“Yo, Andrew, I got a really weird question to ask you,” said Marreese Speights, walking up to the tall Australian in the locker room. “Weird questions are my specialty,” replied Andrew. “Ask away.” Marreese paused while he tried to figure out how to phrase his question delicately. That proved too much of a challenge, so…
Read MoreIan Mahinmi Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2016)
Apparently nobody cares when Ian Mahinmi scores an uncommonly large (for him) amount of points. That’s okay, you can’t make people care about things they don’t care about. However, for Ian’s benefit, I have compiled a list of the things that Mahinmi would have to do in-game in order for people to pay attention to…
Read MoreCarl Landry 22 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2016)
Carl Landry is a scoring machine. People don’t realize it, but he is. He has been for his entire career. Somehow, at age 32, his per-36 numbers in Philly exceed anything he did in his younger days, leading me to believe that he is actually aging in reverse. I mean, just look at the facts….
Read MoreIsh Smith 20 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/27/2016)
I have not been as faithful in my compilation of Ish Smith highlights as I, were I a perfect person, should have been. I claim to love spotlighting the un-spotlit, to enjoy nothing more than to showcase the unshowcased or unshowcasable. I still like to think that I remain true to my channel’s stated goals….
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 22 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2016)
Whenever I watch D’Angelo Russell play, I get reminded of Kendall Marshall. That’s not a bad thing. I love me some K-Butter, and I wish that he would play well for a team again. He was way more of a passer with the Lakers, almost to a fault, compared to Russell, who, well, needs to…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 19 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2016)
You know how hard is to do Jusuf Nurkic highlights when you know for a FACT that there is a god-damn SPIDER in the vicinity of your workstation? I’ll tell you folks with all honesty: it’s frickin’ hard. Like, one second he (do spiders even have genders god they’re so creepy) is just chilling out…
Read MoreSeth Curry 14 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2016)
The Seth-Curry-as-a-starter experiment continues. For how much George Karl hates him and wants him to fail, he sure is receiving a lot of minutes lately. Except for, you know, those three games in a row where he didn’t play at all. I’m half-convinced that Karl has totally given up on the season and is now…
Read MoreNorman Powell 15 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2016)
Norman Powell has been having some good games recently, which must come as blessed relief for Raptors fans who had to watch him put up 0-for-whatever or 1-for-something games on a regular basis. I didn’t even realize it, but he has been shooting the ball very poorly outside of the three good games he’s had,…
Read MoreIan Mahinmi 18 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2016)
This is more like it. After an unacceptable nineteen-point performance in February wherein Mahinmi took eighteen shots to score his points, thus prompting me to withdraw his ill-gotten “MANhinmi” nickname, Mahinmi has now scored eighteen points on only nine shots. Thus, I will return the nickname that I had taken away, and Mahinmi can once…
Read MoreJordan Hamilton 11 Points Pelicans Debut Full Highlights (3/26/2016)
“Remember the plan. Show them the highlight videos,” I say into my walkie-talkie, the other end of which is a small earbud planted in Jordan Hamilton’s ear. “Got it,” Jordan confirms, adjusting his tie and nervously flattening the crease in his slacks. He enters the small meeting room to sit down across from two members…
