The Rockets lose again, so they’re definitely garbage, but I’m still trying to decide if the Wizards are good or nah. Games like this, you’re like “oh yeah bro the Wiz are great I really like Tim Frazier as the backup PG”, but then you remember last game where they got backdoored by the Hawks…

Darren Collison 30 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2017)
With the sudden and unexpected emergence of Victor Oladipo, Darren Collison hasn’t been putting up the gaudy (I use that term losely) numbers he was earlier in the season. Surely that fact would sadden Darren Collison fans across the globe, but there aren’t any, so it’s all good. If he disappeared from the Pacers lineup…
Read MoreJoe Harris Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2017)
Admit it: when you saw “Joe Harris” and “21 Points” in the same video title, you thought to yourself: “Seven threes” Not an unreasonable assumption to make, considering what we know about Harris’ game, but an incorrect one. Also, if he did make seven triples, I’d definitely put that in the video title. Turns out…
Read MoreGerald Green 18 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (12/29/2017)
Gerald Green is back! The Bucks had him in the preseason, and cut him before the season started for some reason that I don’t even know, and when he didn’t get immediately picked up by another team I thought that might be it. At least until later in the season. But the Rockets are really…
Read MoreDennis Smith Jr. Triple Double 21 Pts/10 Asts/10 Rebs Full Highlights (12/29/2017)
I wouldn’t be surprised if the NBA takes away this triple-double after further review. Dennis Smith Jr.’s 10th rebound, shown at 2:30, is basically him hitting it with his hands, with one of his teammates actually picking it up. It didn’t look like he was trying to bat the ball in a direction, and even…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 28 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (12/29/2017)
I was impressed by Nikola Mirotic’s willingness to chuck up threes tonight. He was just throwing them at the rim without any hesitation. 16 attempts in 28 minutes in what looks to be the three-chuckingest performance of the season. Harden had 17 early in the season, but he had 35 minutes to do it in….
Read MoreTaurean Prince Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2017)
I’m still hard at work polishing up chapter two of my upcoming “Taurean Prince” sci-fi/fantasy (sci-fantasy) novel. Tentative title being “Twilight Over Taures”, though that may change. The word “twilight” is definitely gonna be part of it though, because I’ve learned that there’s nothing more fantasy-evoking than the concept of twilights/crepuscules/dawns/dusks. So, yeah, keep an…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2017)
Lauri “Ukkosenjumalan Poika” Markkanen, along with his partner in desecration Nikola Mirotic, just totally desecrated the Indiana Pacers with their combined Euro fury. 60 points between the two of them, 13 three pointers, I think I am allowed to say that the Bulls’ tank is now consumed by flames. No more tanking. Playoffs can still…
Read MoreIsh Smith 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2017)
This is Ish Smith’s time. The starting point guard (Reggie Jackson) is injured, and now he gets to come in and put up big numbers by pretending that he’s prime Chris Paul. The best periods of Smith’s career have been in similar circumstances: injuries on a mediocre team turn it from a mediocre team into…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 23 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2017)
With this game, it is CONFIRMED that Shabazz Napier is like a mini version of Damian Lillard except he doesn’t have a Soundcloud rap project. A Napier who was not a mini Damian Lillard wouldn’t have taken over this game the way this Napier did. When I saw he only had one point in the…
