The Thunder injury situation has bypassed “ludicrous” and has now ventured into “Chris Kaman laying supine on bench chairs” territory. Do you hear that? It’s the siren call of Washington DC, beckoning to Kevin Durant. Even without the reigning MVP and scoring champ, the Thunder are now showcasing their true depth. Which is Serge Ibaka,…
Read MoreIman Shumpert 19 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
If someone who has watched the Knicks more than I have could let me know how the triangle offense is working out, that would be cool. My impression is that it’s not working well at all right now, but keep in mind that I think Phil Jackson is super overrated and Derek Fisher is not…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 12 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
I should know by now never to get excited about a good scoring performance in progress. Doug McDermott had 12 in the first half against the Magic. Things were going well, balls were going in holes. It was a prime opportunity to record his first career twenty-burger! I even tuned in for a bit to…
Read MoreAlan Anderson 18 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
So, Mikhail Prokhorov might be selling some percentage of the Nets. What does this mean for Alan Anderson and the rest of his teammates? -Fewer, if any, pierogies at team functions -No more free-of-charge vodka vending machines in the locker room -Italian mafia to take over the rigging of games from the Russian mafia -Alan…
Read MoreGordon Hayward 27 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
Gordon Hayward sat in front of his computer, growing more and more frustrated as he played. “Get good? You get good! You’re the noob you damn fruitcake!” he yelled into his headset as he lost another game of League of Legends. “Match me on Starcraft and we’ll see who the real noob is! Oh, and…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 18 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
I’ve made lots of highlight videos, granting me uncommon insight into the relative popularity of players, based on view counts and likes. I’ve found out several truths in this way: people will watch any highlights of any rookie no matter what. I’ve also found out that Brook Lopez could score 40 and you guys still…
Read MoreBrandon Davies 13 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
Regarding players on the 76ers roster, the question you have to ask yourself is, “Would this player get any minutes on another team?” In most cases the answer is “Yes, but not very many.” In Brandon Davies’ case, I used to think the answer was “Absolutely not, no way” but I have revised my answer…
Read MoreSebastian Telfair 16 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
Sebastian Telfair is another one of those straight-outta-high-school prospects that sort of flubbed once arriving in the NBA. He has insane speed, but was never able score or pass at a high-enough level to cut it as a starter. If people had been making YouTube mixtapes when this dude was tearing up New York, probably…
Read MoreJaVale Mcgee 16 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
The early morning sun shone through the portrait windows, heating the room though the light layer of frost on the trees outside betrayed the true coldness of the dawn. JaVale McGee relaxed in his divan, sipping some imported Kopi Luwak, and retorted. “I know that, Kenneth, but I really think that the best thing to…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 12 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
Is Bogdanovic like a super common last name in the former Yugoslav republics? Or is it just a coincidence that there’s another dude who the Suns drafted named Bogdan Bogdanovic? (John Johnson was an All-Star) Or are they the same person? It’s really hard to tell, the only evidence I have is that some Euro-looking…
