Michael Beasley really has to step up now. If the Knicks have any chance of being watchable at all for the remainder of the season, he has to go out there and score 30 per game. It has to be the Michael Beasley show every night. No passing. Just one-on-one, mano y mano isos every…

Luke Kornet 11 Points/4 Blocks Knicks Debut Full Highlights (2/8/2018)
Most teams, if not all, have gotten good use out of their two-way players by this point in the season. A few among them have used up those players’ eligibility and been forced to get new ones, and one (the Suns) signed a two-wayer to a real contract because of how good he was than…
Read MoreTristan Thompson 17 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2018)
Tristan Thompson’s sleep was disturbed when he heard the unexpected squeaking of his bedroom door’s hinges. “Oh damn, that probably woke him up,” came a whispered voice from the area of the door. “Yeah, it kinda did,” Tristan replied sleepily into the darkness, recognizing the voice as that of his teammate LeBron James. “If this…
Read MoreJ.R. Smith 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/7/2018)
You can tell the Cavaliers commentators are desperate for any signs of life out of the Cavaliers in general and J.R. Smith in particular. They’ve watched their team completely implode, they know the drama that surrounds LeBron and his cadre of overpaid role-player teammates, and they’ve sat through a few seasons of Smith bricks. Their…
Read MoreJoe Harris 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/7/2018)
A pleasing performance for Joe Harris’ final game in a Nets uniform. 18 points, 6 assists. No, he hasn’t been traded yet. Just a hunch. I feel like I’m going to wake up tomorrow and be greeted with the news that he’s been traded to a new team for a second-round pick or something. Hopefully…
Read MoreAndrew Harrison Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2018)
Andrew “The Good Twin” Harrison was, lowkey (I promise that’s the last time I ever use that word, I lowkey think it’s one of the lamest words in the dictionary), really impressive at scoring the rock tonight. Just a nice, confident, well-rounded scoring display from a player who is known for not being able to…
Read MoreStanley Johnson 19 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2018)
Man, the Pistons sure are looking good since they got Blake Griffin. Now, the seemingly obvious explanation for their improvement is that Griffin is a great player and great players make teams better. I don’t buy that. Griffin is good, but he’s not so good that a team that was looking like garbage suddenly would…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 29 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2018)
Ricky Rubio is finally returning to last year’s form. Just in time for the trade deadline! The Jazz wish to move forward with Donovan Mitchell as the primary ballhandler/shooter/deity. At least, if I was the Jazz, that’s what I would want. Which is understandable, because Mitchell is a beast and on a cheap rookie deal….
Read MoreJosh Richardson Career High 30 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (2/7/2018)
Attention Heat people: you need to keep these alternate jerseys for the rest of the season and also the rest of forever. I don’t want to see your old crappy Bulls-colored ripoffs anymore. They remind me too much of LeBron, and you know what? I bet they also remind YOU too much of LeBron. The…
Read MoreAllen Crabbe Career High 34 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2018)
I’ve always liked Allen “Crabbey Patty” Crabbe’s game. Like a Khris Middleton-lite without the ball-handling skills. He was legit last year in Portland, his jumper was smooth and it was going in all the time, and he was getting paid huge bucks but that was okay because he’d only get better, right? Wrong. Something happened…
