I like Jonas Valanciunas. I think it’s because he can make free throws. There is no excuse for an NBA player not to be able to shoot them, but bigmen especially often have a bad time with them. So it’s nice to see an otherwise raw center come into the league with NBA-caliber abilities at…

Daequan Cook 19 Points (and a dunk) Full Highlights (2/7/2013)
Okay, this is weird. Coach Thibodeau is well-known for not utilizing his bench players effectively, and Daequan Cook is one of the victims of Thiobdeau’s schemes. But in this blowout loss against the Nuggets, Rip Hamilton only played 17 minutes, and with Marco Belinelli not playing, Mr. Third-Stringer actually got to play meaningful minutes for…
Read MoreDanny Green Career High 28 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (2/6/2013)
Would Danny Green look as good as he does on the Spurs with any other team. Probably not. The Spurs have a way of making role-players look like, um, not role-players. Like Danny Green. He really can’t do much besides get to open spots and shoot threes. But the Spurs don’t need him to do…
Read MoreDion Waiters 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/6/2013)
Dion Waiters is the next Dwyane Wade. That is all.
Read MoreHarrison Barnes 19 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2013)
So, Harrison Barnes scored 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting. That’s good. He also made three out of four attempts from the Goodwill stripe. That’s good. The bad: his statline was otherwise completely empty – except for a lone steal which came with less than second left in the first half. No rebounds. No assists. No…
Read MoreArnett Moultrie Career High 12 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2013)
Arnett Moultrie did not score a career high 12 points tonight. In fact, there is no such NBA player as “Arnett Moultrie”. He is entirely a figment of my imagination. I wanted to see if you would watch this video anyway. Maybe you were thinking “Oh man, I was dying to see some Arnett Moultrie…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 20 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/6/2013)
Trevor Ariza is a wildly inefficient player. 43% shooting, 32% from three and 68% from the line. Those are his career numbers. Remember, this guy is 6-8. He reeks of a player who loves his jumper too much. The only reason anyone has ever thought he was good is because of that one year where…
Read MoreKendall Marshall 11 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (2/5/2013)
Why don’t the Suns ever play Kendall Marshall? Yeah, we get it, you’re still sore over not having Steve Nash anymore, but you don’t need to take it out on this poor rookie. Nothing you do will ever bring Nash back. He’s a Laker now. He will retire as a Laker. And all you have…
Read MoreJohan Petro 10 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2013)
I don’t even really need to write a description for this one. No one’s going to watch it. Does anyone even realize that Johan Petro is still in the league? So if you’re watching this, sorry, I think you might be the only one. Hope you like it.
Read MoreJerryd Bayless 29 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2013)
What are the Grizzlies doing? They parlayed Rudy Gay into some decent players, okay, that’s fine, his contract sucked. The real head-scratcher is trading three decent players for a scrubbity scrubster (#FreeJonLeuer). I get that’s they want to be underneath the salary cap. But it seems like they’re being a little hasty in tearing apart…
