I learned a long time ago that whenever I tweet at athletes, they never respond. You have to be another celebrity or sports person before they’ll even acknowledge your tweets. Either that or they have to have some kind of witty one-liner in response to you that totally wrecks you. Given that knowledge, I still…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 17 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (3/18/2016)
At some point, the honeymoon is going to end, and Michael Beasley will revert to his old habits of being a crazy headcase chucker who pisses everybody off. It has to, right? There’s no way that he can keep putting up 15 a game off the bench and actually helping his team win games. That…
Read MoreKarl-Anthony Towns 32 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2016)
If this was 2002, and Karl-Anthony Towns was balling as hard as he is right now (assume for the sake of example that he is the same age as he is now, though a 7-year-old KAT balling hard in the NBA would be awesome), you’d be lucky to get a postage-stamp sized clip of him…
Read MoreNik Stauskas Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2016)
Finally, a game for Nik Stauskas that falls into the “actually good” category. I was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen. He’d had a bunch of “okay” games, which gave me hope, but even playing for the rotten 76ers didn’t elevate his play enough for him to ever score 20. Until now. Anticlimactic,…
Read MoreTyler Ennis 13 Points Full Highlights (3/17/2016)
Man, that final fourth quarter lineup against the Grizzlies was nuts. Tyler Ennis, Rashad Vaughn, Damien Inglis, John Henson, and Miles Plumlee. What the heck? That’s the kind of lineup that should never see the light of day except in practice. There’s no scoring there! Where’s the scoring? It worked this time, but only because…
Read MoreDamien Inglis 10 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/17/2016)
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! DAMIEN INGLIS HIGHLIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am excited. It’s been almost two whole seasons since the Bucks drafted this dude, and I have been sitting here, patiently, waiting to make highlights of him. There were some promising signs (actually just one promising sign) early this season, namely, that he hit a three in his first career…
Read MoreTrey Lyles 17 Points Full Highlights (3/17/2016)
Is there anyone on Earth who is excited for Trey Lyles? I figure that Curiosity rover on Mars is probs excited for him, but that thing doesn’t count. It’s not even a human, plus, it’s on Mars. I’m talking about real live organic meatsacks inhabiting the planet Earth, hyped for Treymendous Trey. I didn’t think…
Read MoreJoffrey Lauvergne 16 Points Full Highlights (3/17/2016)
The Nuggets’ season has been over for a while now. Jokic and Nurkic have already gotten their chances to be shown off in the offense. Is it not Lauvergne’s turn now? I mean, he got thirty minutes, which makes it look like they were showing him off, but he only took eight shots, which means…
Read MoreMarcus Thornton 18 Points Full Highlights (3/17/2016)
“Thanks for agreeing to meet me at this restaurant,” said Marcus Thornton as he sat down in a corner booth of Old Country Buffet. “It really helps me be more comfortable than meeting in a conference room. I’m gonna go get some food now.” The two Wizards front-office executives waited patiently for Marcus to return…
Read MoreAl Jefferson 21 Points Full Highlights (3/17/2016)
I will admit that sometimes I am swayed by the FGA stat more than I maybe should be. Al Jefferson scoring 21 points is not exactly a breakout performance for him, but he made ten shots! That tied two other players for most field goals made in a game last night. And, you know, the…
