Trevor Ariza Career High 40 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/1/2014)

God Dammit Ariza! Stop toying with my emotions! I saw your first quarter stats. I saw the 6 threes. Call me a fool, but I thought this time might be different. I thought, perhaps wishfully, that you would tie or possible even break the record for most threes made in a game. You and I…

Omri Casspi 16 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2014)

Omri “The Omriscient One” Casspi did not have the greatest month of February ever. In a month where 5 players averaged 30 or above, Casspi averaged around 4. (I say around because my new keyboard has no calculator button and I can’t be arsed to dick around in the start menu to find the actual…

Greg Oden 8 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (3/1/2014)

Am I the only one who can barely stand watching the Heat? But not because of the usual reasons why I can’t stand the Heat, like their football-snap opening or their dumb video-bombing. Or Dwyane Wade. But because I know, one day, I’ll be watching as Oden skies for a rebound and comes crashing down…

Klay Thompson 25 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2014)

Stats accumulated against the Knicks shouldn’t even count anymore. They are like the 80’s-era Nuggets in terms of not playing any defense ever. Yeah, Klay-doh scored 25 points, but you can just see the defeat in the Knicks’ eyes. They don’t even care about closing out on shooters. Frankly, I’m a little mad that Klay-doh…

MarShon Brooks 23 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2014)

MarShon Brooks is one of those players who grew up worshiping at the altar of Kobe Bryant. A member of the new generation who eschew Jordan fanaticism in favor of a guy with a fro. But if you model your game after Kobe, and aren’t as talented as he was, things aren’t going to be…

Jason Thompson 17 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2014)

Jason Thompson is the longest-tenured player on the Kings. In a sense, that makes him the “franchise player”, and thus, it’s his fault that the Kings never end up with more than thirty wins. I bet it drives him crazy that they are constantly bringing in players to take his minutes, yet never have the…

Derrick Williams 26 Points/12 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/28/2014)

“Damn, where’s D’Will? He certainly would want to go clubbing with us if he only knew of our intentions,” Reggie Evans said, looking around for signs of his teammate, then down at his phone. “My texts aren’t going through. He must have changed his number. Who wants to go look for him?” The assembled teammates…

Jordan Farmar Career High 30 Points/7 Assists/8 Threes Full Highlights (2/28/2014)

Games like this remind me why I wish more teams would run and gun instead of being patient and playing defense. I don’t want to see good fundamental play. I want to see blurs in colored uniforms spamming threes without conscience. There’s a reason I never watch the Bulls or Pacers and am always excited…

Gary Neal Bobcats Debut 15 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2014)

Gary Neal is not the kind of player that fits very well on a rebuilding team like the Bucks. Of course, they signed him with the intent of making some noise in a weak Eastern Conference, but only after it became apparent that that wasn’t happening, did they change course and claim it was a…

Mike Miller 19 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2014)

Kevin Durant sat happily on the bench. The Thunder were up 16 in the fourth against an offensively-challenged Grizzlies squad. His smile soon turned to a grimace, however, as Mike Miller scored 6 quick points. “What’s wrong man, you had some bad McNuggets?” Andre Roberson asked concernedly. “No man, it’s Mike Miller. I thought he…
