Tony Snell was a beast in Summer-League. A near-unstoppable three-point machine, a machine lacking his signature hair but maintaining his incredible blackness. The promise shown over the summer has not carried over to the regular season, where teams play defense and games sometimes mean something. I know it’s become cliche to do this, but I…
Read MoreRobert Covington 22 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2015)
Robert Covington: the only good offensive player on the 76ers? You might be able to argue Michael Carter-Williams. Other than him, there is no one else who can actually put the orange into the actual bucket. Philadelphia’s roster constructions looks worse for not having Embiid and Saric this year, but it is still horrible. Covington…
Read MoreJorge Gutierrez Career High 13 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2015)
I don’t know…should I put “Career High” in the title or nah? It’s hard to say if Gutti Mane has a future with the Bucks, and if he doesn’t make it with them, there’s no guarantee that another team gives him a chance. Since he’s 26, he’s not really an “upside” guy anymore, so the…
Read MoreTyler Johnson 18 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2015)
The blown layup is every NBA player’s worst nightmare. An uncontested bunny right at the rim is the easiest shot in the game, so easy that kids on their first day of basketball camp hit at least 50% of them. We can now add Tyler Johnson to the list of players who have missed a…
Read MoreMarcus Morris Career High 34 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2015)
Alright, here’s the deal: Last time I did Marcus Morris highlights I wrote a story where our hero finds himself trapped in a Fulton Homes (the people who sponsor every god-damn three the Suns make) home with no prospect for escape. It was pretty clever, if I do say so myself. It would only make…
Read MoreTobias Harris 34 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2015)
So the Magic have fired Jacque-off Vaughn. Finally. It means I never get to use that clever nickname again, but I’m fine with that. Now Tobias Harris will finally be freed! Right? This game was the proof! 34 points with a new coach who recognizes his unique scoring abilities! Don’t get too excited. The Magic…
Read MoreRyan Kelly 20 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/6/2015)
R. Kelly does not get enough credit around these parts. What’s the deal here? He has single-handedly revolutionized the R&B as well as Hip Hop scenes. The record sales speak for themselves; the general public indeed recognizes his true genius. However, the music punditry seem to have nothing but bad things to say about him,…
Read MorePaul Pierce 19 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2015)
How much longer can this old dude possibly go on? I thought Pierce was starting to look a little done when he was with Brooklyn, but that could have been a product of being surrounded by done Kevin Garnett, done Joe Johnson, and done Deron Williams. Now he looks like his old self, except that…
Read MoreGerald Henderson 27 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2015)
Gerald Henderson is what would happen if you took a player to one of those advanced stats summits, and implanted a device in his ear that replaced every occurrence of the term “three-pointer” and changed it to “long two”. That’s his game. That’s how he scores. He has shown the ability to shoot and make…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 14 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/4/2015)
Jusuf Nurkic looked down at the hammer in his hands. In front of him was an immense anvil. “Is this a dream?” he wondered, casting his eyes around his surroundings. He seemed to be floating in some kind of void; there was no ceiling, no floor, no wall. In the distance he could see specks…
