I hear the rapping of knuckles on my door. Not expecting visitors and fairly certain that I hadn’t ordered any pizza deliveries lately, I walk to the door and open it in confusion. Outside it there is nobody waiting for me, and my confusion is heightened until I look down and see an envelop waiting…

Reggie Bullock 15 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2017)
If a kind Pistons fan could tell me why Reggie “Ock and Bull Torture” Bullock is still in the league, that would be really helpful. Because I can’t figure it out at all. There must be some hidden aspect to him, one that I’m simply not seeing, that allows him to somehow remain on a…
Read MoreMike Scott 22 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2017)
Just a few games after going 9 of 11 for 22 points, Mike Scott nearly replicates the feat, going 9 of 10 for 22 points. Am I the only one who thinks this is impressive, or does no one care about the Wizards right now? Or both. Maybe it’s both. Well, I care. I like…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 22 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2017)
The Nikola Mirotic comeback tour continues as the Bulls win their fifth (one two three four FIF) game in a row right on the heels of a 10-game losing streak. Five games featuring Mirotic, five wins. It wasn’t possible for this to be a coincidence after the fourth one, but now it’s really super-duper ultra…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 26 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2017)
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…
Read MoreJawun 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…
