Taj Gibson awoke slowly, lacking the energy to even open his eyes. There was a vague pressure on top of him, a pressure which explained why he had just woken up from a dream about being ponderously flattened between two slabs of concrete. A dim dawn-light made the inside of his eyelids a soothing medium-gray…
Read MoreTyler Zeller 19 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
The Piedmont family, eager for some excitement after weeks of deprivation training at the local desenz facility, were heading towards the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. The young Piedmont boys were big basketball fans; at 7’1″ they were a starting point-guard tandem for their local high school team in the class of…
Read MoreTobias Harris 24 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
These are the quintessential Tobias Harris highlights. There is no aspect of his game that isn’t adequately represented herein. I actually just deleted all the rest of the Tobes highlights from my channel, even the one from his Bucks days, due to their new-found irrelevance. Deleted the backups, too. Those suckers are gone forever. Forever…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 11 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
I am not a very qualified person to write this description. I know very little of this enigmatic “Shabazz” character. The Heat drafted him so that LeBron would stick around, and we know how that worked out, so in his first major task Napier failed miserably. That’s not a good portent. Other than that tidbit…
Read MoreMatt Bonner 18 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
Matt Bonner has been starting a bunch of games for the Spurs in the absence of Tiago Splitter. Let me repeat: Matt Bonner is STARTING for the DEFENDING CHAMPION San Antonio Spurs. Take a look at the thumbnail. Your reaction should be mirroring his. Nothing against the Red Mamba, since I’m sure he tries really…
Read MoreAlex Len Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
This must be the version of Alex Len the Suns thought they were getting when they drafted him with the 5th pick. Or maybe they thought they were getting the version of him that shoots nothing but threes. I hope not, otherwise they’re going to be sorely disappointed. I’m enjoying this dunking version of him….
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 22 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
Bojan “Bojangles” Bogdanovic may be a newbie to the delights of the southern-US-based fried chicken chain, but he is certainly no newbie when it comes to showcasing his talents on the hardwood. As the only good player on the Nets tonight, he drops in his patented “20 piece chicken & 10 biscuits box” (plus two…
Read MoreJabari Parker 13 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2014)
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Jabari Parker during his brief time with the Bucks it’s this: He likes to dunk basketballs. Seems like half his points this year have come in that fashion. I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing. In this game all but two of his field…
Read MoreLarry Sanders 11 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2014)
Larry “The Sandman” Sanders has been struggling at the onset of the season. He has regressed in the fouling department, leading to him getting yanked out of games before he get comfortable in the offense. This results in him shooting a Udoh-esque 42% from the field. No big man should ever shoot below 50%. Jason…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 11 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/16/2014)
Giannis Antetokounmpo and a selection of his teammates were assembled outside the Bradley Center in Milawukee. Despite it only being mid-November, the temperature was only in the upper twenties, and Giannis, dressed only in his underwear, shivered. “I don’t know if trust you guys,” Giannis said hesitantly, teeth chattering. “Last time we do team-building like…
