Kelly Olynyk 23 Points Full Highlights (1/9/2015)
“Forgot my shades.” Kelly Olynyk walked in to the storage room, grabbed his sunglasses, put them on, and walked out without another word. The members of Starcubism, minus their keyboardist, looked at each other. “Don’t tell me you expected that, Moonbeam.” Ferguson said agitatedly after briefly being buoyed by Kelly’s reappearance. Moonbeam wore a different…
Read MoreBrandon Bass 17 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (1/9/2015)
Brandon “I’m More of a Bass Man Myself” Bass has not shown any willingness or ability to shoot three-pointers over a career that has spanned nearly a decade.

Read MoreJames Young 13 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2015)
This may be a glaring indictment of my ability to follow NBA basketball, but I wasn’t even aware James Young was in the league. I just kind of figured that he was in the D-League or something. So, uh, yeah. What is there to say about James Young? He likes to shoot it looks like,…
Read MoreTyler Zeller 22 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2014)
There was some stat floating around that negatively framed Rajon Rondo’s impact for the Celtics. I’m sure there are a lot of stats that could do that, but this particular one revealed that his bigmen shot around the same percent with him on or off the court. Except for Tyler Zeller, who was made into…

Silence reigned in the concrete confines of room 162 at Kamloops Mega Storage, a sharp contrast to the cacophony that had been present just a few moments earlier. The remaining bandmembers of Starcubism looked solemn, except for one, who had adopted his usual serene manner. “So, uh, Moonbeam, do we have a timetable or anything…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2014)
Kelly Olynyk looked at the instrument with awe. He had imagined something like this only in his wildest fantasms, yet here it was, resplendent in its own glory. It seemed a bit out of place, here, at Kamloops Mega Storage, a far cry from the sun-dappled hillsides which he had imagined, but what did it…
Read MoreEvan Turner 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/8/2014)
Evan Turner walked out to his mailbox to get his mail. It was another cold, yet beautiful, Massachusetts afternoon. Pausing to admire the crystalline blue sky and to breath the bracing air, his eye happened to catch his neighbor’s tree, naked of its leaves but still standing majestically out of the ground. Was it just…
Read MoreMarcus Thornton 21 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2014)
Marcus Thornton walked into his coach’s office, and sat down for his one-on-one with Brad Stevens. “I know this is a little more formal than our usual interactions, but there are some things I really want to talk to you about, away from the curious ears of your teammates.” He began, looking stern. “Is this…

As the Piedmont family was being shown into the chamber, the younger boy, Jackson, started to protest, his 7’1″ frame struggling mightily against the policeBots assigned to escort them. “No, no, I’m not going! I have constitutional rights that protect me from cruel and unusual punishment!” He shouted. His mother, Michelle, looked at him resignedly….
