I’m not going to sit here and pretend I knew anything before this game about Troy Daniels, other than that he was recently signed by the Rockets. Hardly anyone did. Maniac alumni of the college he went to, probably. And Rockets fans who are so invested in their team that they even follow the Rockets’…

Jonas Valanciunas Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2014)
Jonas Valanciunas was doing what he did almost every off-night: Sitting in front of his TV encased in a cocoon of blanket-and-cushion construction, with his coffee table littered with snacks and beverages of the alcoholic type. Tonight was the big game, and he was watching with intentness, though not much happiness. “Are you serious? Are…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 19 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2014)
Derrick Favors does not abide by the nickname “Faves” or “D. Faves”. I asked him about it on Twitter and he says he prefers “Flava Fave” so that’s what we’re going with. I would tell Matt Harpring to stop using his dumb made-up nickname but I hate Matt Harpring so much that the mere thought…
Read MoreTravis Outlaw 24 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2014)
You sit at your computer, slumped down in the seat as you browse espn.com for the 5th time. In your hand is a can of Milwaukee’s Best. Your mom always told you 11 is too early to start drinking, but what did she know. She’s gone now. They’re all gone. There is nothing on espn.com…
Read MoreIsaiah Canaan 15 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (4/8/2014)
Canaansanity is officially in full effect. Officially. This isn’t just some dude on the internet making up stupid words and making sweeping declarations. This is official. With two 15-point games in a row, what’s happening now can’t be anything but. How official? Two words: Adam Silver. He’s been wanting a little more hype in Houston…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/8/2014)
For someone who is as good a free throw shooter as Ricky Rubio is, you’d think he’d be a little better at shooting jumpers. But it seems like every time it comes down to it in a game, his meticulously practiced form goes to hell and he just shoots it however. It could be a…
Read MoreMatt Bonner 11 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2014)
This is a different kind of Matt Bonner highlights video. Not of the usual “he makes a bunch of threes while looking like a doofus” variety. A bold new paradigm of audiovisual Red Rocket enjoyment. Yes, you inferred correctly. In this video, Matt Bonner attempts and converts a few shots at or around the rim….
Read MoreJames Johnson 20 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2014)
James Johnson has become my all-time favorite player. There is no NBA player, past or present, who can sniff the jock of my new lord and savior James Johnson. This may seem odd to you, but I can assure you that I am of rational mind and that my reasoning is perfectly sound. Such reasoning…
Read MoreKawhi Leonard Career High 26 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/6/2014)
A travesty is being perpetrated that has gone unnoticed. NBA fans across the world are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs. We don’t get to see how good Kawhi Leonard would be if he weren’t on a team with so many good players. I want to know how much more above 20 points he…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 14 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2014)
Austin Rivers has shown decent improvement after his disastrous rookie campaign. This is good. It’s expected that a rookie will improve, but for someone who played as Rivers did last year it’s not a given. He’s still not very good at all, and New Orleans picking him at 10 is still a glaring mistake. His…
