I don’t know what to think about the Cavaliers acquiring Kyle Korver. On one hand, it’s the Cavs, and it’s Kyle Korver. On the other hand, it’s the CAVS, and it’s KYLE KORVER. I’m so conflicted. Is Korver even good anymore? His first two games with his new team were pretty bad, but this one…
Read MoreTony Allen 22 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
Does Tony Allen being horrible on offense make him more or less likely to trash talk the good offensive player James Harden after scoring on him? Does Tony Allen being excellent on defense make him more or less likely to trash talk the bad defensive player James Harden after scoring on him? “God-damn wrecked you…
Read MoreLuke Babbitt 16 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
Call me an optimist, but I really, truly, and without sarcasm, thought that Luke Babbitt would be a factor for the Heat is this year. An offensive factor. A 10 ppg factor. The Heat needed shooting, so they went out and got a guy who can shoot. A guy who would be in line for…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 14 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
Do not be fooled by the “14 Assists” part of the video title. They’re great assists, don’t get me wrong. He’d probably still have 10 of them if this was a FIBA game, that’s how good they are. But they aren’t the best part of the video. No, that honor goes to the FOUR (4)…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 23 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
Admit it. You are not very hyped for this video. Any hype you may hold for Bojan Bogdanovic is solely because of his country of origin. The way he plays the game of basketball, though, evokes in you no strong passion, no overwhelming desire to see more. You’ve already seen him do the things he…
Read MoreCristiano Felicio 13 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2017)
Cristiano “The Brazilian Shaq” Felicio: ready for more minutes? He was relatively effective against the Knicks, playing 25 minutes and scoring thirteen points. He only grabbed five rebounds (I bet Taj Gibson was stealing his rebounds) but he didn’t accumulate any of the “bad” stats (turnovers or personal fouls). I thought conditioning might be an…
Read MoreTerrence Jones 24 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2017)
If Terrence Jones could hit his free throws, he would have had thirty instead of just twenty-four. But he had to go 3-of-9 from the welfare stripe, so instead of the narrative being “young player with potential is finally breaking out”, the narrative is just…nothing. There is no Terrence Jones narrative after this game. 24-point…
Read MoreMindaugas Kuzminskas 19 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2017)
Attention to the cavemen inhabiting TNT headquarters: your underdeveloped brains might not realize this, but there are some plays that require replays and some plays that do not require replays. And during the Knicks-Bulls broadcast last night, your ignorance on proper replay protocol was exposed in the most embarrassing manner possible. Every Mindaugas Kuzminskas basket…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 13 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2017)
I just found out that Boban Marjanovic is already 28 years old. My brain had probably received that information as some point in the past, but apparently that little factoid was discarded in order to store something that I deemed more important at the time. Now that I have relearned of Marjanovic’s age, the urgency…
Read MoreDevin Booker Career High 39 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2017)
I look at the boxscore, Devin Booker has like 11 points, I’m like “okay no D-Book highlights tonight that’s too bad”, and I go and make some Lakers highlight vids. Usual stuff, not giving it too much thought, but then I go back to the final boxscore and The Booker Report has 39 points? “DAMN”…
