Dennis Schröder was walking by himself towards the court when a voice behind him said coldly, “I know what you wearing underneath your jersey.” Turning around, Dennis saw Jusuf Nurkic standing in a shadowy corner of the corridor. “Yeah. My Under Armour,” he retorted, relieved to find that his voice didn’t waver from nervousness. “Real…

Mike Muscala 16 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2016)
Is it fair to say that Mike Muscala is WASTING AWAY in Atlanta? That Mike Muscala’s PRIME is being SQUANDERED in Atlanta? That the fans of Atlanta are taking Mike Muscala’s considerable talents FOR GRANTED? Yes. All those things are fair to say because they are eminently true. Mike “Muscy Stench” Muscala’s prime is happening…

Has anyone else noticed that, from certain angles, Dënniß ßchrööder looks like a sexy Nubian princess? I know how this sounds. Make fun of me all you want, but I am being totally serious when I say that ßchrööder, when the lighting is right, resembles chocolate-skinned royalty from southern Egypt. I think it’s the eyes….
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 21 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2016)
A lot of smart people have been searching for answers as to why the Hawks are so inconsistent this year. I’ve seen so many reasons posited that I can hardly keep track of them all. “It’s this player, no it’s THIS player, NO, it’s the coach, wait, what about the fans, you’re all wrong, it’s…

Dirk Nowitzki has died. That’s all there is to it. He’s not coming back out of the tunnel this time, because he’s dead for real. This isn’t like those other times, where it looked like he was dead but he was actually alive. This death is permanent. Unless German NBA fans want to nationalistically support…
Read MoreKyle Korver 19 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/16/2016)
This kind of a performance is about all we can expect from Kyle Korver nowadays. Some threes, and free throws from whatever technical foul happens while he’s on the court. His ratio of twos-to-threes attempted isn’t as lopsided as I imagined it would be, but he’s continuing his seasons-long trend of shooting more long bombs…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 19 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (12/13/2016)
Maybe there’s something fatally wrong with the Hawks, maybe there isn’t, but we all can agree that giving up 131 points to an offensively-challenged-and-that’s-putting-it-lightly Magic team is not a good a sign. At what point do you stop saying “they just keep hitting shots” and say instead “why does our defensive concept allow for so…
Read MoreDennis Schröder Career High 33 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2016)
I’m going to try and write this description without any bitterness over the Bucks blowing a 20-point lead at home to a team that sucks now. Okay? I’m not angry, I’m not bitter, I’m a totally rational human being whose self-worth is in no way tied to the performance of a bunch of millionaires I’ve…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 17 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
Another game, another puzzling Atlanta Hawks loss. Bob Rathbun and Dominique Wilkins don’t seem to be taking it very well. Rathbun has already freaked himself out by thinking about the Chapecoense plane crash too much (mentioning something about how easily it could happen to them in his commentary for last game), and Wilkins is always…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 21 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/30/2016)
Tim Hardaway Jr. had a pretty good individual game, but that doesn’t matter right now, because the Hawks have now lost seven of their last eight. Whatever their problems might be, we can realistically put most of the blame on Hardaway Jr.’s shoulders because he is a convenient scapegoat for wider problems that the team…
