The Rockets have won 4 out of 5 games that Ben McLemore has started this season. This fuels my theory that McLemore might be the “secret sauce” for Houston. If you are not familiar with the concept of “secret sauce”, “secret sauce” is when you have a really great sauce recipe that you use to…

Ben McLemore 20 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2019)
I apologize for this wholly unoriginal thought, but I’m thinking right now that Ben McLemore/Austin Rivers/Chris Clemons as a combined triumvirate is a better fit with James Harden than Russell Westbrook is. My views are not at all tainted by the fact that those three combined for 58 points in this game while Westbrook sat…

The Ben McLemore redemption tour is happening RIGHT NOW, and hardly anyone is paying attention because James Harden is busy averaging 40 or whatever. All you people who were making fun of him, saying he was washed up, saying he was finished, look at him now. GAZE UPON HIM. He’s a starter for one of…

It hasn’t been as long as you think since Ben McLemore did anything notable on an NBA basketball court; he somehow managed a 20-point game last season. This despite only appearing in 19 games and only making 25 shots the whole year. Given those circumstances, that 20-point outburst was probably the least likely performance of…

Before this game, I was starting to think that Ben McLemore might be out of the league after this season. And, honestly, I might still kind of be thinking that, because McLemore seemed to turn from “disappointing but playable player” to “a pile of human trash so immense and unskilled that it should never be…

Ben McLemore is one of those “scoring-only” shooting guards who doesn’t get rebounds or assists or even play defense. So it’s a big problem when he’s not scoring. When he’s not scoring, he gives you nothing other than a warm body to run around and act like it’s playing basketball. That’s why it always warms…

Here’s my opinion: Ben McLemore isn’t aggressive enough in getting shots up. Since the only thing he can do in the NBA is score points, he becomes a zero on the court if he’s not looking to score. He needs to make it a point to take shots, and his teammates need to try to…

Ben “Easy Mc” McLemore is the perfect commander for the Grizzlies’ highly-advanced and state-of-the-art tank. He’s a fairly young but still developing talent who was picked high in the draft, so they have plenty of excuses to give him minutes under the guise of “developing” him. He’ll probably even produce some decent stats if given…

Is it reasonable to say that Ben “DNP-CD” McLemore had a “revenge game” tonight against the Kings? I think it is. I don’t see any way in which this 21-point effort versus the team that spurned him/ruined his career/called him a bust right to his face was not an act of vengeance. His first game…

Ben McLemore boldly inserted himself into the immortal halls of basketball boneheadedness with a failed 360 dunk attempt in the second quarter of the Grizzlies’ game against the Raptors two days ago. A lot of people were quick to jump of McLemore for hotdogging in a game that was by no means over, and I…
