Frankly, I would reserve the nickname “The Juice” for a player who is obviously using steroids. It’s like calling a player “The ‘Roid” or “Gym Candy”. I don’t know what it refers to in Simmons’ case since it doesn’t seem to me like he’s using steroids, but whatever it’s a reference to (perhaps his love…
Read MoreManu Ginobili 18 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
Since I have already determined through my intrepid journalistic investigations that Manu Ginobili is regularly supplied fresh bodies by terrifying entities from an otherworldly realm that he accesses through a cursed stained-glass window in his home, we know that there’s no reason for him to retire any time soon. Why retire when your body is…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/new/ If things are really about to get blown up in New York (wow, I reread that phrase and I swear I didn’t mean it that way), I’m looking forward to tons of minutes and tons of swag from Brandon Jennings. With Carmelo and Rose and Baker gone, he would get to be the guy…
Read MoreMirza Teletovic 19 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
I was pretty pumped when the Bucks signed Mirza Teletovic this offseason. I saw what he had done in Phoenix the year prior, and he seemed like the perfect stretchy-foury type to put next to Giannis. I even advocated trading for him during the season, that’s how much I wanted this dude in Milwaukee. Now…
Read MoreDante Exum 11 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
I’m not even going to say what everybody is thinking with regards to Dante Exum. Not even going to say it. There would be no point; every side of the argument is entrenched in their positions. Jazz fans would be like “nuh uh he’s still recovering from injury” and rational NBA observers would be like…
Read MoreJamal Murray 20 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
I like seeing Jamal Murray shoot the basketball. I want to see him shoot the basketball more often. That’s all there is to it. I’m often critical of so-called “chuckers”, and I’ve even been critical of Murray himself for taking too many bad shots. But I don’t care anymore. Whatever shots he has to take…
Read MoreJaMychal Green Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
Spurs fans will be happy to tell you all about the success stories their team has had in the realm of player development. Finding gems in the D-League, finding gems overseas, turning role-players into really good role-players, it never ends. The Spurs have the Midas Touch when it comes to their roster. They can do…
Read MoreMarquese Chriss Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
It’s refreshing to see a rookie from this cursed draft class put together some good games. Especially one who was purported to be “raw”, as Marquese Chriss was. His rawness still permeates most aspects of his game, but his talent is capable of overcoming the rawness to put up some good stats. Sometimes. Sometimes, instead,…
Read MoreDevin Booker 31 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
Man, this video loses a lot of steam after Devin Booker gets done scoring those 27 points in the 2nd quarter. A LOT of steam. It pretty much stops dead in its tracks. Only 4 free throws, after that insane shooting display? Kind of disappointing, but the meat of the video is still there, and…
Read MoreEvan Turner 24 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2017)
For the first few weeks of the season, Evan Turner was widely mocked and reviled for how he was performing relative to his contract. And not the good kind of mocking and reviling. The bad kind. The “worst contract in the league maybe” kind. He was assigned the blame for whatever troubles the Trailblazers were…
