Maarreesse Speights has always been kind of a middling NBA player. Actually he still is. However, he knows his role, and that allows him to play efficiently in the minutes he gets. He knows that he should never ever take three-pointers. That shows maturity and knowledge of one’s own limitations. Wait, my phone’s ringing, I…

Jared Sullinger 12 Points/11 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/17/2012)
The last time Jared Sullinger had a game this good he was still playing for Ohio State. In fact, he’s probably the best player ever to come out of that prestigious university. What did you say? Could you repeat that? John…. what? Have-lee-check? Never heard of him. Anyway, he probably never put up 12 and…
Read MoreDeJuan Blair 19 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2012)
Last night I asked Coach Popovich after the game if he was happy with DeJaun Blair’s performance. “Happy? Happy isn’t a word I think about in my life. I’m never happy. Basketball isn’t about being happy. Every moment I live on this earth is a single condensed instant of pure misery and anguish. DeJuan might…
Read MoreAlexey Shved 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/17/2012)
If you have been on the YouTubes recently you may have seen a compilation of crazy Russian drivers. Alexey Shved had some crazy drives of his own, penetrating the porous Warrior defense at will, scoring or passing as the fancy suited him. All in all, a very nice performance by the Russkie, although not as…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 23 points vs. Warriors Full Highlights (11/16/2012)
Is there any fate more terrible than being a tweener forward in the NBA? Combo guards are sought-after commodities. Power forward/center types are valued for their versatility. But, as every NBA fan can attest to, tweener forwards just plain suck. They can’t bang with PF’s, but they’re too slow to be SF’s. Everything they do…
Read MoreKyle Korver 22 points/5 threes Full Highlights (11/16/2012) (Also Kyle Korver dunks in this one)
Today’s Fun Factoid: Kyle Korver’s high school class voted him “Most Likely to Look Like Ashton Kutcher”. I vote him “Most Likely to Make it Rain from Downtown”, and after you watch this video you will cast a similar vote. Korveman is also the second least dunk-prone player in the NBA (first place belonging to…
Read MoreJason Thompson 19 Points/10 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/16/2012)
Jason “Always Comes Out On Thomp” Thompson has the misfortune of playing for one of the most disorganized franchises in the NBA, the Virginia Bea – sorry, the Sacramento Kings. It looks like they suck this year as well, despite tanking hard for good draft position last season (does Thomas Robinson even play? Jimmer who?),…
Read MoreSam Young 14 Points vs Mavs Full Highlights (11/16/2012)
“Dear Diary, today was a great day! Coach Vogel said I played real well! I shot the ball 11 times and made 6 of them. That’s pretty good for me, maybe here in Indianapolis people will like me better than they did in Philthydelphia. And after the game me and Gerald went to the bar…
Read MoreRaymond Felton 25 Points vs Spurs Full Highlights (11/15/2012)
Raymond “Fatty” Felton was chased out of Portland by a torch and pitchfork wielding mob. Has he fared better in New York? Well, so far he has, and in this game he drops 25 points and 7 assists on the befuddled Spurs. Sources tell me that after the game he joined Rasheed for some celebratory…
Read MoreJohn Henson 10 points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/14/2012)
Ten points and two blocks in less than eight minutes. Sounds like an end-of-bench player got let loose in the fourth quarter again! What we see here is John Henson exerting his style all over the scrubtastic Pacer’s cleanup crew, heaving the rock eight times (connecting with net five times) and imposing his will on…
