Wow, uh, five blocks for Nikola Mirotic? Was that what Bulls fans thought they were getting when he came over from Spain? Elite shot blocking capabilities? Because that’s what they’re getting. Sign him up for the “dudes who will get a 5×5” waiting list, right behind Giannis and James Johnson. It’s only a matter of…
Read MoreRyan Hollins 15 Points? Full Highlights (11/28/2014)
Time for a thought exercise! Close your eyes and imagine JaVale McGee of the Denver Nuggets. If you are having troubles visualizing this, watch some highlights/lowlights on YouTube to aid in the conjuring. Also if you could stop thinking about tits for even a minute that would be great. Okay! We’ve got JaVale firmly in…
Read MoreJared Sullinger 23 Points Full Highlights (11/28/2014)
The “try to turn Jared Sullinger into a strech-four” experiment is not yet paying dividends for the Celtics. He continues to take lots of threes, and continues to not make a good percentage of them. Can’t blame his coaches for trying. Big men who can shoot threes are valuable; if Sullynyk could get consistent behind…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 21 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2014)
Only a few more games left before we get to watch Durant and Westbrook save the Thunder’s season. Hallelujah! I’m tired of watching Reggie Jackson chuck his way to a big contract and Jeremy Lamb fail to live up to the lofty expectations placed on him by homer Thunder fans. Expectations which I always thought…
Read MoreLarry Sanders 15 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (11/26/2014)
This is what happens when Larry gets his head on straight for an entire game. Actually, that’s a misleading statement. This is what happens when Larry is focused, and simultaneously, he is playing against a young team missing a lot of players. I mean, what’s Robbie Hummel going to do when the Colonel rolls into…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 13 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (11/26/2014)
Giannis prayed. He prayed to whatever god or gods he thought might be listening. But the way his body protested at him, he was pretty sure that if there was a god, he wasn’t listening. Eating the ninth out of ten uncooked brats, each bite was a struggle to prevent his stomach from rejecting the…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 13 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/26/2014)
Dënniß ßchrööder force-feeds the Raptors his schnitzel and forces them to drink a stein of his secret-recipe “Schwanzpissen”, pouring in thirteen points in only fifteen minutes of court time. The Shredder lived up to the high standards set by his nickname, easily slicing into the Raptors defense for easy points near the bucket. He also…
Read MoreBrian Roberts Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2014)
You watch this video with anticipation. Brian Roberts is so hot from the floor. He’s showing off his expansive array of offensive skills. He misses free throws, a rarity for the player who led the league in FT% one year, but he never gets thrown off his rhythm. The points keep racking up – eight…
Read MoreJose Calderon 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights
You can make a lot of assertions about how good Jose Calderon really is (does his defense negate his playmaking and his shooting?), but there is one thing we can all agree on: the Knicks are a lot likelier to win games if they can play somebody at point guard whose name is not Shane…
Read MoreGreivis Vasquez 21 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2014)
Walking through the chilly park as a nighttime snow fell all around him, Greivis thought back to his upbringing in Venezuela. His grandmother had always said, if you could catch a single snowflake in your hand, you could make a wish on it. Snow was not a common occurrence in his home country, and he…
