A lot of haters are eager to trash Jayson Tatum for not being as good as people expected this year and for getting ruined by Kobe Bryant. First off, it’s not his fault that a bunch of Celtic homers way overrated him after a few great playoff performances and a boom on LeBron James. Second…

Marcus Morris 23 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2018)
I’m surprised to agree with Hubie Brown on something (“wait a minute!”), but he’s right that Marcus Morris has been great for the Celtics this season. He fulfills perfectly the role of “veteran bucket-getter”, which is a needed role for a team with so much young talent like the Celtics. You need a bucket and…
Read MoreKevin Knox 21 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2018)
A Bucks game on Christmas! I never thought I’d live to see the day. The Bucks have been so bad, so consistently, that them being good still feels like I’m part of a very fun dream and the dream is about to get even funner when my middle school English teacher who I had a…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2018)
“Dear Santa, Your friend DTB doesn’t ask for much. You will notice that I have not even sent a wish list to you this year. That is how minimal my material wants are. So, while you and your elves get together the large piles of presents for the more consumeristically-minded little boys and girls out…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 22 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2018)
I’m not the best person to comment on another’s fashion or style, since my knowledge of what’s fashionable and stylish is sourced only from observing how midwesterners dress (on the rare occasion I actually go outside to see them). However, I just want to say this: the cornrows aren’t working out for Willie Cauley-Stein. Not…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 28 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2018)
When I woke up the next morning, I did what I usually do, which is scratch my ass, throw on some clothes, put a little bit of food and water in Japurri’s bowls (he doesn’t shut up until I do that for him) and trundle to my computer to get started on the day’s activities…
Read MoreJustise Winslow 22 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2018)
“Dear Santa, I understand that, with just two days to go until Christmas, it is perhaps a little bit late to be sending you a letter containing Christmas requests. However, I figured you would be able to handle it given that you apparently don’t operate on the same plane of spacetime as the rest of…
Read MoreLarry Nance Jr. 20 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/23/2018)
This is Larry Nance’s fourth season in the league, and he has yet to have a true “breakout” game; his career-high in scoring is a mere 22 points. I’m not going to rag on him too much considering that his relatively low volume allows him to be efficient in a way that young players often…
Read MoreWilly Hernangomez 19 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2018)
I need a kind Charlotte fan to tell me why the heck Willy Hernangomez isn’t playing. Because I can’t figure it out at all. I figure he must be severely lacking in the “defense” department, but it must be really awful if that offsets his scoring and rebounding ability. The Knicks were doing the same…
Read MoreVince Carter 18 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (12/23/2018)
Vince Carter is in his 21st season in the league. Only four other players have played that many years in the NBA without perishing in the process. You know the list already, but here it is again: -Robert Parish -Kevin Willis -Kevin Garnett -Dirk Nowitzki -Vince Carter It is a sign of how much I…
