Another Warren-style performance for T.J. Warren. 11 buckets, all of them layups, with 1 measly free throw to round things out. And while it may be extremely typical for him, does this remind you of anyone else? Any other All-Star from the past…? This one’s hard, so I’m just going to tell you: Kiki Vandeweghe….

Robin Lopez 22 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2018)
Robin “Kosta Koufos 2.0” Lopez was drafted the same year as Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook. So why does it seem like he’s old as heck and going to retire soon? It’s just a feeling I get. I view those other two dudes as having a good chunk of their primes left, but not Robin….
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/22/2018)
Advanced stats will tell you that De’Aaron Fox isn’t a good player. But the eye test… actually the eye test will tell you the same thing but not as harshly. These highlights though, and all the highlights you can find of him on the Internet, those will tell you that he is a complete unstoppable…
Read MoreGreg Monroe 19 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2018)
It was nice of the Suns to dust off Greg Monroe against the Bucks, so his old fans could see what he’s up to. Nice, but also misleading, because if they wanted to present a more accurate picture of what he’s doing with the Suns they would leave him on the bench for the whole…
Read MoreJeff Teague 30 Points/16 Free Throws Full Highlights (1/22/2018)
I didn’t want to do it. I really didn’t want to do it. However, sometimes I must put the needs of the community ahead of my own. This actually isn’t one of those times because the community definitely does not need to see Jeff Teague making 16 free throws with a few buckets interspersed sparsely…
Read MoreMario Chalmers 17 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2018)
Mario Chalmers cemented himself into basketball history by winning two championships with the Heat, and his cemented place in those hallowed halls is even more cemented than usual because he actually played well in those playoffs. A lot of scrub-type players will, by default, be noted in the history books as having won a ‘chip,…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 18 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2018)
I sort of feel like Jeremy “Sleepy Eyes” Lamb is breaking out this year but nobody realizes or cares because the Hornets as a team are so uninspiring. I didn’t even fully realize it myself until I realized that I had no material ready for this description, so I pulled up Sleepy’s basketball-reference page and…
Read MoreMontrezl Harrell 23 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/22/2018)
I don’t know how closely they compare as players, but what I do know is that Montrezl “Mon-Trezzle” Harrell pretty much replaces all the dunking that is missing from the Clippers’ lineup when DeAndre Jordan is out. He doesn’t care that he’s only six-foot-eight. He’ll dunk it anywhere, anytime, and he’ll make sure to mistreat…
Read MoreMilos Teodosic 15 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/22/2018)
Milos Teodosic is slowly but surely dragging his field goal percentage out of the gutter as he becomes acclimated to the NBA game and as his foot injury bothers him less and less. In January he’s averaging 11 points and 5 assists on 47% shooting (43% from three), a far cry from the month of…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 18 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2018)
Why does Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau hate Nemanja Bjelica? More importantly, why does he hate the country of Serbia and all its people? Bjelica is shooting career-high percentages right now, he’s basically a perfect stretch four, and he’s in his prime, yet he only gets fifteen minutes per game. I get that Taj Gibson is…
