The giant, bearded man sat on the slimy stone floor of his dungeon cell, back resting uncomfortably on a cell wall composed of uneven, rough-cut stone blocks. There was no light apart from the faint dimness that filtered in through the small, barred window in the cell’s door. It was just enough to see by,…

Damyean Dotson 17 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Please tell me I’m not the only one who, despite knowing better, sounds out the name “Damyean” as “Dam Yeen”. I can’t help it. Teachers in school always told me to sound words out phonetically if they’re unfamiliar to me, so that’s what I’ve done, and now I can’t stop even though I know that…
Read MoreMalik Beasley Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Shown in the thumbnail: the disdain that Malik Beasley has for all the bandwagon Laker fans infesting every away arena in the country. Not shown in the thumbnail: Michael Beasley getting his bench-sore heinie totally kicked by the superior Beasley. I really want to use this description space as my own personal soapbox to denounce…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Not to sound needy or ungrateful, but can we get some of the old three-point shooting Domantas Sabonis mixed back in with this new version? He was only that way because Wesbrook made him stand in the corner and be marginalized, but it was valuable experience that he is now failing to use. He’s 4…
Read MoreTrae Young 17 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
It’s not a good thing when 4 games out of 20 account for two-thirds (20 out of 30) of your made three-pointers. We’re talking about Trae Young, of course, and I just can’t wait to diss him over and over again for being a chucky brickmaster these last few games. I actually like this dude….
Read MoreStanley Johnson 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
What’s the deal with the severe lack of Johnsons in the NBA right now? It’s basically the most second common surname in America (the first is Muhammad, read a book for once), and it has a storied history of premiere NBA players bearing it. Kevin Johnson (well, he used to be respected), Marques Johnson (gonna…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 18 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Fred “Vleet of Voot” VanVleet was weirdly amazing last year for the Raptors. He had sick advanced stats despite just okay regular stats, and every bench unit he was on crushed the competition. I don’t want to say that he was untouchable for Raptors fans, but let’s just say I have an archive of screenshotted…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 25 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
I have seen scattered comments floating around the internet that say T.J. Warren should be in consideration for MIP. Now, I love Warren, and if he got some hardware, I wouldn’t be too mad, but in what universe is he the most improved player out of all NBA players? He increased his three-point firing rate…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
The term has been used in the past I’m pretty sure, but I’m not aware of any current NBA duo (or WWE tag-team… team) using the nickname “The Ivory Towers”. So I’m just going to go ahead and give the devastating combo of Doug McDermott and Domantas Sabonis that collective moniker. It’s perfect, because they…
Read MoreAllonzo Trier 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Not like Allonzo Trier isn’t getting a good amount of hype, but shouldn’t an undrafted rookie scoring 11 points per game in the nation’s largest media market be getting shoved down our throats constantly? The Knicks don’t have much to be really excited for (WTF is wrong with Kevin Knox come on you guys told…
