Jerryd Bayless has not been everything Celtics fans hoped for when they traded Courtney Lee for him. He’s had some okay games, sure, but for the most part he hasn’t provided the scoring punch that the Celtics desired. Maybe he just needs to start. Tonight was his first start as a Celtic, and he took…

Archie Goodwin Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2014)
Archie Goodwin is an unknown for me. I don’t think I’ve watched him play at all this year until now. So rather than insulting your intelligence by drawing conclusions on his game based on stats, I will simply refrain from mentioning anything other than what he did this game. He can dunk. And shoot threes….
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 22 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/25/2014)
Trevor Ariza is having a career year in terms of not sucking. His three-point shooting, which was absent at the beginning of his career and iffy more recently, has been very good this year. Is this just a case of a guy taking a decade to figure it out, or are there other factors at…
Read MoreJordan Hamilton Rockets Debut 12 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2014)
I can’t blame Rockets fans for wanting to get excited about their new acquisition, but the fact of the matter is that Jordan Hamilton is probably a below-average role player at this point in his career. Here’s a list of things he won’t be giving you: -10 points per game -Savvy playmaking ability -Veteran leadership…
Read MoreKent Bazemore Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2014)
Kent Bazemore is the luckiest guy on Earth. Well, maybe not the luckiest. I’m using an advanced literary device called “hyperbole”. Obviously there are lots of people who are luckier. Like lottery winners and people with big muscles. Anyway, Kent Bazemore is one fortuitous dude. He was getting almost no time with the Warriors, and…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2014)
Shabazz Muhammad sat sullenly in his posh Minneapolis condo. He was bored. He had already maxed out his NBA 2K14 MyPlayer, and he had no other games for his console. He hadn’t anticipated needing any others. The flat-screen TV had already been exhaustively searched for quality programming and was currently off. Hundreds upon hundreds of…
Read MoreMaurice Harkless 22 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2014)
The Orlando Magic have been disappointing. At least, I thought they would be better. I’m sure their fans are happy to get a top pick in this stacked draft and are not disappointed at all. But it must be a little concerning for them that none of their young talent has gotten appreciably better from…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/24/2014)
If I was Derrick Favors, I would just stop playing basketball. I would drop absolutely everything and invest every ounce of my energy into a new business venture: A line of cookbooks called “Flavors of Favors”. Trying to think of how many cookbooks Derrick would sell makes my head ache. If I were an overworked…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 20 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2014)
So apparently Ersan Ilyasova wanted to be traded before the deadline. That didn’t happen, obviously, because here he is, still in Milwaukee. I get where he’s coming from though. He doesn’t want to waste his prime years on a team that’s rebuilding. Totally understandable. But at the same team you don’t really get to request…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 13 Points/4 Assists/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/24/2014)
Giannis Antetokounmpo has some of the highest potential in the league. For having cool nicknames. “Greek Freak” is lame and has slight negative connotations. There are lots of better possibilities. “Greeced Lightning” plays up his heritage and takes note of his body which looks like a bunch of lightning bolts zigzagging all over the place….
