What is the definition of a “shooting clinic?” Does the term even have a definition or is more like a nebulous concept that can’t be defined? Does going 10/12 from the field on almost entirely jumpers count as a “shooting clinic”? Because if it does, Dario Saric just put on a shooting clinic and every…

Frank Ntilikina 9 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2017)
I have to give the Knicks credit. I thought for sure that they’d be one of the most absolutely garbage teams this season, but they’re totally okay! A nice .500 level team. Good enough for the playoffs possibly. Just goes to show what having one star-level talent (Michael Beasley) can do for a team. Frank…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 23 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2017)
I have carefully constructed the thumbnail you saw before you clicked on this video. The AT&T logo, positioned carefully behind Michael Beasley’s head, resembles the halo/aura/gloriole that many period depictions of Catholic saints have, and that also appears in images of Jesus Christ. That is because I think Beasley is the savior of the Knicks’…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 23 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
Everyone likes to complain about the Jazz still being called the Jazz even though they’re in Utah now, but where is the outrage that the Lakers are still called the Lakers? Last time I checked, which was like an hour ago so I doubt things have changed that much, Los Angeles wasn’t the land of…
Read MorePatrick McCaw 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
I would like to issue an alert to all residents of the San Francisco Bay area: It is snowing right now where I am. You might have Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and the rest of those guys, and you might have several recent championships, and a coach who can think, and a track record of…
Read MoreRodney Hood 26 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
The scoring gap between Rodney Hood and Donovan Mitchell gets closer by the day. Hood is now .2 points per game behind his rookie teammate. Based on the general hype situation around those two players, I would estimate that Mitchell is averaging 32 points/6 assists while Hood is averaging 0 points/3 farts. I’m done trying…
Read MoreC.J. Miles 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
For some reason, the Raptors commentators were really obsessed with having C.J. Miles receive and shoot the ball. Maybe they were frustrated with DeRozan’s 0-of-3 or Lowry’s 2-of-7 from three, but it’s not like Miles didn’t attempt enough three-pointers; he took twelve of them, the most of any Raptors player this season. Or maybe they…
Read MoreSteven Adams 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
In the past I have compared Steven Adams’ statlines to those of his alleged “superstar” teammates in order to make him look like the Thunder’s best player. Let’s try it again and see if it works: Steven “KIWI GOAT” Adams: 8/9 FGs, 9 rebounds Russell “Empty Triple Doubles” Westbrook: 11/22 FGs, 13 assists, 8 rebounds…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 20 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
Taj Gibson’s heart was aching. Every time he remembered the sight of Karl-Anthony’s naked body slapping against Brianna, a literal jolt of pain went through his chest. He had no desire to eat, socialize, or even play basketball. The only thing he could think of that would ease his mental and spiritual pain was to…
Read MoreDeyonta Davis 14 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
Another Deyonta Davis highlight vid, another Deyonta Davis layup/dunk exhibition. If Jesus/Santa/Reptilians were really up there listening to my prayers, one of them would have made it so that this video contained a midrange jumper, but nope, it’s just Deyonta getting spoon-fed looks at the rim and him finishing them. Luckily, there are some nice…
