Roy Hibbert walked through the indistinct foggy realm, searching for anything that would give meaning to his presence in this place. There didn’t seem to be any floor or ground before his feat; underneath him, as above him, stretched an endless field of pinpoints of lights that had to be distant stars. But if he…

Marvin Williams 21 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2017)
I didn’t watch this game live, so when I saw Marvin Williams take a hard fall after a dunk attempt on which he got fouled (shades of Bogut vs. Stoudemire), I knew he was going to get up and score ten more points. I knew that, no matter how bad that fall looked (it looked…
Read MoreSpencer Hawes 16 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2017)
Spencer Hawes has been racking up DNPs for his entire tenure in Charlotte thanks to the untimely drafting of one Frank Kaminsky. Games like this prove he can still be a credible offensive threat if given the minutes, but there’s hardly room on the roster for one slow-afoot, no-defense, three-pointering big white guy, much less…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 22 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2017)
Such a shame that the Hornets 18-point fourth-quarter comeback came up short in the end. Frank Kaminsky was clutch until he missed a potential game-tying three with 24 seconds left by trying to draw a foul. You know the refs aren’t going to call that at that point in the game! Lesson learned, I guess….
Read MoreSpencer Hawes 18 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2017)
It may come as a surprise to Hornets fan, but there was a period of Spencer Hawes’ career where he could be considered to have played “good”. I’m thinking specifically of his 2013-14 campaign, where he averaged 13 ppg for the 76ers (who cycled through 23 [!!!!!] players that season), then got traded to the…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 28 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
ALERT ALERT ALERT THIS VIDEO HAS TOO MANY FREE THROWS TO BE ENJOYABLE ALERT That’s why I shouldn’t just look at points scored before going in and starting the highlight-making process. “28 points for Nic? Hot-diggity-damn!” I said as a cracked my knuckes, eager to get to work. He made two shots, everything was going…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 17 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
I don’t think Hornets fans are too happy with Frank “The Clank” Kaminsky’s performance so far this season. As you can tell by the nickname they have assigned to him. What, you think I came up with that one? No way. I’m too dumb to come up with such creative things. I’d be mad too…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2016)
I’m honestly getting a little tired of Nicolas Batum constantly achieving these high assist totals. We get it. You’re a point-forward. You’ve proven your point. Can you cool off on the assists for a bit? Just pretend it’s your first four years in the league and you’re averaging two assists per game like a small…
Read MoreNicolas Batum Triple Double 20 Pts/10 Asts/11 Rebs Full Highlights (12/23/2016)
Does it seem to anybody else that there are more crazy statlines this year then there have been in the past couple of season? It just feels like, to me, that we’re seeing insane stuff happening every single night. This is the 31st triple double of the season, courtesy of Nicolas Batum. That doesn’t sound…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (12/20/2016)
Was Nic Batum’s late basket against the Lakers to put the Hornets up by two a “game-winner?” When I think of game-winners, I think of shots made with no time left on the clock. In my opinion, any made shot that gives the opponent more than three seconds to get another shot off are not…
