The opportunity for Wesley Matthews to get in a pair of REVENGE GAMES back to back was squandered when he was made inactive against the Knicks yesterday. His stint with the Knicks was short (two games) and rather pathetic (4-for-19 shooting), but it existed, and I’m sure he’s mad at them for waiving him so…

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson 18 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has decided the type of player he is going to be in the NBA. He was flirting with trying to be a scorer for a bit there in Brooklyn, taking jumpers and generally being aggressive (-ish) looking for his shot. But with a jumper as borked as his is, he’s basically never going…
Read MoreBismack Biyombo 18 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
There was some minor concern, when he was drafted, that Bismack Biyombo wasn’t the age he said he was. He was 18 at the time of the draft, but there were rumors that he could be older. As old as 26, apparently. There’s no way he would be able to make himself 8 years younger…
Read MoreDevonte’ Graham 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
Devonte’ Graham is great from three. One of the best in the whole league, he’s basically the black Stephen Curry playing where Curry should really be playing if he had any respect for his heritage. He’s got the volume. He’s got the percentages. When it comes to launching from deep, hardly anyone does it better….
Read MoreJalen Brunson 21 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
The best thing about carefully-curated highlight videos is that if they are curated hard enough, all sense of context is removed and the only thing that remains is pure basketball. Just balls going in holes. That’s the real, primal reason that these videos get watched; everything else is just our stupid monkey brains trying to…
Read MoreChris Boucher Career High 21 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
Chris Boucher checked in to this game with four and a half minutes left in the third quarter and the Raptors down by 27. This is the point where I tell you what the situation of the game was when he checked out, but he didn’t check out. He played the rest of the way…
Read MoreTim Frazier 13 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I had an irrational bordering on rational attachment to Tim Frazier for the short amount of time he was on the Bucks. When he got cut after pre-season, I shed a single solitary manly tear. A tear of sadness. When he got signed by the Bucks after the Pelicans unwisely waived him, I shed a…
Read MoreElie Okobo 17 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
Elie Okobo must certainly represent the best chance for another French player to become a star in the NBA. They’ve already got a couple stars in Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier (that’s right, I’m calling him a star, and not just because he’s on my exclusion list), one washed-up semi-star (Nicolas Batum the scrotum puncher),…
Read MoreKevin Knox 19 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I wonder if this is what Knox needed to develop properly. Instead of the huge minutes and huge role he got in his rookie year, he’s now got a reduced role where he’s not asked to do more than he’s capable of. His numbers still don’t look great, and the jury’s still out as to…
Read MoreIvica Zubac 15 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
The likelihood of Lob City reforming in Los Angeles seems rather low, and if it were to reform at all, it would be on the Lakers (who have lob-catchers AD and McGee, as well as lob-throwers Rondo and LeBron) and not on the Clippers. That makes me sad in a way, but there’s also no…
