You can practically feel the anxiety exuding from my selected thumbnail image. Marco Belinelli, after a made shot, checking to make sure that his hair is still there, and, more importantly, is ruffled enough to give it the illusion of thickness – to cover up the bald spot that is rapidly forming there. Marco thinks…

Nicolas Batum 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2016)
Nic Batum had fourteen points and seven assists at halftime. He was feeling it. Then he only got six more points and one more assist after both teams took fifteen-minute breaks to drink Gatorade and watch funny cat videos on YouTube. So what happened that caused Batum to drop off so hard? I’ll tell you…
Read MoreMichael Kidd-Gilchrist 16 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2016)
We’re just going to have to face facts here: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will never be a primary offensive threat for any team. Ever. To be such a thing would require having either a go-to post game or a go-to jumpshot; MKG has neither. He will be relegated to scoring garbage baskets near the rim for his…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 21 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2016)
Frank Kaminsky: 10 points per game scorer? Yes! If Frank the Tank’s season ended today, he would have averaged a bit over 10 points per game through the entirety of it. No denying it: the numbers are right there for anyone to look at. Michael Jordan is looking at them right now, and he’s smiling…
Read MoreTroy Daniels 19 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2016)
I thought for sure that these two 19-point games in a row for Troy Daniels would represent the best 2-game stretch of his career. For SURE. Like, I know when Troy Daniels has good games, and I couldn’t recall any other time where they came back-to-back. Joke’s on me, because he had 15 followed by…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 21 Points Full Highlights (11/28/2016)
“Jeremy and the Little Lambs?” Roy Hibbert exclaimed with a snort. Jeremy Lamb turned around. “Yeah. You got a problem with that?” he said as he returned to putting up bright yellow fliers all over the Hornets communal bulletin board. “I got a problem if you cover up all my pizza party notices with pictures…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 18 Points/17 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/26/2016)
I don’t normally show rebounds. Who wants to watch Andre Drummond grab a bunch of boards just by being big? Nobody. Maybe a few demented Pistons fans from Flint whose minds are addled by their lead-contaminated water. That’s it. No sane person wants to watch bigman rebounds. That’s why I no longer indicate rebounds in…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 23 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2016)
I don’t know how Zach Randolph is going to be able to look at himself in the mirror tonight. A guy with a reputation as being one of the toughest players in the league, getting toasted on both ends by a (supposedly) softie finesse player? Embarrassing. In the old days, he would have just punched…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 22 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/19/2016)
Marco Belinelli hasn’t been the same since he left the Spurs. Heck, maybe it goes even further back than that. Has he ever recovered from winning the three-point shootout? He had a brief spurt of success after that particular All-Star Weekend, but by the playoffs was barely doing anything. He was pretty broken with Sacramento,…
Read MoreCody Zeller Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)
Wow, I was about to rag on the Hornets for picking Cody Zeller (whose career high is only 23 points apparently) 4th overall, but I somehow had forgotten how absolutely garbage that draft was. My bad. Not every team drafted a Giannis that year. Whoops. Sorry about that. Zeller hasn’t been an amazing stat-stuffing type…
