Tomas Satoransky is playing so well in the absence of John Wall that I am willing to forgive the Czech Republic for Jan Vesely. Satoransky may need a few more good games before I am willing to forgive George Zidek, though. That one hurt a lot. Failed countrymates aside, Sato has surprised me with his…

Bogdan Bogdanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)
Full disclosure: I don’t know what the heck the Kings commentators were talking about when they said that Bogdan “BogBog” Bogdanovic could tie his career-high at the line at the end of the game. Is there some sort of 20-point game he had before that I didn’t know about? I find that unlikely. I know…

I was trying to think of the last rookie to score 40 in a game, and I was thinking really hard, and the best I could come up with was when Brandon Jennings had 55. That was a long, long time ago, all the way back in 2009. And I was wrong. Stephen Curry and…

Josh Richardson has been broken this year. He’s worse in basically every category over his other two seasons in the league. Scoring rate, worse. Shooting percentages, worse, especially from three. Turnovers, worse. Assists, worse. Rebounds, about the same, but slightly worse. The only thing he’s been better at is starting every game instead of just…

I’d be more inclined to consider Aaron Gordon in the MIP race if he had more 20-point games this season. His scoring is way up, which is great, but a lot of the improvement comes from the two 40-burgers he’s had already this season. He’s scored in double figures every game he’s appeared in, but…

If you’ve been on the internet lately, and you definitely have, don’t lie to me, you may have noticed some controversy over something called “Net Neutrality”. Long story short, internet service providers (known by the snazzy acronym “ISP”s) are going to start slowing down the internet for people and sites until the pony up more…
