“Hey Taj.” Taj looked up at his teammate Karl-Anthony Towns, then looked away in annoyance. “Hey.” “Listen, I’m sorry I emasculated you in front of the whole team by bragging about how I, you know, with that cheerleader you like.” Karl-Anthony said apologetically, his hands clasped behind his back. “I forgot her name now.” “Brianna.”…

Steven Adams 19 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2017)
OFFICIAL PEOPLE TO BLAME FOR STEVEN ADAMS ONLY SCORING TWO POINTS IN THE SECOND HALF AFTER BEING UNSTOPPABLE IN THE FIRST HALF POWER RANKINGS 1. Russell Westbrook. Did not pass Steven Adams the ball enough. Chased rebounds for a triple-double instead. 2. Paul George. Did not pass Steven Adams the ball enough. Chucked shots and…
Read MoreJoffrey Lauvergne 12 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2017)
Twelve points isn’t a whole lot for Joffrey Lauvergne. He’s shown that he can be a semi-legitimate scoring threat at least some of the time, and a measly dozen points doesn’t adequately display what he has to offer. However, he barely gets any minutes on this Spurs team (Davis Bertans is stealing his minutes), and…
Read MoreLarry Nance Jr. 15 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2017)
How often do you think that Larry Nance Jr. roasts Brook Lopez for that huge dunk Nance threw down on Lopez last year when they were on different teams? I hope it’s a daily thing in that locker room. “Yo Brook remember when I dunked on you so hard that your own bench freaked out?”…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 22 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2017)
Kyle “The Jakuzzi” Kuzma finally converted on a bigtime whammy-jam in this game, which is nice to see, since it seems like he’s missed every big dunk he’s tried. The only problem with this one was there was nobody underneath him to get invited to the poster party. Still, he’s missed enough dunks where I’m…
Read MoreDejounte Murray 17 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2017)
If I really wanted to make you sad, I would have shown Dejounte Murray’s final steal of the game, the one that set up Brandon Paul’s missed game-tying three-point attempt. Murray had a great game, pesky on defense while also showing some nice driving ability, but the Spurs just couldn’t quite pull it off. The…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 16 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/3/2017)
There must be something seriously deficient about Davis Bertans that I’m not seeing, because he is barely getting any playing time this year. Not a lot of DNPs, which would actually almost be better, because he’s getting low single-digit minutes in most games. How is he supposed to be good if he barely gets warmed…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 30 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/3/2017)
The Clippers, in the span of a short few months, have gone from a perennial solid playoff team to what we have today: a whole bunch of scrubs and DeAndre Jordan. Him, Austin Rivers, and Lou Williams are the only decent players that played tonight. Hopefully Gallinari comes back soon, because a team that has…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 34 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2017)
If I had to rank NBA players based on nothing but how sweet their highlights are to watch, Nikola Vucevic would definitely be way up there. The amount of buckets he scores relative to how long his vids are is better than anybody. He doesn’t mess around with the other parts of highlightable basketball. He…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 21 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2017)
With both of the Knicks’ most potent scoring threats out tonight, I expected more from Michael Beasley. He did take 19 shots, most on the team by far, but only earned 21 points out of them. The amount of shots was okay, though it could have been a lot higher, but that’s just not enough…
