Cole Aldrich is the answer to the eternal question of “What would you get if you took Greg Stiemsma and made him better at basketball but not too much better?”. There are other questions that he is also the answer to; but none of those questions are as profound as this one. On an unrelated…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 15 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/16/2016)
When was the last time I did highlights of some guy getting a lot of assists and even one of the assists was good enough to have a replay shown of it? Ever? It doesn’t happen very often, that’s for certain. What if I told you that there were not just one, but THREE replays…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 18 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (1/16/2016)
How sad it must be for Rudy Gobert, once the darling of the NBA, to see these newcomers, this “Porzingis” and this “Towns”, receive the admiration that was previously reserved for himself. Do the fans not remember his acrobatic defense, punishing dunks, and cheeky salutes? Or do they remember, but no longer care?
Read MoreKristaps Porzingis 17 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2016)
This might be one of Kristaps Porzingis’ best performances this year, not in terms of raw stats, but in terms of aesthetics. For the linguistically challenged among us, “aesthetics” is a fancy term for when something looks good. Like that chick at Starbucks who you’re too much of a pussy to go talk to. An…
Read MoreJahlil Okafor 25 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2016)
When I saw that Jahlil Okafor had 17 points in the first quarter, the first thing I thought was “Wilt’s record is SCREWED!”. I started playing it out in my head: 94, 96, 98… Jahlil cannot be stopped, the crowd is delirious, he scores bucket after bucket, jumpers, hooks, slams, his teammates feeding him on…
Read MoreDarrell Arthur 18 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2016)
When I saw the Nuggets were beating the Heat by sixteen at the half, I thought to myself “makes sense since the Heat suck now, good job Nuggets,” and then moved on with my life. Imagine my surprise when I saw that the Nuggets had lost by three! I didn’t have a drink in my…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 26 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2016)
I fear I may have saturated the market for Khris Middleton videos. Nobody watches them anymore even though he’s making a compelling case for being a top five SG in the league. It’s like people don’t even realize that when you click on a Khris Middleton video, you’re going to get a whole bunch of…
Read MoreDion Waiters 20 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2016)
If you’re watching this video because you want to see ill-advised stepback twenty-footers, I recommend that you look elsewhere, because this video only has one such shot. However, if you’re watching this video because you want to see ill-advised drives to the hoop punctuated by yelled “and-ONE!”s, then this is the video for you, my…
Read MoreDeJuan Blair 12 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2016)
DeJuan “No ACLs” Blair was pretty much written off by yours truly around the halfway point of last season. I actually went back through my notes from that time and it turns out that I actually wrote down the words “That’s it for DeJuan Blair. He has no knees.” This scrawled sentence was located in…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 25 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2016)
Nicolas Batum stepped out of the Barcelona airport with a single goal in mind. The address of his target had already been acquired. He hailed a taxi, and when he slipped into the backseat of the cab, he handed the driver a small slip of paper with the address written on it. Nic was not…
