Philadelphia 76ers: winners of five of the last six. Do I have to take back all the mean things I said about them earlier? Their offense still is in the works (they don’t usually score very much in their wins) but their defense has been legit for a while now. Nobody would rank them the…

Kelly Olynyk 26 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
Kelly, I know you’re reading this, and from one bro to another, you need to lop that ugly-ass beard right off your face. Just take a pair of kitchen shears and go to town. You can clean up the rest later. But that thing needs to go. Urgently. I speak from experience, Kelly. I, wishing…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 30 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
Nikola has just put up, again, a very “Vucevic-esque” statline. I might even have to start calling performances like this a “Vucevic”. 30 points on 13 of 18 shooting, a handful of free throws, no threes, no dunks, only a few layups. The “no dunks” part is important, as is the “few layups” part. A…
Read MoreKyle Korver 18 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
I don’t know what to think about the Cavaliers acquiring Kyle Korver. On one hand, it’s the Cavs, and it’s Kyle Korver. On the other hand, it’s the CAVS, and it’s KYLE KORVER. I’m so conflicted. Is Korver even good anymore? His first two games with his new team were pretty bad, but this one…
Read MoreTony Allen 22 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
Does Tony Allen being horrible on offense make him more or less likely to trash talk the good offensive player James Harden after scoring on him? Does Tony Allen being excellent on defense make him more or less likely to trash talk the bad defensive player James Harden after scoring on him? “God-damn wrecked you…
Read MoreLuke Babbitt 16 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
Call me an optimist, but I really, truly, and without sarcasm, thought that Luke Babbitt would be a factor for the Heat is this year. An offensive factor. A 10 ppg factor. The Heat needed shooting, so they went out and got a guy who can shoot. A guy who would be in line for…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 14 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
Do not be fooled by the “14 Assists” part of the video title. They’re great assists, don’t get me wrong. He’d probably still have 10 of them if this was a FIBA game, that’s how good they are. But they aren’t the best part of the video. No, that honor goes to the FOUR (4)…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 23 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
Admit it. You are not very hyped for this video. Any hype you may hold for Bojan Bogdanovic is solely because of his country of origin. The way he plays the game of basketball, though, evokes in you no strong passion, no overwhelming desire to see more. You’ve already seen him do the things he…
Read MoreCristiano Felicio 13 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2017)
Cristiano “The Brazilian Shaq” Felicio: ready for more minutes? He was relatively effective against the Knicks, playing 25 minutes and scoring thirteen points. He only grabbed five rebounds (I bet Taj Gibson was stealing his rebounds) but he didn’t accumulate any of the “bad” stats (turnovers or personal fouls). I thought conditioning might be an…
Read MoreTerrence Jones 24 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2017)
If Terrence Jones could hit his free throws, he would have had thirty instead of just twenty-four. But he had to go 3-of-9 from the welfare stripe, so instead of the narrative being “young player with potential is finally breaking out”, the narrative is just…nothing. There is no Terrence Jones narrative after this game. 24-point…
