I already talked about Quincy “Assy” Acy’s inability to make two-point field goals this season, but I’m looking at the stats again and it’s blowing my mind as hard as it did the first time so I think I have to bring it up again. After tonight, 38 threes made versus 11 twos. That’s insane…

Caris LeVert 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
OFFICIAL THINGS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN SO THAT CARIS LEVERT CAN GET 25 ASSISTS IN A GAME LIKE RAJON RONDO JUST DID POWER RANKINGS 1. Change nickname from “Baby Durant” to “Adult Rondo” 2. Petition NBA to change the length of the game to 100 minutes 3. Stop scoring 22 points 4. Stop shooting altogether…
Read MoreJarell Martin Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
Jarell Martin was almost the hero last game for the Grizzlies, executing a perfect putback slamblam with .6 seconds remaining to even the score. Then the Suns cheated and used a technicality to offensive goaltend a basket for themselves, and Martin’s heroics went largely unrecognized. It would be hard to say that he was the…
Read MoreTrey Lyles 23 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
Trey Lyles is good now? He sucked so bad last year that I thought this year was a mirage for a while, but now I can’t deny the truth: Trey Lyles is good now. How he became good is anybody’s guess, if you care, my guess is that he had a box containing his jumpshot…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 16 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
Bogdan Bogdanovic has now been fully unleashed in a way we had only seen tantalizing glimpses of: Point-Bogey! Is it any coincidince that this concept finally gets utilized and, in the very same game, the Kings stomp all over LeBrick Shames and the Cavaliers? Some credit has to go to Vince Carter and his turning…
Read MoreVince Carter 24 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
It was sad for me to see, but Vince Carter looked toast this season for the Kings. He had somehow located Juan Ponce de León’s long sought-after fountain of youth somewhere in the jungles of Mexico, and used to put together a nice season for the Grizzlies last year. But this year, it was all…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 22 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
The commentators mentioned something during this game that I hadn’t realized about Nikola Jokic, but totally matched up with what I’ve seen from him this year: he’s not taking as many of those short midrange push-shot things! We demand more push-shot things from short midrange! Instead, he’s taking a bunch of threes. He’s, dare I…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
I don’t understand why the 76ers felt the need to try and destroy Nik Stauskas’ career by not playing him at the beginning of the season. He’s not great or amazing or anything, but isn’t another shooter just the thing to put around Embiid and Simmons? And not just any shooter, but a young shooter,…

“Dear Santa, I know it’s the day after Christmas and that you want to be done giving out presents until next year, but I thought I would write this letter anyway. Santa, I don’t know if you forgot my address or what but I totally didn’t get any presents from you this year. If I…
Read MoreJamil Wilson 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/26/2017)
Usually, when a player scores fourteen or some other large amount in the first quarter of a game, I get unreasonably hyped and start expecting huge point totals, like fifty or more. However, that didn’t happen for me when Jamil Wilson scored fourteen points in the first quarter of this game. Don’t mourn for my…
