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…

Robert Covington 24 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2017)
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,…
Read MoreMason Plumlee 19 Points/5 Assists/1 Injury Full Highlights (3/8/2017)
Plumlee tried to emulate Nikola Jokic in this game, and he pretty much succeeded. He got five assists, which is an amount that we would expect Jokic to get. He scored nineteen points, which is an amount that would be a little bit low for Jokic, but still acceptable. He had ten rebounds, which is,…
Read MoreOtto Porter 22 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)
When Bojan Bogdanovic got traded to the Wizards he immediately began to sap away the three-point shooting powers that rightfully belonged to Otto Porter. It couldn’t be more obvious to anybody who’s paying attention to the Wizards right now. Stealing away Porter’s powers through devious, possibly occult sorcery is a very mean thing for Bogdanovic…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 23 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)
Question to the people of France: if you don’t care about Rudy Gobert or Evan Fournier or Nic Batum or Kevin Seraphin anymore, who DO you care about? The French aren’t the most nationalistic people in mainland Europe (not even close), but you guys definitely have some nationalistic fervor building up in your loins and…
Read MoreTyreke Evans 26 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)
“I ain’t goin’ back there. Nope. No way,” Tyreke Evans told his agent over the phone. “Tell ’em I refuse to report.” His agent sighed. “I’m afraid you don’t have that kind of clout, Tyreke.” Tyreke would not be shaken from his position. “I don’t care. I’m not playin’ in Sacramento again. You know how…
Read MoreDavid Lee 18 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)
Somehow David Lee scored 18 points on 8-of-8 shooting earlier this month and I totally overlooked it. I have already fired the guy who gets paid minimum wage to tell me which videos I should be making and am back to doing it myself (good help is so hard to find these days), but to…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 15 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2017)
Ricky Rubio has pretty much been averaging 12/10 on 40% shooting since the new year. Rubio has never been a consistent shooter for an entire season, but doing it for two and a half months is a pretty good start. And this is the guy they wanted to trade for Derrick Rose? My laughter is…
