Kelly Oubre approached Devin Booker in the locker room after the game. “Hey Devin, I gotta tell you something.” Devin looked up from his phone. “You’re finally gotta smash that lady in the third row behind the bench who’s been making sexy eyes at you ever since you got traded here?” Kelly blinked once, twice….

Vince Carter 16 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2019)
I vaguely remember thinking that Vince Carter was washed back in the 2010-11 season when he got traded to the Suns. He had underperformed in Orlando and didn’t fare much better in Phoenix.

I’m looking at the Wizards roster right now, and I’m thinking that it’s lacking a little bit in “scorers”. There’s Bradley Beal, of course, but then who else on that team is just going to come in the game and start getting buckets? They’ve been leaning on Jeff Green (gasp) and Trevor Ariza (gag) to…
