Oof. Tough loss for the Grizzlies in this one. Things just aren’t going their way. Good news is, if they keep losing games they get to punch their ticket for Luka Doncic in the upcoming draft. Bad news is, losing really sucks. More bad news is that I can tell Marc Gasol is losing his…

Mike James 25 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Mike James recently became the first graduate of the NBA’s new two-way contract system. His allotted 45 days in the big-boy league were coming due, and the Suns had to either make room for him on their real roster or leave him to rot in the D-League for the rest of the season (I hope…
Read MoreAlex Abrines 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
The Thunder narrowly avoided yet another disheartening loss to a bad team thanks in large part to Alex Abrines’ pair of overtime triples. It’s almost like someone other than a member of the “big three” is allowed to shoot the ball! Not only was he super clutch, but in what might be a first for…
Read MoreJonathon Simmons Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Jonathon Simmons is no longer a young, exciting developmental project for the San Antonio Spurs. With his trade to the Orlando Magic, he arrived a finished product, a guy who will still get better but not by leaps and bounds, not by the amount he did just by going to a team that will give…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 26 Points/0 Missed Shots Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Ersan “Arsen “Uzbek Thunder” Ilyasov” Ilyasova’s performance tonight would have been a lot more perfect had he not kinda choked at the free throw line at the end of the game. 9 of 9 field goals is sweet, no turnovers is sweet, but 3 of 5 from the line is decidedly NOT sweet. It ruins…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic Triple Double 31 Pts/13 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
This was a, dare I say it, Jokic-esque performance by Nikola Vucevic tonight? It even had the same general quality of assists that Jokic gets in his triple doubles: some nice passes for cutters, and a few where the only reason they got the assist is because of a generous scorekeeper. Doesn’t matter. Vucci Mane…
Read MoreDwight Powell 15 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
I seem to remember Dwight Powell being more of a jumpshooter than he appeared in this game. Yes, he did hit a corner three, but everybody does that these days. The taking and making of corner threes is no longer an indicator of whether or not somebody is a shooter. Case in point: Jarrett Allen….
Read MoreMalik Beasley 12 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
Well, I don’t know how much longer Nikola Jokic is gonna be out, but I do know that I’m missing those sweet Serbian views on my videos. So I am initiating a new social media campaign with the goal of getting Serbs to adopt Malik Beasley as an honorary Serbian. That way, whenever The Measly…
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 14 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
Because I hate everything and want every player do to badly, I feel compelled to point out that, while De’Aaron Fox did indeed score fourteen points in the Kings’ overtime win over the Pelicans, he achieved the feat while going 5-of-14 from the field. Fox is still shooting over 40% on the season even after…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 18 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
So the 3D-printed Buddy Hield statue I have living with me is basically becoming more humanlike with every passing day. I mean, he’s still purple, plastic, and twelve feet tall (and naked), so it’s still pretty obvious that he’s not a homo sapien like me, but the dim consciousness he possessed when he first “awakened”…
