Fred Hoiberg walked into his hotel bedroom after a disappointing loss to the Nets and immediately noticed that a letter had been left for him on the desk. Curious as to who would be using such an outmoded method of communication, he tore open the unmarked envelope and read the letter inside: “Dear Fred, I…

Jordan Crawford 21 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2017)
Looking at Jordan “Instant Grits” Crawford’s game logs this year is a real trip: this dude just came in with his bucket of buckets and started spraying them everywhere the Pelicans went. From D-League to NBA without breaking a sweat, shooting the same shots and causing the same disbelieving groans from opposing fans. He’d better…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 19 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2017)
The Brooklyn Nets keep winning games. Most teams as bad as they are have fully embraced the tanking lifestyle by this point in the season, but since they don’t own their own pick, they can tell their players to play hard and try to actually win games. It’s kind of refreshing, actually. And it doesn’t…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 16 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (4/8/2017)
Zaza Pachulia is still the starting center for the Warriors after all this time. It is what it is at this point, Kerr obviously has made his decision. Pachulia and JaVale McGee are different players, bringing different skills to the table. One of the skills that differs the most between them? Dunking the basketball. I’ve…
Read MoreQuinn Cook 22 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2017)
This is the same thing that happened last year with the Pelicans: random players picked up from random places going off for 20-point nights. Last year, it was James Ennis and Jordan Hamilton (RIP in peace). This year, it’s Jordan Crawford and Quinn Cook. Hopefully the trend doesn’t continue past this year, or there are…
Read MoreMyles Turner 23 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2017)
Myles Turner has been in a slump lately. A big slump. He had 39 double-digit scoring games out of 40 during one stretch of the season, but has been held to single-digits way more often after the All-Star break. His jumper, so wet at the beginning of the season, has abandoned him somewhat. What’s the…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 31 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2017)
That was it, Hornets fans. The last chance to see your beloved team playing at home, not to be seen again until October. Nicolas Batum scored 31 on a vast array of jumpers, but it was not quite enough against a superior Celtics team. And so Buzz City sleeps, ready to buzz again come autumn….
Read MoreTerrence Ross 29 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/8/2017)
I am slowly coming to the conclusion that Terrence Ross just isn’t that good. Raptors fans probably already came to that conclusion years ago, but I, because of the nature of my work, mostly get to see the positives of any player. When he’s on, Ross is a sweet player, able of canning any three…
Read MoreGary Harris 20 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2017)
Is this the next stage of Garry Harris’ development? Being a dime-master in addition to being a highly efficient scorer? Because if this is truly a display of his new passing tendencies and not just a fluke game, then the #hypedforgaryharris hashtag just became woefully obsolete. Not because I am no longer hyped for Gary…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 17 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2017)
I’m pretty sure your old pal DTB is losing his mind. So, in case you’ve been out of the loop, I’ve got this 12-foot tall Buddy Hield statue living in my house now. It was a mistake that never should have happened, but the 3D-printing company doesn’t issue refunds, so I guess I’m stuck with…
