Kent Bazemore 16 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2014)

Kent Bazemore’s true colors are showing. He doesn’t want to be a defensive specialist off the bench. He wants to be an offensive centerpiece, the kind of guy who takes tons of shots. Who can blame him? When I play basketball I want to score. I don’t want to try and stop the other guy….

Dennis Schroeder 8 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (3/13/2014)

Dennis Schroeder (Dënniß ßchrööder for the Germans out there, Guten Tag!) was hyped as the best pure point guard in the draft. That’s a nice way of saying that he can’t score at all. But he has good court vision and quickness, and everyone loves a selfless distributor on their team. He’s not doing super…

Mike Dunleavy 21 Points/1 Injury Full Highlights (3/13/2014)

Mike Dunleavy, henceforth referred to as “Manleavy”, is allegedly a dirty player. That’s why DeMarcus Cousins hates him. However, since Manleavy is white, he is a “tough competitor” as opposed to an “out-of-control thug”. Let us do away with the concept of race entirely and just accept the fact that all professional athletes are thugs!…

Tim Hardaway Jr. 22 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2014)

You have 10 seconds to give me one compelling reason that Tim Hardaway Jr. shouldn’t win the Rookie of the Year award. Time’s up. I thought so. No, “MCW has better stats” does not qualify as a compelling reason. I bet Hardaway could get some pretty sick stats too if he was given the keys…

Austin Rivers 14 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/12/2014)

You aren’t gonna win many games in the NBA when your fourth quarter offense consists entirely of Austin Rivers. All 5 shots, made or assisted by the guy who was probably the worst player in the league last year. Though to be fair, he had a really good night, with some nice finishes at the…

Amir Johnson 20 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2014)

Amir Johnson, cozy in his Snuggie, was again taking part in his favorite pastime: gauging the internet’s opinion of him. After watching an expertly-edited video entitled “Amir Johnson 22 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2014)”, he scrolled down to view the comments. He smiled as a fan of his had earnestly made a comment reading, “If his…

Kenneth Faried 26 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2014)

Kenneth “Far Out” Faried could be considered the ultimate hustle player. The only time his motor ever gets shut off is if there’s no weed around. He makes up for his lack of “traditional” offensive skills by throwing his body and hair all over the place, becoming a marijuana-scented blur on the court. In this…

Brandon Jennings 24 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2014)

Will Bynum approached his teammate after practice. “Hey, Brandon, wanna hit the weight room?” Brandon made a great show of being tired after the intense scrimmage. “Yo, man, I’d love to, but I’m just wiped. Maybe some other time.” “You can’t go the whole season without lifting, Brandon. Come on, just for a bit,” Will…

Danny Granger 18 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2014)

Has Danny Granger put the Clippers over the top, so that they are now truly contenders? No. If they were contenders before the signing, they’re obviously still contenders. But if they weren’t contenders before the signing, I fail to see how Danny Granger would improve them to that status. In other words, he doesn’t “move…

Mirza Teletovic 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/12/2014)

Nickname jerseys: the dumbest idea ever? The whole concept of nicknames for a player is not a good one anyway. Only a very scant few are worthwhile. “King James”, are you freaking kidding me. “MT3” isn’t very good either. If you’re gonna have a nickname at least have it not involve your own name in…
