On a night where the Celtics tallied 39 assists, Avery Bradley has exactly zero of them. Now, I understand that the Celtics have two ball-handling PGs in Isaiah Thomas and Marcus Smart, plus a point-forward-type-thing named Evan Turner, but right now I don’t feel like allowing those facts to get in the way of my…

Jae Crowder 19 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2015)
What’s up with the Boston video people and showing random shots of happy fans after a made Celtics basket? It’s weird. I don’t even especially care for close up face shots of the players themselves, and this surpasses that, going into straight-up voyeuristic territory. When I go to a sporting event, I want total certainty…
Read MoreMarcus Smart Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2015)
Something is wrong with me. A grievous affliction, of unknown origin. I have talked to many a medical professionals, and even after repeated examinations, they can find no illness, no malady, that explains what has been tormenting me. I can’t get hyped for Marcus Smart. My hype-forming glands are still in perfect working order. This…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 19 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2015)
This video is a lot like the first album of Kelly Olynyk’s art-rock band Starcubism, entitled “Visions of Mars (Cubistic Journey Part I)”. Starcubism really hit the ball out of the park with their debut effort, combining technical space-rock with lush ambient soundscapes spiced up with native American instrumentation. So how is this video like…

Did Marcus Smart and Jared Sullinger coordinate their hair or something? Both of them are sporting some kind of bleached mohawk. I’m not hip enough to know whether there is a different name for that hairstyle but I am DEFINITELY hip enough to know that I am smhing every time one of these dudes shows…
Read MoreJared Sullinger 21 Points Full Highlights (4/26/2015)
Thus a strange season for the Boston Celtics ends. Above expectations? I didn’t think they would make the playoffs, honestly I thought this was a tanking year for them. They didn’t get the “lose tons of games while not trying” thing down, but they did pull off the “cycle through endless amounts of players” part…
Read MoreLuigi Datome Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (4/15/2015)
It turns out all you need to do to get Luigi Datome to produce is to give him a starter’s role. Once you’ve done that, he turns into an angry-looking pizza-eating messiah figure, but instead of giving eternal salvation to all of mankind he just kicks all of their asses instead. The Man-Bun cometh! I…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 19 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
Normally, when a player is a horrible shooter, percentage wise, he gets called out on it by every possible source. His team’s fans, other team’s fans, the general NBA punditry (I include myself in this category), fans from his college days, his mom, everybody. So why is Marcus Smart not receiving any flak for shooting…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 15 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (4/4/2015)
Where’s Tommy Heinsohn when you need him? His commentary style is equal parts annoying homer crap and semi-entertaining old-guy rambling, but him freaking out after a Marcus Smart game-winner is just what I needed after a tough Bucks loss. Instead we get some random dude who I don’t even know who he is but I…
Read MoreJonas Jerebko 17 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2015)
It is not well-known in basketball circles that Jonas Jerebko, before becoming a world-famous basketball player, was a prominent local musician in his hometown of Kinna, Sweden. Playing guitar for the band Gorbath, he joined up with local powerhouse drummer Fredrik Bergqvist to create a pummeling assault that reached back to the country’s old-school roots…
