I’ve always loved Jarrett Allen, but I found out recently that my love for him wasn’t maximized. There was still a little bit of extra love I had left to give to him. What spurred this sudden generosity from heart so cold that it gives my lungs freezer burn? It turns out that Allen likes…

D’Angelo Russell 28 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2018)
Here’s the deal: I just checked Wikipedia and it says, and I’m paraphrasing here, that there are “a whole frickin’ ton” of people living in the New York City metropolitan area. Just so many human beings, and you know what? I bet most of them have some way to vote for the All-Star game. Maybe…
Read MoreDeMarre Carroll 20 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
DeMarre Carroll is probably worse now than he was when he was known affectionately as part of the “Trash Brothers” duo (with Patrick Patterson who also sucks even worse now) in Toronto, but he’s receiving about 5 percent of the criticism. Obviously, the situations are way different. In Toronto, he got paid a ton of…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
I want the Nets to make the playoffs. I want them to be good again, so long after Billy King went all in for a championship, after he mortgaged their entire future and then some. I still don’t think they have any first round picks for the next decade, but they’re making it work this…
Read MoreJoe Harris 21 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2019)
In a fair and just world, the three-point shootout over All-Star weekend would simply be the 8 best three-ballers in the league by percentage. No popularity contests, no meme Euro players unless they earned it, no Allen Iversons stinking it up, just the best of the best from the NBA. Right now, the top 8…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 22 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (1/2/2019)
This D’Angelo “Dan-Jello” Russell performance, of 22 points and 13 assists, is eerily similar to his performance on December 18th, 2018 against the Lakers. In that game (which was probably a REVENGE GAME, if we’re being honest here), D’Angelo again had 22 points and 13 assists. Crazy coincidence, right? Wait, it gets even crazier: he…
Read MoreKenneth Faried 21 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2018)
Let’s just ask the question that everyone is wondering the answer to: what’s so wrong with Kenneth Faried that he can’t even get pity minutes for the Nets? Just for the record, I don’t have the answer. Maybe someone else does, like the Nets coaching staff, but I sure don’t. He still looks like a…
Read MoreShabazz Napier Career High 32 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/29/2018)
Shabazz Napier’s near month-long string of DNP’s and low-minute appearances coincided with his Nets unexpected winning streak. That winning streak ended last game; Napier’s DNP streak ended tonight in startling fashion, with him scoring a career-high-tying 32 points, drawing tons of free throws like he was some sort of good player who has earned the…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 33 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2018)
New Year’s resolution for D’Angelo Russell: develop some god-damn consistency. I’m so serious about my desire to see him be consistent that I prefaced it with a “god-damn”. This is not just a vague thought that I have, that maybe it would be kinda cool if he didn’t score 35 one game with a bunch…
Read MoreJoe Harris 27 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (12/26/2018)
The jubilation that the Nets commentators should have had for Joe Harris and his game-winner was ruined by whoever the clock operator is for the Brooklyn Nets. I don’t know if they’re a league employee or a team employee, so I don’t know who gets to mete out the punishment, but one thing I do…
