If you told me there was a term called “Serbian Shuteye”, I would naturally assume that it involved Serbians punching people so hard that they were knocked unconscious. Wouldn’t you? I mean, that’s like the only possible definition. But no. Apparently “Serbian Shuteye” involves Nikola Jokic hitting a face-up jumper in someone’s face. How disappointing….

Al-Farouq Aminu 20 Points/5 Assists/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/3/2017)
This is the Al-Farouq Aminu the Blazers thought they were going to be getting this season after a career year last season. The Aminu who can shoot three-pointers and have them go in. I mean, the seven million dollars he’s getting isn’t just for his defense. It was for his nascent scoring ability, which has…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 11 Points/16 Assists Full Highlights (4/3/2017)
This is not very many field goals for Ricky Rubio. Only two, which means I could have left them out and the quality of this video would remain about the same. A layup, a midrange jumper (the kind he’s been canning regularly for a few weeks now), a bunch of lame free-throws, and that’s it…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 29 Points/5 Assists/5 Blocks Full Highlights (4/2/2017)
Brook Lopez was only three steals away from a 5×5 in this game. However, we shouldn’t take it for granted that he got the requisite five rebounds necessary for a 5×5, considering he’s averaging just 5.4 RBG this season (by far a career-low save for the five games he played in 2011-12). Who’s stealing Brook…
Read MoreBoris Diaw 19 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)
I didn’t really expect Boris “The Big Croissant” Diaw to be capable of a revenge game, but the tubby Frenchman must have had some unspent reserves of revenge residing in his glands because he just had an honest-to-god revenge game against the team that traded him last off-season. He did it in his typical slow,…
Read MoreBobby Portis 21 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)
Bobby Portis AKA Crazy Eyes Portis AKA Bobby Bitches has been the object of some consternation among Bulls fans. He never seems to perform well as a starter, the very times when his team needs him to step up, but he’s also inconsistent off the bench. It’s hard to blame all the Bulls’ problems on…
Read MorePatrick Beverley Career High 26 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/2/2017)
We just found out that James Harden is a product of his system. A “system babby” if you will. Pat Beverley was just one assist and two rebounds shy of a triple-double, but we have been conditioned to believe that Harden’s relentless stream of triple-doubles is something to be admired and adulated. Um, if Pat…
Read MoreTyler Ulis Career High 34 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/2/2017)
“Well, I just solidified my spot as the starting point guard going forward,” Tyler Ulis announced as he walked into the locker room after the game. He immediately approached Eric Bledsoe and shook his teammate’s hand. “It was nice being teammates with you, man, but you don’t really have any future with this team.” While…
Read MoreTroy Williams 21 Points/6 Threes Rockets Debut Full Highlights (4/2/2017)
This game by Troy Williams is right up there for the “Most Unexpected Performance” award, an award which should for real be a real award that the NBA really awards. Not convinced? Here, let me spell it out for you. For one, this is Williams’ career-high. That by itself isn’t too crazy, but it’s also…
Read MoreThon Maker 11 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)
Wasn’t that a nice little stretch for Thon Maker? 11 points in around 3 minutes of game time, spanning the second and third quarters, including a Dirk-like move on the master himself. Of course, since the vid title says “11 Points” right there, you know he didn’t do anything else the whole game (except get…
