I basically ignored Victor Oladipo all of last year. I don’t even know why, because it’s not like he was playing super great or anything. Maybe I overreacted to him being the second best player on a popular team? Or because I thought he was supposed to be better than he was and I made…

Lauri Markkanen 13 Points Full Highlights (10/21/2017)
How many times do you think Lauri “Mämmi” Markkanen has been compared to Kristaps Porzingis? I’m not just talking about on YouTube, or on the internet, but every single time, real or digital, that people have said about Markkanen “hey that dude kinda reminds of that Porzingis fellow on the Knicks”. Is it a thousand?…
Read MoreJonathon Simmons 19 Points Full Highlights (10/21/2017)
The Magic have been cycling through lineups of uninspiring role-players for a couple years now. Every year, it seems like they could maybe be good, but every year, they’re not. The Detroit Pistons model of winning a chip was a lofty goal, but a Atlanta Hawks-style consistent playoff team shouldn’t have been to hard, right?…
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 18 Points Full Highlights (10/21/2017)
Attention fanbases other than the Kings’: this is what happens when you have a roster that is almost entirely composed of “potential” and “excitement”. You may think that that is what you want, but you often end up with a team that scores 79 only because they kind of went off in the fourth quarter,…
Read MoreTobias Harris 31 Points Full Highlights (10/21/2017)
You know, it took me a few years, but I had finally gotten over my infatuation and accepted that Tobias Harris was just a guy. Not any special type of player, just a decent scorer and much else. I was, finally, at peace with the Bucks trading him for Gustavo Ayon. A bad deal for…

BEN SIMMONS JUMPSHOT ALERT! BEN SIMMONS JUMPSHOT ALERT! BEN SIMMONS HAS MADE A JUMPSHOT! ALERT ALERT ALERT THIS IS NOT A TEST THIS IS NOT A DRILL BEN SIMMONS JUMPSHOT ALERT If I had an onomatopoeia for a klaxon noise, I would put it here as well. Because I have a special klaxon next to…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
At the end of last season, Spencer “Din-Dins” Dinwiddie showed us something. Not only did he show us that a player with a 70’s-era fro/moustache combo can look cool in the 2010’s, he showed us that he has a little bit of game as a tall, rangy point guard who can shoot and pass. Now,…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 21 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
Right now I don’t even know who the second option on the Hornets is. Obviously the first option is Kemba “Brandon Jennings 3.0/Damian Lillard 0.8” Walker. But after that the heirarchy of the team is all confused. I suppose under normal circumstances the second option might be Nic Batum, but he’s dead for the time…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 25 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
“Hey Rookie.” John Collins looked up to find his teammate Dennis Schröder standing in front of him. “Hey Dennis. Do you need me to get more donuts for the team?” he joked. Dennis did not laugh. “I have something serious to discuss with you. Something much more serious than requesting another errand of you.” John…
Read MoreMike James 13 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
If Tyler Ulis doesn’t watch out, Mike James will take the title of “best midget point guard on the Suns” for himself. After scoring twelve points in ten minutes in the Suns’ disastrous opener, he was rewarded with 12 additional minutes of action, and scored exactly one more point. This is something called “progress”; you,…
