Clint Capela is sixth in the league in dunks this year, having slam-jammed the ball 94 times in 35 games. This is a vast improvement over last season, when he dunked just 99 times in 77 games. Most of the improvement can be attributed to James Harden and his lob-throwing prowess, but Capela himself shouldn’t…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 28 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2017)
The Magic are apparently feeling some buyer’s regret regarding Serge Ibaka, with rumors claiming that they are looking to trade him. Makes sense, unlike most of their ideas. They made the initial trade for him as a win-now kind of move, they aren’t winning now, so he doesn’t really have a purpose on the roster….
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 22 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2017)
Bojan Bogdanovic is averaging 14 points a game this year. This fact surprises me, because it feels like someone averaging that many points should sometimes be recognized by anyone besides people from his home country and me. Seriously. Where’s the hype. This guy is only in his third year in the league, he’s only 27……
Read MoreMatt Barnes 19 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2017)
Why haven’t their been locker room fights in Sacramento yet? Their team is well-stocked with players who are known fighters. Matt Barnes will punch anything that looks at his wife the wrong way, anything that looks at HIM the wrong way, or anything that moves. Darren Collison will punch anything that looks like his wife….
Read MoreTristan Thompson 22 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2017)
Tristan “Triscuits” Thompson choked near the end of regulation, making just one of two free throws when making both of them would have obviously been better (it’s math). However, making zero of them would have been way worse, so Triscuits didn’t choke as hard as he could have. There was definitely a higher level of…
Read MoreTy Lawson 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/6/2017)
Ty Lawson seems to be playing slightly better of late, especially if you ignore the games where he scores in the single digits. In my mind, there are two possible yet conflicting reasons why he’s recently been looking a little bit better on the court: Option A: Lawson has given up alcohol entirely, has thrown…
Read MoreYogi Ferrell 15 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/6/2017)
We have already seen the peak of Yogi Ferrell’s NBA career: 32 points, 9 threes, 1 kajillion hearts won. There is nowhere to go but down for him. Those who climb the highest mountains must either come down or die at the top… wow, that was pretty profound. Damn. Did I come up with that?…
Read MoreRodney McGruder 15 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2017)
Rodney McGruder might win this year’s award of “Player Who No One Has Heard Of Save For Half Of His Team’s Fanbase”. That’s right, only half. Remember, lots of Heat fans still think LeBron is on their team. And who can blame them? The way he left is bound to leave a lot of mental…
Read MoreIvica Zubac 10 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/6/2017)
Man, you gotta feel for Timofey Mozgov. He goes from not playing on a really good team because the team is too good to play him, to not playing on a really bad team because the team is too bad to play him. Maybe that sounds like I’m saying Mozgov would make the Lakers better,…
Read MoreOtto Porter 25 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2017)
Somehow Otto Porter is leading the league in three-point percentage. If he holds on to the lead, it will mark the first time since the 2008-09 season (why doesn’t Anthony Morrow get minutes WHY WHY WHY) that a melanin-ed individual achieves that honor. Just a curiosity I noticed. The usual white suspects are either having…
