Troy Daniels 17 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2018)

I was thinking that maybe Troy “Ménage à Troys” Daniels just had a REVENGE GAME against his former team, the Hornets, but now I’m thinking that maybe he didn’t. Scoring 17 points is fine, and by itself that number might seem somewhat vengeful, but Daniels went 6-of-15 from the field. That kind of shooting inaccuracy…

Shelvin Mack 16 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2018)

Shelvin “The Macksturbator” Mack: should we call his made three-pointers “Threejaculations” or would that be taking the joke too far? I (mostly) graduated from that type of humor after middle school, but it’s still funny to make jokes related to the body’s sexual functions. It also toes the line with regards to how inappropriate I…

Jonathon Simmons 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/10/2018)

This highlight video has a number of things going against it. I will list those things for you now so you can see how tormented my life truly is: 1. There are too many free throws. Jonathon Simmons made more free throws (8) than he made field goals (7). Every time this happens, another fragment…

Rodney McGruder 13 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2018)

Rodney “M-Rod” McGruder: better or worse than Rodney Stuckey would be right now if you threw him back into the NBA? Note that, for the purposes of this exercise, Stuckey would still have been working out in preparation for a possible NBA return, so it’s not like we’re forklifting a fat, cheeseburger-laden Stuckey off his…

James Johnson 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/10/2018)

I don’t know how or why it happened, but the Heat completely booty-blasted the Wizards last night, AND they did it without Hassan Whiteside available, which conclusively proves that Whiteside isn’t even a vital part of either the Heat’s offensive success nor their defensive success. The Wizards were so thoroughly booty-bothered that the Heat even…

Dragan Bender 16 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2018)

If Dragan Bender doesn’t watch out, he’s gonna find himself pigeonholed into the “Big White Euro Who Only Shoots Threes” role for the rest of his career. Almost a full 3/4ths of his points are coming from the three-point zone (but is he proud to own it?????) this season, he shoots way more of them…

Milos Teodosic 15 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/10/2018)

Listen, I know trying to determine worth by looking at single-game plus-minus is a big no-no, but Milos Teodosic was plus-19 in an 8-point game while all the other big-minute players were hovering around 0. Don’t tell me that doesn’t mean anything. It’s just one game, but I truly believe that that statistic illustrates a…

Nicolas Batum 29 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/10/2018)

I think the Hornets would be in the playoff hunt right now if Nicolas “Ball Puncher” Batum wasn’t so damn inconsistent. One game he’ll look like this, hitting jumpers and making nice passes, then the next he’ll not do much except trudge around the court with a hangdog expression on his face. Consistency is hard…

Jodie Meeks 23 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2018)

I’m looking at the boxscore from the game where Jodie Meeks had 42 points with the Lakers, and holy BUTT, his teammates sucked. Four of them are still in the league, Pau Gasol (okay), Wesley Johnson (wow), Kent Bazemore (back when he sucked dongle), and Nick Young (who was a DNP). This was in 2014,…

Doug McDermott 20 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2018)

It will take a lot to get me off the Doug McDermott bandwagon. How could a Jimmer Fredette with actual NBA size not be a productive player? That is my reasoning, and maybe it’s super flawed, I don’t care, until he’s washed up and playing for peanuts in the Philippines I will maintain that he…
