Mike Muscala sat in his apartment, watching ESPN to unwind after a very successful game. The talking heads on the screen chatted about god-knows-what, and the only indication that the Hawks had just won a basketball game was the final score displayed for a few brief seconds in the ticker at the bottom of the…

Al Horford 25 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2014)
I’m getting really fed up with how much you guys don’t appreciate Al Horford. What’s wrong with him? Does he not dunk it enough? This guy was an All-Star at one point, yet he always gets left off of “top 5 centers in the NBA” lists. Yeah, I went there. I’m not even being sarcastic…

OFFICIAL “DE”S OF THE NBA POWER RANKINGS 1. DeMarcus Cousins 2. DeMar DeRozan 3. DeAndre Jordan 4. DeMarre Carroll —-POWER GAP—- 5. DeJuan Blair 6. Dewayne Dedmon The above power rankings make it seem like DeMarre is a worse player than he actually is. He is a perfect glue guy for the Hawks system, being…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/5/2014)
Things are really looking up for Dënniß ßchrööder. He’s starting to get a little love from the national media after this string of good games. He is now in the good company of Giannis and Gobert as young players who have fawning articles written about them by Grantland. There are a few things he needs…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 16 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2014)
If you were paying close attention, you would have noticed that the last time I made Dënniß ßchrööder highlights, just last night, that I didn’t put “Career High” in the title even though he did, in fact, score a career high. Why wouldn’t I? People in the future, when wondering about how HOFer Dënniß played…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 15 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2014)
I’m sure Hawks fans are pleased with Dënniß ßchrööder’s performance this season. He looked pretty bad last year, and I figured he was just another Euro bust. Turns out that all he needed to was turn the aggressiveness dial up a little bit. He still isn’t comfortable with NBA threes but he is comfortable taking…
Read MoreKyle Korver 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/2/2014)
I like it when the Hawks commentator expresses confusion over the fact that Kyle Korver keeps getting left open. For Korver, “open” means “just barely enough time to shoot what would be a crappy three for everyone else”. In reality, opposing teams rarely leave Kyle actually open for any length of time. His gravity on…

It was early in Atlanta, the city just making its first stirrings of activity. The morning sun had not yet begun its slow ascent over the horizon. The clock struck 6, and the alarm sounded. It may has well not have. Dennis Schröder, his body trained to a strict daily schedule, had already awoken the…
Read MoreJeff Teague 26 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/28/2014)
I don’t make Jeff Teague highlights as often as I probably should. The reason for this is threefold: -Doing point guards is lame because you have to get all their assists -Jeff Teague always scores too many points -I don’t even really like Jeff Teague anyway -(bonus fourth reason) he shoots too many layups, which…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 13 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/26/2014)
Dënniß ßchrööder force-feeds the Raptors his schnitzel and forces them to drink a stein of his secret-recipe “Schwanzpissen”, pouring in thirteen points in only fifteen minutes of court time. The Shredder lived up to the high standards set by his nickname, easily slicing into the Raptors defense for easy points near the bucket. He also…
