YAWN. The Cavaliers keep winning. Can you expect people to keep tuning in when the outcome of all these games/series are are already determined? The whole point of watching sports is the idea that it is something unscripted, something brand new, something exciting. Sure, the Raptors made this one kind of close, but was there…
Read MoreAaron Gordon All 99 Dunks Full Highlights (2016-17 Season Dunkilation)
Through the eyeholes of his Donald Duck costume, Aaron Gordon kept a lookout for kids (or adults) who might be looking for a personal interaction with one of their favorite Disney characters. Thankfully, he was working an early-morning shift, and there was hardly anybody around to interact with. When none other than Magic teammate Evan…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 21 Points Full Highlights (5/6/2017)
Does anybody else get annoyed by the “PLAYOFF INTENSITY” fetishism that is displayed both on TV broadcasts and on the internet in general? Maybe I don’t like it when people display emotions since I myself am an emotionless semi-human, but the whole thing feels like its trying to ascribe more meaning to what is, like…
Read MoreDeAndre Jordan All 253 Dunks Full Highlights (2016-17 Season Dunkilation)
DeAndre Jordan was bored nearly to tears. On this perfectly straight stretch of Arizona highway which lay between Los Angeles and Houston, there was nothing to do but listen to podcasts. But his phone was almost out of battery and his car charger had been inadvertently left behind in Los Angeles, so now there weren’t…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (5/4/2017)
Does Scott Brooks even realize that he has a guy who once scored 44 points in a single game languishing on the bench? I’m trying to think of the last time Otto Porter scored 44 in an NBA-sanctioned contest, and you know what, I actually can’t think of it, because it never happened. But for…
Read MoreChanning Frye 18 Points Full Highlights (5/3/2017)
It’s weird to me that Channing Frye didn’t average significantly less PPG this season than during his “prime” in Phoenix. For some reason I have this memory of “Phoenix Frye Man” scoring 15 per game and canning hella threes set up by Steve Nash. Nope! He peaked at 12; this year, he averaged 9. In…
Read MoreCory Joseph 22 Points Full Highlights (5/3/2017)
Hearing Marv Albert pronounce “garbage time” as “GAR-bahge time” pretty much made me the happiest dude ever. Then I remembered he’s a horrible sex-offending scumbag who can’t even commentate coherently anymore and I stopped being happy, but then I got happy again because I remembered that Cory Joseph, who really sucks, scored 22 points in…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 23 Points Full Highlights (5/3/2017)
Thon Maker isn’t around to sorta kinda expose Jonas Valanciunas’ weaknesses anymore, so in theory he should be good to get reinserted into the starting lineup for the Raptors. Ignore the first game of this series, where he actually did get the start and was ignored just like always. As we saw tonight, a properly…

Read MoreTrevor Ariza 23 Points Full Highlights (5/1/2017)
The Rockets would have had a much easier time in their first round series against the Thunder if Trevor Ariza had been able to hit his three-pointers. He wasn’t the worst offender; Ryan Anderson made three of them the whole series just like Ariza did, but needed eight more attempts to get there. So there…
