Jeremy Lamb sat despondently on one of the equipment cases scattered throughout the backstage area. “Yo, Steven, you said there would be cocaine.” Jeremy and the Little Lamb’s bass player looked sheepish. “I just said that so you would stop looking so sad after that disaster of a show.” “I wouldn’t even call it a…

Nick Calathes 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/11/2014)
Does accounting for the last three baskets of your team count as clutch? “Of course, DTB, only a special and clutch player would be able to take over the end of the game like that.” What if I told you it was over the last quarter of the game? Yeah, the Grizzlies offense is not…
Read MoreC.J. McCollum 15 Points/3 Assists Full Highlights (2/11/2014)
I’m writing this description from a coffee shop in Portland. I’m not in the city for a visit, though. I’ve moved here. The amount of hype I have for CJ McCollum dictated that I come here to worship at his altar. I sold all of my possessions, bought a warehouse-turned-loft in one of the hip…
Read MoreAnthony Bennett Career High 19 Points/10 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/11/2014)
The tide has turned for Anthony Bennett. He was the butt of many an internet joke. People gloried in his failures. People made merriment out of his rotundity. But no longer! Now, instead of jabs and insults, there is encouragement and kind comments about how much fitter he looks. People no longer want to see…
Read MoreBradley Beal Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2014)
After years of bungled draft picks and wasted assets, the Wizards are finally starting to resemble a decent team. Given that it’s been “their year” for like half a decade I’d say it’s about time. John Wall is looking somewhat like the superstar point guard he was supposed to be. Nene and Gortat bring veteran…
Read MoreJohn Henson 16 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
At what point do we start becoming concerned that John Henson seemingly can’t do anything with his right hand? Why does he even bother doing that shoulder shake thing if everyone knows that he’s just going to go lefty every time? It’s like he worked so hard on developing his off-hand that his dominant hand…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 14 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
Kelly Olynyk and Jared Sullinger. Next great bigman tandem in the NBA? Possibly! When both of them can shoot threes and post up and rebound, I’d say you’re in pretty good shape. Just give them a few years to develop fully. I fully expect Kelly to be the next Dirk. And Jared is the Barkley….
Read MoreAlexey Shved 11 Points/1 Huge Dunk Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
Alexey, despondent during a blowout not in the Timberwolves favor, walked back onto the court with sadness. Suddenly, his teammate Ricky Rubio approached him with some words of advice. “Change this face, be happy, enjoy!” Ricky urged, patting him on the shoulder. After glaring at him for a second, Alexey couldn’t help but smile at…
Read MoreMarreese Speights Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
What is that thing on Marreese Speights’ head? Oh god. It doesn’t look good, whatever it is. I Googled “Marreese Speights thing on head” (thanks autocomplete), but it didn’t shed any light on the matter. I hope it’s not cancer. Anyway, despite his disgusting cranial deformity, Marreese Speights had a career night against the team…
Read MorePatrick Patterson 22 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2014)
Patrick Patterson has bounced around the league quite a bit since being drafted by the Rockets. Why was he traded for Thomas Robinson? He’s way better than that guy. I get that he wasn’t a good fit on the Kings and so he played like crap. He’s not a great fit on the Raptors either,…
