Josh McRoberts opened his eyes to find himself in a dimly-lit arena. The court bore no team-specific insignia, and there was nobody in the darkened stands. “Not this dream again,” he groaned, eying the basketball that sat at center court. “I know what’s going to happen when I pick up that ball. It’s going to…

Gary Neal 16 Points Full Highlights (4/28/2014)
Gary Neal relaxed in his Charlotte apartment. The season was over, the playoffs had passed, and there were no daemonic avatars tormenting his thoughts and offering advice on shot-selection. The trade from Milwaukee had done wonders for his mental health. His team may not have won, but he got to put up a bunch of…
Read MoreChris Douglas-Roberts 17 Points Full Highlights (4/26/2014)
Is anyone watching this series anymore? Was anyone watching it ever? Heat fans must be bored of this whole playoff thing by now. Bobcats fans are assuredly just waiting for this season to end so they can be the Hornets again. And with all the other great playoff series going on this one is just…
Read MoreGary Neal 17 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2014)
I still don’t know what the Bobcats were doing when they traded Ramon Sessions and Jeff Adrien for Luke Ridnour and Gary Neal. I guess it worked, cause they are a playoff team and the Bucks really aren’t, but them trading for two of the causes of the Bucks’ awfulness is strange. And it’s not…
Read MoreChris Douglas-Roberts 18 Points Full Highlights (3/31/2014)
Chris “Rewritable” Douglas-Roberts is a bench player for the Charlotte Bobcats. This is a significant step-up from his previous role, which was “out of the league”. He was good for like a month with the Nets and maybe 2 or 3 games with the Bucks, but after that he just kind of died. Maybe he…
Read MoreJosh McRoberts Career High 24 Points/6 Assists/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/28/2014)
When he’s not pleading with you to join his commune or offering to let you try one of his handmade hemp headbands, Josh McRoberts is probably the best passing bigman in the game. Not only that, his three-point game has evolved to the point where he no longer passes up wide-open looks. The Bobcats use…
Read MoreGary Neal Bobcats Debut 15 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2014)
Gary Neal is not the kind of player that fits very well on a rebuilding team like the Bucks. Of course, they signed him with the intent of making some noise in a weak Eastern Conference, but only after it became apparent that that wasn’t happening, did they change course and claim it was a…
Read MoreAl Jefferson 29 Points Full Highlights (2/19/2014)
My arms are all tingly, as if pricked by hundreds of tiny, invisible pins. My heart rate is elevated. My hands, clammy and weak, are no longer nimble enough to type with any speed or accuracy. I can’t sit still, but when I get up and move, I’m tired. I try to focus on a…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 22 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/11/2014)
Anthony “Tollbooth” Tolliver is shooting 45% on threes this year. That’s pretty good. In fact, that’s really good. However, these accomplishments have failed to get him any closer to making the casual fan aware of his existence. He would have to change his name to “LeBron Tolliver” and dunk it about a million times as…
Read MoreJosh McRoberts 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/17/2014)
Craziest stat of the year: Josh McRoberts is third in assist-to-turnover ratio, after Chris Paul and Jose Calderon. The next 18 players on the list are all point guards. He’s like LeBron without the turnovers. I don’t even know. He didn’t show above-average playmaking ability at any point in his career up until now. And…
