Count me among those who remain unconvinced by Jerian Grant. It’s well known that Phil Jackson reached when drafting him because he’s obsessed with big point guards or something, so it’s not like it’s Jerian’s fault that he’s not living up to his draft slot, but still. He was not very good in New York…
Read MoreTimofey Mozgov 20 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2016)
In perusing my large collection of Timofey Mozgov closeups for the perfect thumbnail image, I’ve noticed something: Mozgov has the greyest eyes ever. They are greyer than grey. The are both gray and grey simultaneously. Unlike some special snowflakes who characterize their eye color as “hazel” or “green” (both being made-up colors), Mozgov’s are legit…
Read MoreChanning Frye 21 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2016)
If LeBron James averages a triple-double this year, it’s going to be in large part due to Channing Frye being a conduit through which free assists are channeled. 6 of 7 FryeBaskets were assisted by LeBron in this game. If they can even have half that connection during the average game, 10 assists per game…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 29 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/15/2016)
What’s up with Bojan Bogdanovic and postering people this year? First he totally smushed it on Giannis Antetokounmpo, now he’s gone and power-pumped right on top of Timofey Mozgov. There’s a joke in there about Russo-Croatian relations, but I’m not going to make it. I’ve learned my lesson. Don’t even tempt me on this one,…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 20 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2016)
Are people still making fun of Michael Jordan for drafting Frank Kaminsky in lieu of taking that huge package of picks from the Celtics? That seems like it was a while ago, and all fanbases involved have moved on to more pressing matters multiple times. Currently, for the Celtics, whether Al Horford is dead or…

Those who expected the Heat to withstand the loss of Dwyane Wade and the clots of Chris Bosh were deluding themselves. Dion Waiters and Luke Babbitt are not suitable replacements, unless your goal as a team is to tank. Sorry to say, the Heat have burned out for now. Press F to pay respects. I’m…
Read MoreTrey Lyles 18 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2016)
“We’re going to do good, you and I,” Trey Lyles mumbled, holding a tattered cardboard box in his hands. He put his face next to the opening and laughed happily, as if something inside it had replied. “That’s right. We’ll be unstoppable.” Jeff Withey had wandered over. “Do you have to give yourself a pep…
Read MoreLangston Galloway 21 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2016)
Langston Galloway started off the season a bit slowly, but here’s the thing: he’s never been a great or even good scorer in the league. Anybody who thought he would transform himself into such a player this year was probably being too optimistic. I don’t count myself among that particular group of optimists, mostly because…
Read MoreJustin Holiday 16 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2016)
Every fanbase whose team acquires Justin Holiday seems to get extremely hyped for him despite his historical lack of production. This puzzled me for some months until I realized the reason for the hype, vain as it might be: these fans are watching MY highlight videos and coming away from them with the impression that…
