Terrence Jones just set an NBA record with three botched and-ones in three attempts during the third quarter against the Pelicans. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Rockets commentators brought something like that up during the telecast of the next game. There is a curious fascination with stats in the sports world, and local NBA…

Enes Kanter Career High 25 Points/11 Rebounds Full Highlights (1/15/2014)
It’s true. Turkey is the best country in the world. They have the hottest women, the coolest dudes, the most prestigious history, and an unextinguishable lust for freedom and fairness in government. And don’t forget that modern-day Turkey was also the seat of power for not only the Eastern Roman Empire, but the mighty and…
Read MoreGerald Green 28 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2014)
Gerald Green just absolutely embarrassed Kendall Marshall. Half the clips in this video are of Green abusing Marshall with midrange turnaround jumpers. It was like watching prime Kobe out there. Is this what people were expecting when Gerald was the #1 high-schooler in the country? You also get to see a replay Green hitting his…
Read MoreGreg Oden 6 Points/2 Dunks Heat Debut Full Highlights (1/15/2014)
Greg Oden looked warily down at the ground two stories below him. He and Brandon Roy stood on the roof of Oden’s fancy suburban house, with Oden himself holding a pogo stick. “Yo, Brandon, you sure this is a good idea? Cause it doesn’t feel like a good idea to me.” “Stop being a wimp,…
Read MoreKendall Marshall 10 Points/16 Assists Full Highlights (1/14/2014)
I guess Mike D’Antoni’s system really is good for point guards. Steve Blake was looking like a point-god earlier in the season before he passed away, and now erstwhile D-League scrub Kendall Marshall is racking up double-digit assist games regularly. Imagine if Steve Nash was healthy. We’d be seeing 20-assist games on a regular basis….
Read MoreLuol Deng 27 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2014)
Luol Deng must be so relieved. After years of playing 40 minutes per game and having to be accountable on the defensive end, he gets to go to a team with lower minutes requirements where he gets to run and chuck without having to play defense at all. Not everyone is so lucky to be…
Read MoreJodie Meeks 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/14/2014)
Kobe approached his teammate Jodie in the locker room. They were the only two present. “You ready, man?” Jodie nodded solemnly, retrieving the sledgehammer from his locker. “I guess. I wish it didn’t have to be this way.” Patting Jodie chummily on the shoulder, Kobe said, “It’s gotta happen, man. I’m not going to be…
Read MoreCourtney Lee 24 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2014)
Courtney Lee is currently experiencing the bump in play that comes with being traded to a new team. It happened to Derrick Williams. It happened to Kevin Martin. These players don’t magically get any better. I guess their roles increase, given that a team desired them enough to acquire them. And then after a few…
Read MoreAl Jefferson 35 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2014)
People complain that there isn’t enough post play in the NBA. People also complain that Al Jefferson is a ballhog in the post and isn’t very efficient. Well, duh! That’s what happens with post play, and why teams aren’t going to it as often as they used to. I like watching this stuff on occasion,…
Read MoreJ.J. Hickson 21 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (1/13/2014)
Here we are again. J.J. Hickson is starting at center for yet another team, despite being pretty much a perfect power forward. He has everything you want out of that position: midrange game, rebounding, and the ability to work on the block. At 6’9, he is also extremely undersized. Meanwhile, the Nuggets’ actual starter at…
