David West has been a very good, but never elite, power forward for his entire career. He has entered the “blatant ring-chasing” stage of his career that many faded, ringless stars pursue, but that shouldn’t diminish his past accomplishments. Or, if it does diminish his past accomplishments, it should only diminish them a little bit….

Josh Richardson 17 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2017)
Josh Richardson went from shooting 45% from the field (46% on threes) in his rookie season to shooting 38% from the field (30% on threes) this season. A guy who looked like a good bet to become a solid starting shooting guard in this league regressed into a guy who you might not even want…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 21 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2017)
I’m pretty sure Marco Belinelli has the worst shot selection in the league. Worse even than Nic Batum, with whom he combines to form the chuckeriest small forward tandem in the league. Every time I see Belinelli play, his preferred play is to run to a spot, receive the ball, and take a jumper no…
Read MoreJ.J. Redick 31 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/29/2017)
In a league where dudes are making large amounts of threes on a regular basis, and considering that J.J. Redick is still an elite three-point shooter, seven three-pointers being his season high doesn’t even seem that impressive. Why hasn’t he made ten in a game yet? Why don’t the Clippers spam those screen plays to…
Read MoreMalcolm Brogdon 16 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/29/2017)
Malcolm Brogdon pretty much single-handedly dad-dicked the Boston Celtics in the fourth quarter tonight. That last shot over the flaccid and impotent Avery Bradley? Classic. Right up there in classic Boston NBA moments with “Havlicek stole the ball!” and “Paul Pierce wheelchair”. They’re gonna be playing that shot on ESPN Classic for years to come,…
Read MoreBen McLemore 22 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2017)
One of my biggest regrets this season will be not including in this vid the Kings’ color commentator saying “Those are Wilt-type numbers!” after Ben McLemore scored 17 points in 8 minutes or whatever. As you can tell, I don’t have very many regrets, because this one is kind of minor. What can I say?…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 23 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2017)
Has Terrence Ross been a disappointment so far in Orlando? Does it even matter? If people were expecting a new and improved T-Ross just because he went to a new team where the coach doesn’t hate him, those people are probably disappointed. I don’t get the feeling that very many people were expecting that, though….
Read MoreVince Carter 21 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2017)
With this game, Vince Carter passed Ray Allen for 22nd on the all-time scoring list. He now sits at 24511 points, which seems like an awful lot. How is that only 22nd? If I scored that many points I would demand to be in the top 10 at the very least. Maybe top 5. Think…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2017)
There needs to be more hype around Richaun Homes. He already has the perfect nickname (Rich Holmie Chaun), which is like the first step to getting a lot of hype. The second step is playing really well, and that step has already been accomplished by Chaun. So he’s already got the first two steps down,…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 25 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2017)
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope took 22 shots last night, by far the most on the team and his second-highest FGA this season. This could be construed as a bad thing, given that there is at least one player on the team that is a more potent offensive threat (hint: it’s the player that was on the Bucks…
