Here’s an interesting stat that the Warriors commentators brought up during last night’s Warriors-Wolves game: both Chase Budinger and Kevin Love have only appeared in 18 games this season. One of them got legitimately injured in a game, and the other purposely broke his hand doing knuckle pushups so he could lower his value and…

Tyler Zeller 18 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2013)
It’s sometimes really hard to tell if a team is tanking or just really bad. Like the Cavaliers. They just gave up a 20 point lead with 8 minutes in the game and lost. That’s a telltale sign that a team is tanking: losing huge leads. But it’s not out of the realm of possibility…
Read MoreNick Young 18 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2013)
Nick Young is a horrible chucker (screw you Firefox spell check chucker is totally a word, here I even looked up the definition “A bowler whose arm action is illegal”. Huh). He is Kobe, if Kobe had his playmaking ability along with almost everything else taken away and was left only with the ability to…
Read MoreJimmy Butler Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2013)
The phone rang. “Hello, this is Jimmy speaking, how can I…” “Jimmy, you’ve got to go! GO! Right now. They’ve found me, I don’t know how, but they’re coming for you next! I can hear them coming! Run! AAAUUGGHH!” Jimmy could hear the muffled sounds of gunshots through the phone. He ended the call and…

Read MoreNikola Vucevic 21 Points/21 Rebounds Full Highlights (4/7/2013)
Is Nikola Vucevic the best Montenegrin basketball player ever? No, that’s Nikola Pekovic. And even if Pekovic had never been born, Vucevic doesn’t count because his Wikipedia page says he was born in Switzerland. So is Vucevic the best Swiss basketball player ever? His only competition is Thabo Sefolosha and Enes Kanter. Wait. Enes Kanter…
Read MoreJonas Jerebko 17 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2013)
The Detroit Pistons are bad. Not only are they bad, they also don’t really have a surfeit of young talent ready to rise up and make them good again. Unless you consider Jonas Jerebko “young” and “talented”. Which I guess he is. Kind of. But is he really the guy you build around for future…
Read MoreQuincy Pondexter 17 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (4/7/2013)
I don’t have anything to say about Quincy Pondexter. So I used my connections and scored some interviews with his Memphis teammates. I told them, “tell me about Quincy Pondexter.” Austin Daye: “Man, Q works so hard for us each day, he’s such a hard worker, he always gives 100% man.” Zach Randolph: “I don’t…
Read MoreJimmer Fredette 13 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2013)
I’m just gonna put this out there, don’t hate or anything I only speak the truth. Jimmer Fredette isn’t very good. He just isn’t. You can blame the coaching in Sacramento all you want, but the fact remains that he can barely get minutes on a horrible, no defense team. I agree with the idea…
Read MoreBrandon Bass 20 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2013)
There a lot of players in the NBA who can really only do one thing well. Defense, rebounding, setting screens, drawing fouls. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a well-rounded game, or even a semi-rounded game. Like Brandon Bass. He has one skill, and one skill only. Shooting mid-range jumpers. Not a bad skill…
