There’s probably some sort of way to figure out how many triple-doubles Russell Westbrook would have if you replaced Steven Adams with Omer Asik. Some fancy method that involves shooting percentages and on-off court stats and all sorts of crazy stuff. Plus the fact that Asik would drop literally every pass thrown to him by…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 20 Points Full Highlights (1/9/2017)
Brandon Jennings got a surprise starting gig tonight, after Derrick Rose failed to show up for the game and didn’t tell anyone about it. That’s why you have backups! As of this writing, Rose’s current whereabouts are unknown, so you know what that means. Speculation! Baseless speculation! I’ve got a few theories as to Rose’s…
Read MoreAl-Farouq Aminu 16 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)
Al-Farouq Aminu suffers from “Jeremy Lamb Syndrome”: his droopy eyes always make him look like he’s sleepy and not giving 100% effort. He can be running at a full sprint down the court but his eyes will always be half-lidded like he’s getting ready to take a nap. He can dunk it with the power…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 16 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)
It’s become a recurring theme in Anthony “Tollbooth” Tolliver’s career: he signs with a new team for some smallish amount of money to play a smallish bench role, and by the third month of the season the team in question is starting him because he fits in better with high-usage players than the higher-paid, more…
Read MoreJustin Hamilton 16 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)
I’ve always maintained that a Justin Hamilton video is not a Justin Hamilton video if it doesn’t contain at least one dunk in it (colloquially referred to as a “JHAM”). I am pleased to report that this video includes not just one nasty, powerful JHAM. It includes two JHAMs. Plural. Okay, so there is nothing…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 15 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)
Nik “Sucksass” Stauskas had a good first month of the season as he sucked a little bit less ass than is customary for him. However, it all came crashing down again in December, and he went back to being an inconsistent shooter who offers very little in the way of other skills. I suppose we…
Read MoreMarreese Speights 19 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)
Marreese Speights was relaxing in his living room with teammate Wes Johnson. They had finished two extra-large pepperoni pizzas and now Wes was looking bored. “Let’s see what’s on TV,” he said, grabbing the remote from Marreese’s coffee table. “I don’t really feel like moving around or getting up after all that pizza.” “I hear…
Read MoreDevin Booker 28 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)
This is just the seventh time in thirty-seven games that Devin Booker has shot at or over 50% from the field in a game. We can go around in circles arguing about his development all we want, but I think we can all agree that he’s currently being asked to do more than he is…
Read MoreDario Saric 18 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)
Where’s the playmaking? I was promised playmaking from Dario Saric, and I have not received it. He flashed a bit of it earlier in the season, but lately the 1 and 0-assist games have been piling up for him. 2.5 assists per game isn’t terrible, and his assist percentage is about league average, but I…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 17 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)
Two good games for Brandon Ingram, both leading to Lakers wins? I don’t even know what to say. My argument for him being the biggest bust ever is quickly being dismantled, brick by brick. Actual bricks here. Not the basketball kind. It wasn’t even that great of an argument to begin with, it was so…
