So when did Marc Gasol become a better player than his brother Pau? It was probably around the time when D’Antoni tried to turn Pau into a three-point specialist and Dwight Howard started stealing all his rebounds while Marc turned into a master of turnaround J’s. Marc also has complete use of both of his…

Andre Miller 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/5/2013)
Andre Miller is the best in the league, other than maybe Chris Paul, at throwing lobs for alley-oop slammy whammies. It helps to have athletic freaks like McGee and Faried on your team, but he can throw oops to pretty much anyone who can dunk. It’s just one side of his multi-faceted game. Other sides…
Read MoreDanilo Gallinari 23 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2013)
Danilo Gallinari is a really impressive player. He could very easily be a total chucker. He’s 6′ 10”, and has a sweet jumper. He can get that thing off whenever he wants. If I were him I would never stop shooting. But he is restrained in his shot selection, instead playing with the team and…
Read MoreAlec Burks 19 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2013)
The Jazz backcourt was really bad last night. Foye and Watson combined for 0 points on 10 shots. Gordon Hayward was 3 of 16. But Alec Burks was actually good! He really should be starting. Or at least getting more minutes. No one wants to see ancient veterans struggle while prime young talent sits on…

Hey J.J. I know you’re reading this man. I need you to Fedex me a whole box of bratwurst (Klement’s please, none of this Johnsonville crap, I have standards). Nestled among the wieners should be a vial containing a few of your hairs. I intend to conduct an experiment on the genetics of jump-shooting, but…

Tobes! Tobes come back! Don’t you like Milwaukee? 🙁
Read MoreMeyers Leonard Career High 15 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2013)
I have a favorable impression of Meyers Leonard. I don’t know why. I watch a lot of Portland games, but it never seems that he plays very much? Maybe it’s because he’s white. Yeah, that’s it. I must be a racist or something. Anyway, given my high opinion of him, it surprised me that 15…
Read MoreLuke Walton 2 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2013)
In a previous description I wrote these words: “Luke Walton is the worst player currently in the league, and any team with him on it is damned. Damned I tell you.” I guess I have to revise that statement. Because would the worst player in the league be only 8 points and 10 rebounds shy…
Read MoreManu Ginobili 17 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2012)
“That was a good game,” Manu thought, as he walked to his car in the parking lot. “I scored a lot of points. Seventeen in the first half, wow! But I could really use a good steak right now.” He pulled out his phone, intending to call Frederico, his personal assistant and chef. “Mew! Mew!”…
Read MoreAron Baynes 7 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2013)
It looks like Aron Baynes has been taking notes from Tim Duncan. In fact I snuck into the Spur’s locker room and stole his notebook. One of the pages has this written on it: “Shoot jumpers off glass? Timmy does it all the time. Remember to practice tomorrow.” The rest of the pages just contained…
