This is what happens when Eric Gordon makes a ton of threes like he’s supposed to. The Rockets’ opponent gets blown out. Eric Gordon three-pointers = blowout win for the Rockets. It’s that simple. Out of the fourteen games this season where Gordon made five or more threes, only one of them was a loss….

Bobby Brown 11 Points Full Highlights (5/7/2017)
Eleven points in five minutes? You know what I’m thinking because you’re thinking it too. Tracy McGrady. And Kobe. Combined. The only thing that would make this cooler (besides spiked death pits and a basketball made out of lava) is if Bobby Brown’s eleven points were part of some kind of heroic comeback by the…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 16 Points Full Highlights (5/7/2017)
You know what disgusts me? Sportsmanship. When John Wall brutally undercut Terry Rozier on a dunk attempt, instead of allowing himself to be helped up, Rozier should’ve gotten to his feet as quickly as possible, squared himself, and punched Wall right in the nuts. Sportsmanship is for pansies and foreigners. Back in the NBA of…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 23 Points Full Highlights (5/7/2017)
I’m not going to sit here and write a eulogy for this era of the Raptors. Everyone seems to think that they’re going to blow it up after this, that they’re going to trade away major pieces in a firesale and start over with Bruno Caboclo at the helm (alright I doubt anyone thinks that…
Read MoreCory Joseph 20 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (5/7/2017)
Wow, turns out that the Raptors don’t even need Kyle Lowry to lose to the Cavaliers. I don’t see any point in re-signing him in free agency if his presence isn’t going to make a difference when they eventually run into LeBron and company. Just roll with the suddenly-semi-competent Cory Joseph as the starter and…
Read MoreKyle Korver 18 Points Full Highlights (5/7/2017)
YAWN. The Cavaliers keep winning. Can you expect people to keep tuning in when the outcome of all these games/series are are already determined? The whole point of watching sports is the idea that it is something unscripted, something brand new, something exciting. Sure, the Raptors made this one kind of close, but was there…
Read MoreAaron Gordon All 99 Dunks Full Highlights (2016-17 Season Dunkilation)
Through the eyeholes of his Donald Duck costume, Aaron Gordon kept a lookout for kids (or adults) who might be looking for a personal interaction with one of their favorite Disney characters. Thankfully, he was working an early-morning shift, and there was hardly anybody around to interact with. When none other than Magic teammate Evan…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 21 Points Full Highlights (5/6/2017)
Does anybody else get annoyed by the “PLAYOFF INTENSITY” fetishism that is displayed both on TV broadcasts and on the internet in general? Maybe I don’t like it when people display emotions since I myself am an emotionless semi-human, but the whole thing feels like its trying to ascribe more meaning to what is, like…
Read MoreDeAndre Jordan All 253 Dunks Full Highlights (2016-17 Season Dunkilation)
DeAndre Jordan was bored nearly to tears. On this perfectly straight stretch of Arizona highway which lay between Los Angeles and Houston, there was nothing to do but listen to podcasts. But his phone was almost out of battery and his car charger had been inadvertently left behind in Los Angeles, so now there weren’t…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (5/4/2017)
Does Scott Brooks even realize that he has a guy who once scored 44 points in a single game languishing on the bench? I’m trying to think of the last time Otto Porter scored 44 in an NBA-sanctioned contest, and you know what, I actually can’t think of it, because it never happened. But for…
