Has Jordan Crawford finally turned the corner? There was a period of time when he was one of the worst players in the league, but this year…he might actually be above average. All the difficult, ill-advised shots he takes are going in this year. As much as I would enjoy tearing him a new one,…

Jared Sullinger Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2013)
My scouting report for Jared Sullinger used to read something like this: “Big guy who likes to shoot jumpers but isn’t particularly good at them. Can rebound. Next Charles Barkley?” My scouting was totally wrong, apparently. Because Barkley could never really shoot threes. Sullinger is apparently pretty good at them.I don’t think the rest of…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/11/2013)
You know what I like is when, instead of showing game action, the networks that show NBA games have a camera on some vapid sideline reporter talking about useless crap that no one cares about. I LOVE that. In case you’re confused, I just used the tried-and-true literary technique called “sarcasm”. I actually don’t like…
Read MoreJeff Green 24 Points/1 Game Winner Full Highlights (11/9/2013)
Jeff Green concealed himself in the alleyway, nervously glancing from side to side. A mini-cooler was in his hand. He tried to play it cool, but he knew that if a cop came, he would have no explanation for why he was out here. Even if he told the truth…well, as they say, sometimes truth…
Read MoreJared Sullinger 16 Points/2 Threes Full Highlights (11/4/2013)
The Celtics have a bad situation on their hands. No, not their lack of a point guard. Well, yeah, their PG situation is pretty dire. But that’s not what I’m talking about here. This might be even worse. Their sophomore power forward thinks it’s okay for him to shoot threes. Never mind the fact that…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 15 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2013)
Kelly Olynyk is the coolest-looking dude in the NBA. He looks the part of a rock musician, and I can’t remember the last time that role was effectively filled in the NBA. It shouldn’t surprise you, then, that Kelly was actually a vital part of the Kamloops art rock scene in the late 00’s. His…
Read MoreCourtney Lee 20 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (4/13/2013)
feel bad for any player who had to play on that god-awful 09-10 Nets team. And Courtney Lee was actually the third-best player on that squad, which means he shoulders more of the shame than scrubs like Eddie Najera and Josh Boone. That must have been the most profoundly disheartening experience in Courtney’s life. Except……
Read MoreJordan Crawford 16 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2013)
There are players in the NBA who are described as “playing the game the right way”. Which leads to the question, who plays the game the wrong way? Don’t worry, I have the answer. Jordan Crawford. Whatever “playing the right way” means, it certainly isn’t chucking like a maniac and getting techs for yelling “and-one”….
Read MoreBrandon Bass 20 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2013)
There a lot of players in the NBA who can really only do one thing well. Defense, rebounding, setting screens, drawing fouls. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a well-rounded game, or even a semi-rounded game. Like Brandon Bass. He has one skill, and one skill only. Shooting mid-range jumpers. Not a bad skill…
Read MoreAvery Bradley 19 Points Full Highlights (4/1/2013)
According to Celtics fans, Avery Bradley is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. He might be. I don’t watch enough Celtics games to really know. I do remember that when he was out and the Celtics weren’t doing do good, that every loss was written off as “Well we don’t have Avery…
