For players other than DeAndre Jordan, 24 rebounds is a heck of a lot. 0 blocks, on the other hand, is not very many for anybody except JJ Barea. Rudy Gobert has been building up to performances like this for a while. It took Enes Kanter getting packed up in a shipping crate and sent…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 23 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2015)
It’s weird that Nikola Mirotic hasn’t been getting a ton of minutes, considering his coach is Tom Thibodeau, he who runs his players into the ground. What’s the deal here? Usually when Thibs finds a player that he likes, he gives said player 40 minutes a game until they get injured. We could be talking…
Read MoreZach LaVine 14 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (3/2/2015)
Zach LaVine and Ricky Rubio: bros for life? After investigating thoroughly the thumbnail image for this video, I believe so. Look at how broey they are. Ricky’s like “Hey Zach are we gonna be bros forever?” and Zach is all exasperated like “Yeah man of course we are gonna be bros forever that’s why we…
Read MoreNerlens Noel 17 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (3/2/2015)
Nerlens “Knurly” Noel has been as advertised in his rookie season. He dunks. He blocks. He jumps around like he’s made out of pogo sticks. This is good. It reinforces confidence in the ability of NBA teams to scout draft prospects. If he came in and performed sick crossovers leading to three pointers while playing…
Read MoreNorris Cole 19 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2015)
Okay, maybe I’m showing off my ignorance here, but I really need somebody to explain something to me. What’s up with the little “swoop” cuts that people put into their hair these days? The first time I saw one I thought somebody had just gotten distracted while using their trimmer, but as I saw it…
Read MoreHassan Whiteside 17 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2015)
I don’t blame Alex Len at all. If I was getting dunked on time after time with no end in sight, it would take a lot less than an errant arm to the head before I started getting violent with people. I would be shoving and swearing the first time somebody grazed me with their…
Read MoreTyler Johnson Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2015)
The Tyler Johnson era is not over yet! I incorrectly declared it such in an earlier video, right after Goran Dragic got signed, a signing that would seem to spell doom for Tyler and his minutes. I am happy to be wrong, in this case; this dude is a really rad player who gives hope…
Read MoreAmar’e Stoudemire 14 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2015)
Amar’e Stoudemire: -14 in 22 minutes, scoring 14 points. Bernard James +23 in 25 minutes, scoring 0 points. Yes, I understand the folly of using plus-minus for analyzing a single game. But it still illustrates a point: Stoudemire probably doesn’t make any team better at this point in his career. He can still dunk, in…
Read MoreRicky Rubio Triple Double 18 Pts/11 Asts/12 Rebs Full Highlights (3/2/2015)
“Hey Ricky, great game tonight, made me really feel like I was playin’ with Marbury again, ‘cept of course he ain’t never pass me the ball, and I ain’t know if he ever got a triple-double.” Kevin Garnett walked up to his point guard, hands behind his back. Ricky Rubio turned to face the veteran…
Read MoreAndrew Bogut 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/2/2015)
I haven’t been watching every game for the Warriors this year, but it seems Bogut is still doing what he has always done, since he was a rookie in Milwaukee. Having pube games. Named for his puby facial growth, a “pube game” is a contest where Bogut does not display full effort, looking lazy and…
