“Hey Tayshaun, we need to talk.” It was Mike Conley. “Why don’t you come with me to the weight room.” Tayshaun drained a last three-pointer before following Mike out of the gym. He walked into the weight room and saw Austin Daye sitting on the bench press, with the rest of his new Grizzlies teammates…

Andre Iguodala 24 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2013)
The Denver Nuggets are located in the “Mile High City”, and they’re called the “Nuggets”. Is it a coincidence that marijuana is now legal in the state of Colorado? Yes. “Nuggets” refers to Colorado’s gold-mining past, not the nuggets of primo sticky icky which are available in every pharmacy and grocery store. “Mile High” refers…
Read MoreKyle Singler Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2013)
I can’t believe what just happened! I guess I’d better tell you the story. Better get out your tissues. So I’m with my girl on a romantic date at the local Applebee’s. She’s gossiping about some girl crap I don’t even know, and, you know, I’m not really paying attention. So I take out my…
Read MoreRudy Gay 20 Points (Raptors Debut) Full Highlights (2/1/2013)
Rudy “Not This Guy” Gay has been having a pretty crappy season so far. That, combined with his ludicrous contract, would seem to make him an undesirable player to acquire. Tell that to Bryan Colangelo, who happily sent out Jose Calderon and Ed Davis for him. So by next year two-thirds of their cap will…
Read MoreKawhi Leonard 18 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2013)
He trudged endlessly through the Tibetan snowscape. There was no sound but for the crunch of his footfalls. Would he find enlightenment here? He had sought the guru for days, having been told by Euroleague players that the guru would make himself apparent after the proper mindset had been attained. But Kawhi was already pretty…
Read MoreAron Baynes 7 Points/1 Block Full Highlights (1/30/2013)
Here’s something crazy. Let’s assign a number value to each letter A=1,…, Z=26. Look at the initials of the name Aron Baynes. AB. 1 + 2. That makes three. Now count up the number of letters in his name. 10. Subtract the two numbers. 10 – 3 = 7. Which is the number of points…
Read MoreLavoy Allen 14 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2013)
When you think of Lavoy Allen (which, granted, probably isn’t very often, but bear with me on this), which NBA great does he remind you of? Hakeem Olajuwon? Sam Bowie? Brad Lohaus? Patrick Ewing? No. You should be thinking of Otis Thorpe. The similarities are eerie. They are both tall black men who play in…
Read MoreSamuel Dalembert 12 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/29/2013)
Samuel “Fatty D” Dalembert is pretty worthless these days. He is a horrible help defender and he thinks he’s KG or something with all the jumpers he takes. But he does still have some useful traits, like being freakishly tall and still being ambulant. And he can dunk. That’s pretty cool. In conclusion: Samuel Dalembert…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 30 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2013)
Brandon “Baddy Chuck” Jennings will never be an All-Star. All-Stars don’t shoot 40% from the field unless they’re named Allen Iverson. Too bad, because the All-Star game’s “run and chuck” mode of play is perfectly suited to what Jennings likes to do on the court, which is run around really fast and chuck bad shots….
Read MoreKlay Thompson Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2013)
Klay Thompson is an integral part of a major discussion in today’s NBA. Race. More specifically, is Klay Thompson a white dude or a black dude. Or something else? I don’t know, man. He LOOKS white. Really white. He even has a Jew-looking nose. But his dad Mychal Thompson was definitely a black dude. So…
