For reasons that I have yet to discern, people seem to think that Tyler Zeller is total crappy buttface garbage. I admit that I don’t see a whole ton of him besides highlights, but I haven’t really gotten the impression that is horrifically bad or anything. Obviously he could be better, but he’s been competent…

Salah Mejri 10 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
After tonight, Salah “The Tunisian Munition” Mejri is averaging almost 6 blocks per 36. Can you say “Mark Eaton”? What about “Manute Bol”? And, unlike last year, he’s not even fouling out in that time! One of the main problems with low-usage shot-blockers is that they tend to foul a heck of a lot. If…
Read MoreMalik Monk 21 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
I’m digging this trend of rookies being the most aggressive shooters on their team. First Donovan Mitchell, now Malik Monk. Monk took 17 shots tonight, one more the Kemba Walker, which is absolutely messed up and should never happen. Love it though! I know what Walker is at this point, but I don’t exactly know…
Read MoreDario Saric 25 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
It sucks not being the man on a team anymore. I’ve found that out multiple times throughout my basketball career. I have the luxury of switching teams when it happens to me; I’m not playing against middle schoolers most of the time now and I’m like prime Shaq and Kobe rolled into one. Dario Saric…
Read MoreBobby Portis 21 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
“You must learn to control your anger,” said the withered old monk, who sat across from a man much taller and stronger than him. “I understand, master,” replied Bobby Portis. “But it is hard. My emotions are too intense, and they don’t allow themselves to be bottled up within.” He remembered all the times in…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Career High 41 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
Nikola Jokic grimaced as his hold on the sheer rock face loosened. He had been climbing for what seemed like hours now and the day, which had started out so sunny and serene, had taken a turn. He had thought he felt the first few tentative drops of rain start to fall a few minutes…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 20 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
The Knicks are winning games. I don’t know how they’re doing it, presumably some sort of witchcraft is involved, but it’s happening right now and we can’t ignore it. Eventually they’ll have to learn how to win games where they’re not down by a bajillion points in the fourth quarter, maybe by playing better in…
Read MoreMike James 16 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2017)
With Mike “Never Scored 20 PPG for the Raptors” James’ increased prominence on his team, and, by extension, the NBA as a whole, it is now appropriate to include him in the “grossest NBA beard” discussion. He seems like the type of guy who would be attractive with a mild amount of stubble, but the…
Read MoreJames Johnson 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/6/2017)
That was not the most fun NBA game I ever watched. Good thing I didn’t pay for a ticket to attend, or would’ve been stuck there for the whole thing, glancing at my phone every three minutes wondering when I could get the heck out and rush home to make highlight vids. The neato thing…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 23 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/6/2017)
There are lots of really lame tattoos adorning NBA players. Like, tons. Maybe even most of them? I don’t think I’d go that far, but there is a serious lack of judgment going on with some of these dudes. Like, seriously Kirilenko, did you need to get a whole frickin’ demon plastered all over your…
