Ben McLemore 18 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2014)

What happened to Ben “Video Game” McLemore? He was touted as having one of the purest strokes in the league when he came in. And it does look pretty darn good. So why aren’t his shots going in? He even gets to be the starter and he still can’t do anything. Why? There are several…

Anthony Morrow 20 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2014)

“I don’t know about this, Tyreke,” Anthony said worriedly, staring with distrust at the blender of protein shake sitting on the table in front of him. “I’m just fine the way I am.” “No you ain’t, dog,” Tyreke responded. “You once posted up a chair and lost. You the skinniest dude in the league fo’…

Josh McRoberts Career High 24 Points/6 Assists/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/28/2014)

When he’s not pleading with you to join his commune or offering to let you try one of his handmade hemp headbands, Josh McRoberts is probably the best passing bigman in the game. Not only that, his three-point game has evolved to the point where he no longer passes up wide-open looks. The Bobcats use…

Marco Belinelli 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/28/2014)

The Spurs are contenders. Again. Surprised? Obviously not. Everyone saw this coming. The big names are still playing, for the most part, at their established level. Tim Duncan took Father Time and slapped him in the nads. Tony Parker’s floater game is so refined that looking directly at it causes blindness. Manu Ginobili pretends that…

Udonis Haslem 17 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2014)

“What will you be having?” “Gimme your 32 ounce porterhouse. I’m a hungry dude. Big game tonight. Sides of asparagus and mashed potatoes. And some mineral water.” “How would you like the steak cooked? Well done?” “No way man, actually…” The waiter cut him off. “Get it? WELL DONE! Because you’re frickin’ done! No way…

Nikola Vucevic 24 Points/23 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/28/2014)

You are now aware that the Magic commentator sounds like he’s saying Vuce-Bitch every time he says Nikola Vucevic’s last name. You will not be able to unhear this. Enjoy watching him for the rest of your life thinking about what a bitch he is. For opposing centers to handle, maybe. This is his 6th…

Henry Sims 18 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2014)

The never-ending series of experiments that has constituted the end of the 76ers season has not borne much fruit. Almost every player they’ve brought in has looked about as bad as expected. That’s not even counting the season-long Tony Wroten experiment, its hypothesis being “Does Tony Wroten not suck?” and the conclusion, found after much…

Jeff Teague 22 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2014)

After getting a shiny 32-million contract, Jeff Teague’s shooting numbers have predictably regressed. He is barely above 30% on threes. A common syndrome among NBA players, this reduction in play quality is referred to as “getting paid”. It happens all the time, and it is almost expected that a player’s numbers will stop improving after…

James Anderson 30 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/26/2014)

The 76ers have a streak going. You probably have heard all too much about it, so I won’t talk about that today. It’s not nearly as interesting as the individual streak one of the Philly players has. James Anderson’s 2-game streak of kicking his former team’s ass. He’s like a desperate ex who tries embarrassingly…

Jared Sullinger 26 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2014)

Jared Sullinger is a fortunate guy. The Celtics’ coaching staff actually told him to shoot MORE threes this year. I’ve been ragging on him for shooting too many and it turns out it’s not even his fault. Sorry Jared. I guess the idea is that since this is a lost season anyway they should experiment…
