The Hornets finally got another win after winning only one of the previous eight games, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist did his best to shed the fairly-applied “bust” label by going 8-of-9 from the field and achieving the not-so-coveted “4×4” (reaching a total of four in four different stats, much easier than a 5×5). I totally didn’t…

Treveon Graham 12 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
Staring at my computer screen with annoyance, I pick up my phone and hit the first number on my speed dial list. When the call is answered after just two rings, I don’t even allow the answerer to give his customary greeting. “Sup Adam,” I interrupt. “You probably know why I’m calling.” There’s a sigh…
Read MoreMarvin Williams 17 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
I thought that the Hornets would be a solid .500 team this year, but even Marvin “W-Marv” Williams’ 45% shooting from tripletown can’t drag them to better than a 9-15 record. Their overtime loss to the Bulls, who are awful, would seem to indicate that playoffs should no longer be an option for Buzz City….
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 24 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
The problem with drafting project players, and the Thunder found out, is that they sometimes take a really long time to develop. You can devote all your resources, give them the opportunities, and sometimes it just takes them five or six years to contribute majorly to winning basketball. Often, you will have moved on long…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 24 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2017)
Last time I made a Frank Kaminsky highlight package, I basically got down on my knees and serviced him with my mouth, talking all about how good he was this season and how nice his offensive game looked, all sorts of stuff that is now super embarrassing for me. Because right after that last good…
Read MoreMichael Kidd-Gilchrist 22 Points/5 Jumpshots Full Highlights (11/15/2017)
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist’s jumpshot form is still totally borked. I think it’s as borked as it was when he came into the league, maybe a little better. Remember when Mark Price fixed it? I bet as soon as he left the gym Kidd-Gilchrist automatically reverted to his old ways. Nothing to be done about it now….
Read MoreMalik Monk 21 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
I’m digging this trend of rookies being the most aggressive shooters on their team. First Donovan Mitchell, now Malik Monk. Monk took 17 shots tonight, one more the Kemba Walker, which is absolutely messed up and should never happen. Love it though! I know what Walker is at this point, but I don’t exactly know…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2017)
“Yo, man, didn’t you try this last year? You know no one wants to be in that crappy band of yours.” Kemba Walker said incredulously. “That’s not what your mom said last night.” Jeremy Lamb responded absentmindedly, not turning from his current task, which was affixing fluorescent pink printouts on the Hornets’ team bulletin board….
Read MoreDwayne Bacon 18 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2017)
In the interest of bringing only the original-est, most entertaining content to my video descriptions, I promise not to ever use the adjective “sizzling” when referring to Dwayne (finally someone who spelled it correctly) Bacon. Not once, over the whole year. It would be so easy, just incredibly easy, to say it when he has…
Read MoreMalik Monk 25 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
Malik Monk chose tonight to go off for the first time in the NBA, even though he knew how much pain that would cause Bucks fans. He knew about the suffering that he would inflict should he shoot and make a bunch of crappy threes that don’t even deserve to hit rim, but he did…
