Rockets fans: please don’t expect anything from Danuel “Mini Capela” House. Just don’t. I know you guys really need something to cling on to, some shred of hope that isn’t injured, but House isn’t that hope. He looked good-ish last year for the Suns, but that was because the Suns weren’t even trying to win…

Mario Hezonja 17 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
I had hopes that a change of scenery would further elevate Mario Hezonja out of “almost bust” status and into “decent role-player” territory. It’s easy to forget now, but he was actually sort of good at times for the Magic last year. Almost kinda consistently, too. I was making fun of the Magic for not…

San Antonio is, in the eyes of the public, the best place for Euro role-players to go if they want to jumpstart their career. So, if any of them even noticed that Jakob Poeltl went southward (way southward), they probably thought “Oh, Pop will turn him into a double-double machine, not like I have any…

It was sweet when Ryan “ArchGOAT” Arcidiacono, who is the American Steve Nash, scored 22 last game. It was not sweet when he did so against the Bucks. I like it when role-players exceed their role and do great things, as long as they do it against teams that are not from the state of…

Luka Doncic’s dunk tonight will really spice up my end-of-season Luka Doncic Dunkilation which, up until tonight, was looking really, really lame. He’s an NBA player and kind of tall, so he can dunk, but that’s all you can say about him in that area. That he can do it. There was some power behind…
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 25 Points Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
Midseason trades are the best. Not even midseason, actually. Mid-start-of-season-and-Christmas trades are the best. When those happen, you know teams were just really regretting not trading the player during the offseason and couldn’t wait all the way until the trade deadline. Kyle Korver is gone now, which at first seems to bode well for Jordan…
