With Andre Drummond out due to a “rib contusion” (we all know the real reason: CISH, or Chronic Incurable Shoulder Hair), Stan Van Gundy had no choice, no choice at all, but to insert Boban Marjanovic as the starting center against Hassan Whiteside and the Heat. Actually, he did have a choice, but how much…

Boban Marjanovic 14 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2017)
Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy took the first tentative steps in removing his head from his own butt by playing Boban Marjanovic 13 minutes tonight. That’s still way fewer than he should be getting, but at least it was more minutes than Eric Moreland got. It’s a start. I had been giving Can’t Van Coach…

Man, I’m kind of descriptioned-out after writing all three of those Curry three-ilation stories in the span of about 10 minutes. Deadlines are the truest source of inspiration, and now that I don’t really have a deadline, I don’t know what to write about. Boban Marjanovic is the obvious candidate for subject matter, the Detroit…

Two games with major minutes for Boban Marjanovic, two wins. Huh. How about that. It’s almost like, you play your good players, you win basketball games! Can’t Van Coach proved tonight that he CAN coach, but only if he’s not doing what he thinks he needs to do to win games. Oops! At least we’re…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2017)
I’m trying to figure out if there’s any correlation between these two events that just happened concurrently: -Boban Marjanovic played 27 minutes and scored a career-high 27 points -The Pistons beat the heavily favored Rockets Ah, now that I think about it, probably not. There’s no way that those two things are in any way…

Boban Marjanovic’s dominance was so evident in this game that even the commentators can’t figure out why Stan Van Gundy (henceforth referred to as “Can’t Van Coach”) doesn’t give him more minutes. They later concede that Marjanovic has trouble guarding mobile bigs and that’s why he’s unsuitable in many matchups, but I’ve got a refutal…

I just found out that Boban Marjanovic is already 28 years old. My brain had probably received that information as some point in the past, but apparently that little factoid was discarded in order to store something that I deemed more important at the time. Now that I have relearned of Marjanovic’s age, the urgency…

Frickin’ finally. FINALLY. I don’t know why the heck the Pistons would sign Boban Marjanovic to a big multiyear deal if they’re not even going to play him. Someone posited the theory that he’s insurance for when Aron Baynes’ contract runs its course? But that’s obviously BS because Baynes sucks and has stupid hair and…

King Marjanovic sat in his private chambers, located at the top of the highest tower of the castle. From this high-up vantage point, the king could look out each of the room’s four windows in turn and be able to see nearly the full extent of his kingdom. Now taking the opportunity to so look,…

The Spurs blew their load too early. They played Boban Marjanovic way too much during the regular season; It’s likely too late for them to unleash him as their secret weapon during the playoffs… Or is it? I don’t want to divulge everything right now, since I am currently employed as a playoffs consultant for…
