So, the Rockets have found their power forward of the future. No, not Donatas Motiejunas. Seriously? Look at the title of the video. Come on man. All they need to reach contender status is a good point guard. I’m not totally sold on Patrick Beverley. And obviously Jeremy Lin is Jeremy Lin. But the combo…

Terrence Ross 22 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (3/16/2014)
Terrence Ross is a pretty good NBA player. His 51 point game was an anomaly, but still, pretty good. His three point stroke is smooth. He sends the commentators into a frenzy with his ferocious jams. But I sometimes wonder if he could find more success in another sport. Not baseball or football or anything…
Read MoreReggie Bullock Career High 14 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2014)
Reggie Bullock belatedly celebrated Blake Griffin’s birthday with the rest of the team in Blake’s lavishly-appointed living room. Eating a slice of cake, he wondered if his teammates even knew that his own birthday fell on the same day. But even if they did, why would they care? He was just a rookie. He should…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 26 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2014)
When I was watching this game, it almost felt like Derrick Williams was playing up to the potential that he seemed to show in college. It was the most glorious feeling ever. For once in my life, I was overcome not by negative emotions like hate and anger, but instead, by happiness and optimism. For…
Read MoreRay Allen 25 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (3/16/2014)
How many technical free throws can one guy hit in a game? What’s the record? Because 5 is a lot. Ray Allen is a great guy to have in those kind of situations. Which brings me to my next topic: that new delay of game rule. It messes me up. When I watch college basketball…
Read MoreDerrick Favors Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2014)
The hype train for Derrick Favors has pretty much derailed. It’s been a long time since he was the third overall pick, and while he has improved markedly over the course of his career, I don’t sense that there is a ton of hope that he will live up to his potential. It doesn’t help…
Read MoreGorgui Dieng Career High 12 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (3/16/2014)
Gorgui Dieng just got a career high in pretty much everything: points with 12, rebounds with 11, blocks with 5, and steals with 2. The 5 blocks were the most impressive thing. These weren’t wimpy blocks where he barely grazed the ball or stripped the ball as the shooter was going up. These were MAN…
Read MoreNate Wolters 15 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2014)
Nate Wolters was allegedly a great scorer in college (I wouldn’t know, who watches college basketball anyway?). It bothers me that, in the NBA, he’s trying to be more of a distributing PG. Um, excuse me, you averaged over 20 PPG your senior year, how about you just hog the ball and try to channel…
Read MoreMarcus Thornton 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/15/2014)
“Hey, Andrei, crazy that stuff going on in Ukraine, isn’t it?” Marcus asked his teammate. “You know Marcus, I don’t really pay attention to that stuff.” Andrei replied. “I just try to stay out of it and play basketball.” Andrei’s lack of enthusiasm for the subject did not deter Marcus. “Yeah, what with Russia invading…
Read MorePero Antic 16 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (3/15/2014)
Pero Antic keeps having these “okay” games. 16 points is cool. 17 points would have been cooler but the racist and biased scorekeepers took one of his points away. (to be fair his foot was totally inside the arc but that doesn’t disprove my assertion that the scorekeepers hate Macedonians.) But he can’t seem to…
