On a scale of 1-10, with one being “absolutely 100 percent satisfied with the quality of refereeing” and 10 being “ass-blasted”, how mad are Bulls fans after Michael Carter-Williams got flattened by James Harden, thus earning his 6th personal foul? Not to mention Harden’s endless parade of free throws throughout the game. If I’m a…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 20 Pts/13 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (2/3/2017)
“Are you sure this hip replacement will work? It feels funny.” Nikola Jokic asked, still somewhat dazed from the anesthesia. “That’s just the medication talking, dear.” replied the nurse, who was busy entering data into a computer next to Jokic’s bed. “The horse who we got the hip from lived a long healthy life, winning…
Read MoreMarcus Morris Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2017)
Man, looking over this video, it doesn’t even feel like Marcus Morris scores 36 (which is almost 40) points. See for yourself. It feels like 28 or some other good-but-not-great performance when you actually watch the vid. What’s the deal? One problem: he doesn’t have a stretch of the game where he takes over and…
Read MoreTarik Black 13 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2017)
Tarik Black would definitely rank very highly on a theoretical “NBA Players You Don’t Wanna Mess With” power rankings, were I to make such a power rankings. His listed position is center but he’s only 6’9″, so you know he’s developed a lot of toughness due to constantly battling dudes taller than him. Plus, you…
Read MoreJames McAdoo 10 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (2/2/2017)
I’m going to make an honest attempt to get through this entire description without denigrating or mocking Warriors fans. Normally I would insinuate that they only care about James Michael McAdoo because they’re bandwagoners who want to pretend they have deep knowledge of their team (thus watching highlights of the Warriors’ end-of-bench scrubs). But this…
Read MoreClint Capela 22 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2017)
Dwight Howard looked up from his seated position on the bench during pregame shootarounds. “Somehow, I knew you’d be making a visit,” he said. Clint Capela smirked. “Everybody here in Houston hates your guts. Just thought I would let you know.” “Yeah, I think you already told me,” Dwight said, clearly tired of Clint’s harassment….
Read MoreDeAndre’ Bembry 10 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2017)
I’m cool with apostrophes pretty much anywhere in a players’ name. Put one at the beginning, before any letters, that’s cool. Jam some in the middle, I’m down with that. You can even crunch a bunch of them all together, like five in a row, it’s your name, do whatever the heck you want man….
Read MoreMarcin Gortat 21 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2017)
Marcin Gortat’s minutes are up this year, but his scoring is down. Way down. His rebounds increased with his minutes, but his shot attempts did not. What’s the deal? That’s not how things are supposed to work. More minutes = more buckets. I’d consider that truism to be a fundamental part of basketball. Without it,…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. Career High 33 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2017)
I am half convinced (and growing more convinced by the second) that this game between the Hawks and Rockets was scripted. It was too perfect. Rockets take a convincing lead, and then a role-player (who happens to be the son of a well-respected multiple-time All Star) scores 23 points in the fourth quarter. He caps…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 25 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2017)
Here’s my honest take on the matter: the Thunder could really use Ersan Ilyasova. When was the last time someone other than Russell Westbrook scored 25 or more on that team? I was confused as heck when they traded him for Jerami Grant, and I remain confused as heck. Why would you give up one…
