Sam Mitchell: destroying Karl-Anthony Towns for his own perverse gain? Ha! You have been fooled by devious opening sentence. This is an instance of what is termed “clickbait”. I don’t really believe what I wrote, and I’m not even going to address it in the whole rest of this description. You might be angry, but…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 15 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2015)
Uh oh. When the commentators of the horrible team your team just lost to start wondering why your best player isn’t taking enough shots, then you know you have a problem. I’m talking, of course, about the Lakers and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Of course. Which player were you thinking of? Greg Monroe? You dummy. Greg Monroe…
Read MoreOmri Casspi 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/15/2015)
“You ask him,” whispered Darren Collison, shoving an envelope into Ben McLemore’s hands. Ben handed the envelope back to Darren as if it contained anthrax powdered. “No, you ask him.” “I said it first.” “Fine,” Ben snapped, grabbing the envelope and walking over to where Omri Casspi was sitting in front of his locker, perusing…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 23 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2015)
As the first day of drills wound down, Andrew decided that he was not quite having fun yet. The afternoon had been spent doing passes: chest passes, bounce passes, and passes off the dribble, both towards targets taped to the wall and to other campers. This was an area where Andrew was not significantly ahead…
Read MoreRandy Foye 19 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2015)
Note to self: never get hyped about a performance in progress. EVER. Randy Foye had 17 points in the second quarter tonight against the Timberwolves. Randy Foye. Seventeen. One quarter. He was telling the his former team “Why did you ever get rid of me I could be your starting shooting guard take a look…
Read MoreGary Neal 24 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2015)
Gary “Kobe 0.6” Neal is continuing to play well and continuing to make me look like a fool for hating on him constantly for the past four years. I could gloat over his career-low assist percentage, but it would feel a little petty given that he’s currently nailing 45% of his three-pointers, so there should…
Read MoreJ.J. Redick 24 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2015)
I don’t pay much attention to player tattoos, but has J.J. Redick always had that big Virgin Mary (or whatever it is) covering his whole left arm? I seem to remember him having some small amount of tattooage a few years ago, or maybe he didn’t, but I think my brain would definitely have some…
Read MoreJahlil Okafor 22 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2015)
Say what you will about Jahlil Okafor’s deficiencies in certain areas of the game, but damn, it’s fun to watch him get buckets. He might not be the most efficient at getting buckets, or have the best bucket-selection. Maybe he could get fewer buckets and work on passing. Three-point buckets are not a thing for…
Read MoreWill Barton 23 Points/1 Poster Dunk Full Highlights (12/14/2015)
Dunk of the year? Dunk of the year. Will Barton pretty much totally performed an exorcism Donatas Motiejunas, except instead of exorcising just the evil spirits he also took a huge chunk of his soul and little bits of his vital organs. It was kind of spooky watching D-Mo flop around for a bit after…
Read MoreKent Bazemore Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2015)
Highlight making is a weird business. As I was compiling these highlights, I noticed Gerald Green hitting a jumper in between two Kent Bazemore buckets. Problem was, despite doing a vid of Gerald just before starting this one, I had never seen that particular jumper before! I felt annoyed; reuploading a video to amend an…
