This is what happens when you spend too much on big-name free agents. You end up starting guys like Sergey Karasev. This guy didn’t play hardly at all last year with Cleveland, and was a throw-in in the trade that sent him to Brooklyn. A player with those attributes doesn’t scream “starting caliber shooting-guard” to…

Mason Plumlee 21 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2014)
I give props where props are due. If someone does something good or creates something cool, I’m the first one there to say “You did pretty good, man, here are some props.” No, I’m not going to give props to Mason Plumlee for making two clutch-ish free throws. An NBA player making those things should…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 14 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2014)
What factors are causing Bojan Bogdanovic to turn into a useless lump when he’s on the road? The home-court advantage is well documented in every sport, but there must be other factors in play for his home (12-ish) and away (5-ish) averages to be so different. The main problem might be nutritional. There are likely…

Mason Plumlee: worst free throw form in the league? Possibly. There are lot of players with awkward looking forms out there, including such luminaries as Shawn Marion and Chuck Hayes. But Plumlee’s might be the awkwardest. Mason starts it off normally, but once he gets to where he’s going to release it, his left hand…

I’m going to try out something new for those who don’t have the time to watch highlight videos: text descriptions of the events contained within! Let’s see how it turns out. Who knows, maybe I’ll start doing this in lieu of the time-consuming videos. Jarrett Jack passes it out to Alan Anderson on the wing,…
Read MoreMason Plumlee 18 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (12/12/2014)
Brook Lopez is a total offensive stud, but he isn’t what the Nets need right now. They need to trade him for a ragtag assortment of four or so players, then start Plumlee. The Masonic Temple has given us several reasons why he is better than the fragile Broke Lopez: -Regularly catches lobs -Durable; Lopez…
Read MoreSergey Karasev 11 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2014)
I’m not sure I understand the train of thought that went into making Sergey Karasev a starter. Yeah, the Nets are short on small forwards right now, it’s basically him or Bojan. He’s also Russian, which is understandably appealing to the ownership. Those things should be reasons enough, but Sergey hasn’t shown anything at all…
Read MoreJerome Jordan 12 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/8/2014)
I still remember vividly the 2010 NBA draft. Such excitement. Just like every draft, there were promises of superstardom at the top. Derrick Williams? Evan Turner? Ekpe Udoh? Surefire All-Stars. The Bucks lucked into Larry Sanders all the way at the 15th slot, and I was happy. Despite the incredible talent at the top, there…
Read MoreSergey Karasev 11 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2014)
Accompanied only by the heavy clunks of his booted footfalls, Sergey Karasev walked through the nighttime streets of Brooklyn. It was nice; the claustrophobic townhouses reminded him of his childhood in St. Petersburg. He looked up. Even the moon looked the same, scattered as it was by the mature shade trees lining the empty street….
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 14 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2014)
It’s been an up and down rookie campaign Bojan “Booyah” Bogdanovic. On the plus side, he’s been getting a bunch of minutes, earning valuable game-time experience in the NBA. On the minus side, he’s not scoring many points at all, or really doing much of anything while on the court. Brooklyn fans may disagree, citing…
