It’s time to bury the “Chrisstaps Porzinguese” nickname for Marquese Chriss. It seems like his days as a stretchy big who shoots jumpshots are over. He has come to the sad, yet vital realization that if he wants to stick around in this league, he should stick to his strengths, his strengths being dunking and…

Ivica Zubac 17 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2020)
I had been getting tired of how the Rockets were being so widely praised for their “bold” and “revolutionary” (more like “cold” and “devolutionary”) strategy of not even pretending to have any true bigmen on the court. I understand that it’s fun to see something new in the NBA, but it’s easy to have gimmicky…
Read MoreDamion Lee 23 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2020)
Damion Lee kind of choked at the end of this one. He got a clutch steal (that’s not the choky part), got fouled, missed both free throws, missed the three pointer after his team got the rebound, failed to collect THAT rebound, then clear-path fouled Norman Powell. Yeah. It wasn’t a good sequence for him…
Read MoreNorman Powell Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2020)
I’m pretty sure that Norman Powell saw that he was playing the Warriors with Stephen Curry, saw all the TNT equipment scattered around the arena, saw the swarms of media members, felt the raucous energy of the fans, and decided that this was game 7 of the NBA Finals and he had to ball out…
Read MoreShake Milton 20 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2020)
I feel like 76ers fans have major beefs with pretty much every player on their roster. Ben Simmons: Can’t shoot, won’t shoot, will ignore pleading of coaches and teammates for him to please, please, please shoot the ball Joel Embiid: Inexplicably disappears in important games, Al Horford: Huge waste of money, old, can’t shoot, can’t…
Read MoreRaul Neto 16 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2020)
I don’t want to alarm anybody, but I have to share this startling and worrying fact that I just learned about Raul “Brazilian Steve Nash” Neto: He’s already 27 years old. I guess this is what happens when your rookie year happens when you’re 23. You spend a few years adjusting to the league and…
Read MoreWilly Hernangomez 14 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2020)
Juan Hernangomez has been getting all of the attention lately out of the two Hernangomez brothers. First off, Juan got traded. That’s gonna get you attention no matter how much you were doing on your former team or how much you do on your new team. Second off Juan went from barely playing in Denver…
Read MoreP.J. Washington 20 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2020)
When Hornets commentator Eric Collins exclaimed excitedly that P.J. Washington “had his jammies on” in reference to a big dunk, it blew my mind. How had I not ever thought of that pun? It seems so obvious now, but it apparently wasn’t obvious enough for my dumb brain to come up with it. That’s embarrassing…
Read MoreDevonte’ Graham 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/5/2020)
The Hornets made this one close all the way until the end, but they ended up falling to the Nuggets 112-114. Getting so close to grabbing a W off a pseudo-contender like the Nuggets might seem like a minor tragedy for the Hornets, but you’ve gotta think about the bigger picture here. In my opinion,…
