Manny Harris 18 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2014)

Is it bad that my mental image of Manny Harris, before this game, consisted of a black guy donning one of those ketchup-and-mustard Cavs jerseys with a head full of dreadlocks? Must be Manny Ramirez corrupting my thoughts with his insidious ways. Who can you trust if you can’t trust your own mind? But now…

Nate Wolters 8 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2014)

Nate Wolters was a fun story early in the season. Starting a bunch of games, not doing as bad as you would expect, throwing oops to Giannis. Point guard of the future, for sure. But now he doesn’t get to play except in blowouts (so every other game). I don’t get it. Ridnour is old…

Brandon Knight 27 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2014)

Brandon Knight is putting together a little streak of good play. However, the Bucks are getting routinely blown out by twenty points despite Knight’s apparent successes. Is Knight to blame for his teams dismal failure? Yes. Well, kind of. If he was a better point guard, his teammates would get better shots, but it’s not…

Kevin Martin 30 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2014)

Let’s pretend for a moment that you’re at a park shooting jumpers, and you get a little bored. Obviously, jumpers can never get boring, but that’s why it’s called “pretend”. What do you to spice up your routine? Dribble drills? Sprints? Hook shots? Don’t be stupid, you’re less than six feet tall, when are you…

Enes Kanter 24 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2014)

So, it appears that the much-vaunted Favors-Kanter tandem has been a failure. At least as part of the starting lineup. It turns out that, since neither one has a reliable outside shot, it cramped the spacing too much to be feasible. It’s not too late to trade one of them for Ryan Anderson. Kanter seems…

Nick Calathes Career High 11 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2014)

I’ve watched more than my share of Grizzlies games (#FreeJonLeuer). And I’m gonna be honest, Nick Calathes just doesn’t look like an NBA player. He has good passing instincts, but that’s about it. His shooting is woeful. He looks a step slow at all times. His hairline has totally forsaken him. But that doesn’t mean…

Marcus Thornton Career High 42 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/24/2014)

Marcus Thornton has had a rough stretch of games lately. Like, really rough. Sandpaper-like. He managed a 12 point game early in the month and was promptly rewarded with a spot in the starting lineup. He then proceeded to average around 4 points while playing 25-ish minutes a contest over the next 9 games. Way…

Chandler Parsons Career High 34 Points/10 Threes Full Highlights (1/24/2014)

Robert Horry’s gonna be pretty sad to find out that Parsons broke his Rockets record of 9 threes in a game. Until he looks at his hands bedecked with championship rings. Rings ease the pain of a lot of stuff, I’d guess. Oh yeah, the record. 10 threes. In a row. Without missing. And it’s…

Mirza Teletovic Career High 34 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/24/2014)

While Carmelo Anthony scored a historic 62 points in the storied Madison Square Garden, a lesser known but equally gutsy player was making his own history in the Barclays Center. How does 24 points in a quarter sound? Pretty good, right? Who on the Nets could achieve this amazing feat? Joe Johnson may be the…
