Tony Snell is why I have to stopped getting hyped about Summer League performances. I KNOW that they mean nothing, that any player with a smidgen of NBA talent can look really good, but I can’t help myself. I want to believe, I want players to be good, I want them to be good RIGHT…
Read MoreOmri Casspi Career High 36 Points/9 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
Omri Casspi reclined on his couch, tablet in hand, watching some trashy rom-com on Netflix, joined only by an empty carton that once contained General Tso’s chicken. He didn’t particularly care about the plot of the movie; there was a chick, there was a dude, and maybe, if he was lucky, they’d screw at the…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
You have been fooled again. One would think that people would have learned their lesson, that those burned once would be leery of being burned twice. It is perhaps even worse this time. When I purported to make highlights of Richaun Holmes scoring 11, it was at least within the realm of possibility that he…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 23 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
T.J. Warren: the new Khris Middleton? I’m just talking out of my butt here. I have no idea. Maybe? I’m making the comparison because they both have flat-looking jumpers. T.J. is the more natural scorer, I think. At least he was supposed to be, out of college. He needs to work on his already much-improved…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 17 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
Every time I watch Boban Marjanovic play it just blows my mind how much of him there is. Every aspect of him is huge. In a league where giants are the norm, he makes everyone he plays against look like a point guard. It’s insane. And when he went to give some dap to Kawhi…
Read MoreWayne Ellington 26 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
Wayne “Beefy W” Ellington has not been as advertised with the Brooklyn Nets. Not really a surprise; he’s not that good of a player even on his best days and in a perfect situation. The Nets had the right idea getting a 3-point chucking guard for cheap, but in their endless quagmire of suckiness, it…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 19 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2015)
Serge “Dirge” Ibaka: does he make the superstar duo of Durant and Westbrook into a “big three”? I’ve asked this before but the time is right to revisit the question. If we’re trying to make a big three out of the Thunder roster, there’s not many other candidates for the third player. Enes Kanter is…
Read MoreMeyers Leonard 16 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2015)
Take note, DeMarcus Cousins. This is the kind of player you become when you decide to play the stretch-five position. Reevaluate your motives and decide if Meyers Leonard is really who you want to become. Meyers transformed himself out of necessity; his job security in the NBA was low, and he did what he had…
Read MoreJoffrey Lauvergne Career High 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2015)
DownToBuck’s pet peeve of the day: when commentators say that a player has a season-high when they could say instead that the player has a career-high with the same amount of factual accuracy. When I saw Joffrey Lauvergne had 18 points, I immediately said to myself “yep, that right there is a career high for…
