Andre Drummond 14 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2013)

Why are the Pistons so bad at defense this year? With Monroe, Drummond, and Smith on the court they are horrific. Is it because Drummond is still learning the game, Monroe doesn’t give a crap, and Smith is overrated on that end? Probably. I kind of expected the struggles on offense, though. Drummond is a…

Jimmy Butler 20 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2013)

Jimmy Butler walked through the darkened streets of the burned-out city. The war had not been kind to Chicago. The basketball, his weapon, now normally colored again, betrayed no evidence of the destructive posterization it had been used for. The sirens still wailed. “Code Orange! Code Orange! Please stay in your houses until the all…

Anthony Davis 24 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (12/18/2013)

I’m going to be honest with you guys. When I heard that Anthony Davis was out 4-6 weeks with a fractured hand, I cried. For the first time in my life, I cried. I cried tears of mourning for the alley-oops that would never be; tears of sorrow for the displays of athleticism unperformed; tears…

Nikola Pekovic 30 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2013)

Does anyone ever question Nikola Pekovic as to why he has a crusader standing over a pile of skulls tattooed on his arm? I bet not. Would you? I definitely wouldn’t. If he even detected the slightest hint of criticism or disapproval he would probably yell “Advance upon Jaffa! Redeem Ascalon! Defeat the Muslim intruders!”…

Kyle Korver 28 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (12/18/2013)

Our Korver, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy shooting. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth, as it is in Philips Arena. Give us this day our daily three, and forgive us our bricks, as we forgive those who brick against us. And lead us not inside the arc, but deliver us…

Serge Ibaka 17 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2013)

Let’s play “guess who made the stupid tweet”! On today’s episode, you must figure out which NBA player tweeted the following inanity: “Somebody tell serg Abaka. He aint bout dis life. Next time he run up on me im goin in his mouth. That’s a promise. He doin 2 much.” Why would you ever make…

Nick Calathes 10 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2013)

This video is the reason this channel exists. So fans of Nick Calathes can witness Nick Calathes score points in an NBA game without actually having to slog through watching the putrid product the Grizzlies put on the floor. I don’t take donations, but if I did, I’d probably want about a buck from every…

Pau Gasol 21 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2013)

Remember last year when D’Antoni’s offensive scheme often called for Pau Gasol to stand the corner and shoot threes? That doesn’t happen anymore, thankfully, but Gasol is still unhappy with the way he’s being utilized. My professional opinion is that he’s taking too many jumpers. He can make them, but it’s not his most useful…

Jordan Hill 21 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2013)

Eight of eight from the field. A perfect field-goal shooting night. A truly miraculous occurrence. What constraint, what modesty, to not take shots that cannot be reasonably made. I cannot overemphasize the import of such a feat on the game of basketball. We have reached a new peak, a higher state, where field goals need…

Luis Scola 18 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2013)

Logging into his new, anonymous Wikipedia account, Luis glanced over his shoulders furtively. The librarians would certainly disapprove of his using the public computers for political purposes. But there were wrongs that needed to be righted, and Luis would be the one to right them. He navigated to Wikipedia’s entry on the Falkland Islands. The…
