Yogi “All’s Ferrell in Love and War” Ferrell just doesn’t excite me. For whatever reason, I can’t muster even the smallest amount of hype for him. Theoretically I should be able to appreciate a six-foot-tall dude who can make it rain from three, but not so with Ferrell. Maybe his face is too square, I…

Trevor Ariza 23 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
“Yo Trevor, you said you know some secret way to get into the Clippers’ locker room?” James Harden asked his teammate Trevor Ariza. James was flanked by Gerald Green, who was looking around the locker room to make sure nobody was listening too closely to their conversation. Trevor raised his eyebrows; he knew what James…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 22 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
Last night’s recipient of the SORPWWOAGB award was none other than the Pacers’ Thaddeus Young. In case your brain is too small to remember what the acronym stands for, it’s the “Scrub or Role Player Who Went Out and Got Buckets” award. The SORPWWOAGB Award (pronounced “sorp woag bee”) was instituted by myself to raise…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 19 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
Domantas Sabonis pretty much gave the Suns his Saboner in this game, except he didn’t even give them the full length. He gave them like half of his Saboner. They got a taste of it. Not the full load, but a taste. They would have tasted more of Sabonis’ Lithuanian Flagpole, but Sabonis was taken…
Read MoreTroy Daniels 19 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
What even is the nature of highlights? In the game before this one, Troy Daniels scored an even fifteen points, points that were given to him as a reward for making five three-pointers. I did not make a highlight video because fifteen points is not enough for Troy “Money Man” Daniels. Then he goes out…
Read MoreDario Saric 21 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
Am I the only one that thinks that thumbnail looks like some sort of Dario Saric impersonator rather than the real thing? Like they pulled some burly guy off the street, dressed him up in a Sixers jersey, gave him that weird haircut that kinda reminds me of a certain genocidal German, but forgot to…
Read MoreBobby Portis 22 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
I consistently overestimate the interest that the average viewer has in Bobby “That Boy Ain’t Right” Portis. It’s been a long time since that punchout with Mirotic, and any extra attention he gained from that is gone. I also get the feeling that he’s sort of a relic on the Bulls, a remnant of a…
Read MoreWesley Matthews 29 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
Wesley “Consolation Prize” Matthews may be getting paid a ton of money, but at least he can still sort of play basketball. There a bunch of players getting paid out there who can’t. And it’s not like he’s even getting that much worse; he arrived in Dallas an okay-ish player, and an okay-ish player he…
Read MoreJosh Jackson 20 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
This was, you could say, a “vintage” Suns performance. Vintage in that they got their ass kicked to hell and back, just like they did at the beginning of the season. They came back to make the score semi-respectable, but don’t let the final total fool you: the Pacers opened a can of whoop-ass on…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/23/2018)
Fred “Prime Gerald Wallace” VanVleet’s final statline tonight: 19 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks. He got those stats not as a do-it-all small forward, but as a point guard who is, realistically, only like 5’10”. Yeah, the NBA lists him at 6 feet. They also list J.J. Barea at that height;…
