DeAndre Jordan 16 Points/7 Dunks/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/20/2014)

DeAndre Jordan is proving NBA haters wrong. It is, in fact, possible to succeed in the NBA simply by being really tall and really athletic. Fundamentals don’t exist in DeAndre’s world. Free Throws? Nah. Just run and jump and flail your arms. The recipe for NBA success. I’m not hating or anything. He’s a fun…

Marcin Gortat 19 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/20/2014)

Martell Webster, seated next to Marcin on the bench, decided it would be a good time to bring up his plans. “Yo Marcin, I know it’s your birthday today, so me and the guys thought we would take you out to a strip joint for some partyin’.” Marcin smiled happily. He hadn’t expected anybody to…

D.J. Augustin 27 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2014)

DJ Augustin was recently waived by the Toronto Raptors. And for good reason too, as he was totally sucking. He didn’t get much of a chance, but how many chances does one deserve when one screws them all up? But now he gets to start for an injury-ravaged Bulls team who desperately needed a point…

Pero Antic Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2014)

Pero Antic walked up to the Hawk’s practice facility on the first day of training camp, eager to make a good impression. He opened the door, and walked towards the gym, encountering Jeff Teague. He smiled warmly and extended his hand. “Hi, I’m Pero Antic, your new teammate.” Jeff smiled and shook the offered hand….

Giannis Antetokounmpo 11 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (1/19/2014)

Giannis Antetokounmpo shows something different every game. Sometimes it’s his passing, or his athletic ability, his rebounding, or, in this game, his outside shooting. Imagine how good he’d be if he could put those things together in a single game! He might then be close to the hype that is being heaped on him. Every…

Nando De Colo 13 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (1/19/2014)

Nando De Colo is the next Manu Ginobili. I only say this because he plays for the Spurs, and the Spurs turn every weird-looking foreigner into a good player. We actually don’t have a good idea of how good Nando is, since he never gets to play, but it’s safe to say that he will…

Patrick Patterson 17 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2014)

“Hey Internet, This is my first blog post ever. I don’t really know what I’m going to write, but I promise it will be interesting. Toronto weather is pretty crummy this time of year so there’s not much else to do other than compose lengthy dissertations on topics that interest me. LOL I promise it…

Anthony Randolph 19 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2014)

Anthony Randolph is in the doghouse. Again. For all this guy’s potential, he simply can’t find a team that will play him regular minutes. Every time he gets traded, that team’s fanbase thinks that they will be the ones to unlock his gifts and turn him into a good player. And every time they are…

Ryan Kelly 17 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2014)

Ryan Kelly: clutchest mofo on the planet? No. Don’t be silly. Until he hits a game-winner he cannot be considered clutch, much less the “clutchest mofo on the planet”. Free throws are nice, but really, anybody should be able to hit those. But why are we talking about what he isn’t? We should be talking…

Brandon Knight 26 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/18/2014)

Apparently Brandon Knight hadn’t ever had to run a pick-and-roll until he got to the NBA? That would explain why he’s so damn bad at it. For a team whose sole offensive strategy is “set tons of screens”, it would be useful to have a point guard who could hit bigs rolling to the basket….
