Joe Johnson is now at the point in his career were he is widely beloved even if he kind of sucks. Did people simply forget how much they used to make fun of him for being an iso chucker and having a ridiculous (for the time) contract? He iso chucked his way to 20,000 points…

Michael Beasley 20 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
The Knicks are starting to fade after their (mainly Porzingis’ actually) hot start, so you know what I’m going to suggest. Michael Beasley. 40 minutes per game. Number 1b option on offense next to Porzingis. They can take turns chucking shots. I don’t feel any compelling need to let other people take shots. Would it…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 27 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
The good thing about having a big three (in this case, Khris Middleton, Giannis, and Bledsoe) is that sometimes one of the three can have not a great game and you can still win. Is that what Heat fans felt like? I think it is. The similarities are striking. We’ve got a LeBron (Giannis), and…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 20 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
So maybe DownToBuck was wrong this one time. After his rather disastrous rookie season, and an improved but still not overly impressive second season, I didn’t have high hopes for Terry “Midget Shooting Guard Who Can’t Shoot” Rozier going into his third season. But he proved me wrong and improved his three-point shooting to a…
Read MorePatty Mills 26 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2017)
Patty Mills was legitimately the second scoring option in the lineup that the Spurs trotted out last night. Kawhi didn’t play, and Pau Gasol is suffering from a serious case of the olds (0-of-4 in twelve minutes), so Mills is only behind Aldridge in terms of scoring potency. Those are the kinds of situations where…
Read MoreMarcin Gortat 21 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
“What you in for?” asked the gruff-looking man to his tall, Polish cellmate. “I offer a lady for a taste of my special Polish kielbasa, and she make big scene and call police,” Marcin Gortat answered with a shrug. “I know not what did I do wrong, but police arresting me, and now I here…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie Career High 26 Points/9 Assists/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
Out of all three of Spencer “Din-Dins” Dinwiddie’s career-high games (seriously, would it be so hard to score one more point?), this is the only one where the Nets won the game. And the win was directly caused by Din-Din’s heroic leaning jumpshot with ten seconds left right in the grill of Taj Gibson. I…
Read MoreDwight Powell Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
Dwight “Dwight Power” Powell seems like an ideal big man in today’s game: he can roll effectively to the basket to catch lobs, but he can also step out and hit jumpshots. There’s not a ton of players that can do both, and most coaches would enjoy having a player with that kind of versatility….
Read MoreTerrance Ferguson Career High 24 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
Andre Roberson is sitting in his hotel room right now surrounded by empty candy bar wrappers and empty tissue boxes, his eyes still red and sore from crying all night. When Roberson gets back from injury, he knows there will be no more minutes for him, because this 19-year-old rookie Terrance Ferguson (who skipped college…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 14 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
Do you think Mario Hezonja would punch his coach Frank Vogel in the penis if he knew that he could get away with it? Vogel, along with erstwhile head coach Scott Skiles, are the easiest culprits to blame for Hezonja’s lack of success in the NBA if you don’t want to blame Hezonja himself. Hezonja…
