Courtney Lee scored 24 tonight against the Heat, which is a nice amount of points for him. But wait! Before you heap praise on him, notice this fact: he didn’t score any points at all in the fourth quarter OR overtime. When his team needed him the most, he pulled a Houdini. With the end…

Brandon Ingram 22 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2018)
The Kevin Durant comparisons for Brandon Ingram, based on little but body type, are fading now. In their place are comparisons for a new superstar: Giannis Antetokounmpo. Ingram has been driving to the basket like a madman lately, trying to use his length to squeeze shots through the defense at the rim. Some games it…
Read MoreBryn Forbes 16 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2018)
I’m never not going to be hyped for Bryn Forbes. He’s like what we’d be seeing with Devin Booker right now if he was on a team that was a contender instead of a team that only wants to develop players. I’m exaggerating, but not even by that much. Booker had the keys to the…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 20 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2018)
Why are human ankles so fragile? It seems like evolution should’ve provided us with something a little more sturdy by now. And if you’re one of those nutsos who doesn’t believe in evolution, then your god has some stuff to answer to. Like why he designed us to have a flimsy piece of crap connecting…
Read MoreWayne Ellington 24 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2018)
When Wayne Ellington scores, the Heat win. When he doesn’t, the Heat lose. Simple. Three points or fewer from the man with the golden arm, the Heat haven’t won a game this season out of 8 tries. The conclusion here is simple: make sure Ellington is warmed up properly before the game, has had his…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 20 Points/1 Quarter Full Highlights (1/5/2018)
Making this video caused me severe anguish. I already watched Jonas Valanciunas dominate the Bucks’ collection of scrubigs (that’s scrub bigs for you foreigners out there) to the tune of 20 points in one frickin’ quarter. It was bad live, but it was even worse having to watch it closely enough to edit together this…
Read MoreJamal Murray 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/5/2018)
If Jamal Murray continues on his upward trajectory, there’s a chance he could become the Nuggets leading scorer this season. Wait… hold on! I’m looking at the point totals versus points per game, and he’s already their leading scorer! Damn! All he needs to do to keep that title through the end of the season…
Read MoreTrey Lyles Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2018)
REVENGE GAME ALERT. REVENGE GAME ALERT. TREY LYLES JUST HAD A REVENGE GAME AGAINST THE JIZZ. ALERT. I won’t say that the trade that sent Trey Lyles away to the Nuggets isn’t working out for them, because Donovan Mitchell is a beast, but I will say that the Jazz shouldn’t have given up on Lyles…
Read MoreKris Dunn Career High 32 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/5/2018)
Remember when the Bulls had a sweet inter-team point guard battle going on between Kris Dunn and Jerian Grant? Early in the season they looked to be about equal; now Dunn has so thoroughly crushed Grant that his brother Jerami is feeling it all the way over in Oklahoma City. Dunn took over the game…
Read MoreManu Ginobili 21 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2018)
Manu Ginobili refuses to be claimed by Father Time. He just keeps going. I’ve been watching Jason Terry slowly lug his useless corpse around the court for the Bucks, and it amazes me how much sprier Ginobili looks. He’s lost a step or two or five, but he can still get it done to a…
