 Blocks Full Highlights (3/9/2017)
A single grimy lightbulb illuminated the sparsely furnished room. A large man sat a cluttered desk, starting intently at the wall. Behind him, a black-and-white dog sat whimpering, pushing his bowl against his owner’s leg with his nose. “Shhhh, Tornjak. I feed you very soon. Being quiet now. Daddy is think.” Jusuf Nurkic muttered distractedly,…
