It’s really amazing how consistently Nikola Vucevic manages to shoot no free throws. He’s the least free-throw-prone center in the league, by far, and he proved it again tonight. He took 20 shots, to go with a big old goose egg in the FTA column. If he feels like there’s too much contact while he’s…

Jawun Evans 15 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/15/2017)
The Clippers are currently trotting out lineups more reminiscent of 76ers April rotations than anything. They definitely don’t resemble anything a real NBA team with aspirations of winning games would be trying. Injuries suck, is the lesson here. I’m counting 3 legit players that were available tonight: Lou Williams, DeAndre Jordan, Montrezl Harrell and Wesley…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 22 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2017)
Why does Ricky Rubio suck now? I might catch some flak for using that term, but it’s true. The Jazz are withstanding it well, but there’s no denying it. The eye-test says he sucks, the boxscore says he sucks, and the advanced stats say he sucks. Especially compared to what we know he’s capable of….
Read MoreKhris Middleton 29 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2017)
After tonight, Khris Middleton is averaging just a hair over 20 points per game on the season. We are living in a world where he is around the 25th best scorer in the league (20 ppg or not doesn’t change much in that regard). Isn’t that kinda nuts? From 2nd round pick to throw-in on…
Read MoreBobby Portis Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2017)
No Markkanen, no problem. No one on the Bucks could handle Bobby Portis tonight. Neither could they handle Robin Lopez, but he’s not the one who just got a career-high in points. Thon Maker, in particular, made me wish that he was back in Canada going through high school for the third time. Portis basically…
Read MoreJonas Jerebko 17 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2017)
Looks like we’re gonna see a lot of Jonas Jerebko tomorrow against the Cavaliers. I assume that neither Gobert nor Favors are going to recover in time, and Jerebko is one of the few remaining players on the roster who can me described with the adjective “big”. I doubt he can play center effectively, but…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 22 Points/5 Threes Nets Debut Full Highlights (12/15/2017)
“Trust the Process!” slurs the drunken Philly resident, having just finished throwing snowballs at Santa and vomiting on little children. “Joel Embiid is my favorite player! Hinkie died for our sins! We traded Stauskas? Good!” he yells as he takes another swig from his flask, and makes sure the batteries he will use to pelt…
