Well, it happened again. I wasn’t watching this game, but I was keeping tabs on it, and when I saw that Big Al had eighteen points in the first quarter, I started entering the hype zone. My friends, you do not want to enter the hype zone without first taking the proper precautions. And you…

Kemba Walker 28 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/12/2014)
Is Kemba Walker just a shorter version of Dion Waiters? They’re two guys who are in love with bad shots despite having the speed and ball-handling skills to get any shot they want. They can both get teammates involved when they feel like it, which isn’t very often. Both are currently shooting sub-30% from three,…
Read MorePJ Hairston 15 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2014)
“What is wrong with the Charlotte Hornets?” is the common refrain of the nowadays NBA fan, their minds clouded by the ever-looming menace of Michael Jordan. The answer is that this whole thing could have been expected. I think the name and image change earned so much good will (as well it should have, those…
Read MoreBrian Roberts Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2014)
You watch this video with anticipation. Brian Roberts is so hot from the floor. He’s showing off his expansive array of offensive skills. He misses free throws, a rarity for the player who led the league in FT% one year, but he never gets thrown off his rhythm. The points keep racking up – eight…
Read MoreLance Stephenson 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/23/2014)
“Dear LeBron, I hope that this letter finds you in good spirits. I know both of our new teams are struggling at the moment, but what’s life without a little adversity? I know you don’t consider me a friend, and I certainly feel the same way, so you may wonder why this letter arrived in…
Read MoreGerald Henderson 18 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
After two years of suffering with “best player on a bad team” syndrome, and one year of “second-best player on a mediocre team” syndrome, Gerald Henderson found himself rejected from the Hornets lineup. This was just the second thirty-minute game that Hendo got this year, after averaging thirty minutes per game last year. Is this…
Read MoreBismack Biyombo 11 Points/10 Rebounds/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/14/2014)
I have compiled a list of nicknames suitable for Bismack Biyombo. 1. Bustmack Biyombo 2. Bismack Bustombo 3. Bismack Biyombust 4. Bustmack Bustombo 5. Bustmack Biyombust 6. Bismack Bustombust 7. Bustmack Bustombust However, none of them really captures my imagination. They’re all lacking in something…creativity? Panache? Incisiveness? Originality? So I have just come up with…
Read MoreGary Neal 17 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2014)
Gary Neal sat in his condo and smiled. His team hadn’t won the game, but he didn’t really care about that. Team success was never as much fun as individual success, and Gary’s performance had been fairly good. However, what really put him in a pleasant mood was not anything related to basketball. After several…
Read MoreMarvin Williams 19 Points Hornets Debut Full Highlights (10/29/2014)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there exist no fans of Marvin Williams. There are merely a few fans (usually of his current team), who maintain that he is a good role player. But that’s it. Do not try to persuade me of your Marvin fandom in the comment section. Nothing you…
Read MoreMichael Kidd-Gilchrist 17 Points/2 New Jumpshots Full Highlights (10/29/2014)
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has fixed (kinda) his jumper! The first offseason with shooting guru Mark Price didn’t seem to do any good, and I wondered if we would be forced to view his abominable “jumper” until kingdom come. This year, however, we were treated to some early clips on social media showcasing a totally redone form,…
