Shawn Marion is many things. All-Star. Illinoisan. Olympian. Male. Champion. But is he a Hall-of-Famer? Some would say no. But those people are wrong. So wrong, in fact, that I do not need to go into detail about the ways in which they are wrong because the wrongness is so self evidently wrong. The correct…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2013)
Disappointment fills my body like a neglected washtub, once full to the brim, but now overflowing. Hopes and dreams that once seemed so bright are now blackened with soot and decay. This anguish is manifesting itself as a watery discharge evacuating via my nasolacrimal passage. I expected KCP to at least score 20 points tonight….
Read MoreEvan Turner 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/29/2013)
I never got the concept of easing up near the end of a blowout. The fans paid to see good basketball. They don’t want to see teams not even trying to score near the end of the game. I bet there are playoff tiebreakers where point differential matters. And it’s kind of like “We beat…
Read MoreOmri Casspi 15 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2013)
Omri Casspi has had a disappointing season so far for the Rockets. They badly needed a replacement for the now-departed Carlos Delfino, and Casspi passed the eye test. He’s foreign, he doesn’t shave often enough, and he can shoot threes. But if you’re gonna follow in the footsteps of the great Delfino, you’re gonna need…
Read MoreShelvin Mack 14 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (12/29/2013)
You wanna know how you know that a team sucks at evaluating talent? Other than them being an NBA team? When they waive a player that goes on to contribute to a winning team. The Wizards did this with Shelvin Mack. He gives the Hawks some energy off the bench, and the Wizards got rid…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb Career High 22 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/29/2013)
Kevin Durant walked through the halls of the Thunder practice facility after getting some individual drills in. It was late, and he though he was the only on there. But as he walked, he thought he heard a wailing voice. Curious, he navigated his way towards the source of the noise. Soon, he stood outside…
Read MoreTobias Harris 17 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2013)
Now that Bucks fans have Giannis to fawn over, they’re almost all the way through the grieving process for losing Tobias Harris. The scars are fading; and while time heals not all wounds, it does pass quickly enough for the average short-minded sports fan. It helps that Tobes has been injured for almost the whole…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 30 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2013)
I gotta give props to the National Security Administration. Ever since they started keeping logs of everything every one of us does on the internet, my job has gotten a lot easier. I just asked them for logs on a certain Mr. Thaddeus Young, and they gave them to me no questions asked. This is…
Read MoreMike Scott 18 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2013)
“Adam, you know I respect you, but could you possibly walk any louder? We’re supposed to be sneaking.” Adam Silver turned red at the admonishment of his boss, but the pitch blackness afforded him cover. “Sorry, sir,” he whispered demurely, pushing his glasses up his nose. “Do you know which room is his?” David Stern…
Read MoreMirza Teletovic 17 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2013)
I once knew a Bosnian dude, in my earlier days. We called him “The Gorilla” because of his preponderance of body hair. And then we made fun of him for shaving. Funny how that works out, huh? This doesn’t have anything to do with Mirza Teletovic and his 17 points; I just wanted to share…
