Nikola Mirotic 13 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2014)

Nikola Mirotic stared blankly at the flickering, flashing TV in front of him. His eyes saw the pointless images on the screen, but his brain did not comprehend them. Instead, his mind dwelled, as it had for the entire preceding week, on loneliness and homesickness. Yes, the Bulls had won the Christmas game in front…

Nikola Mirotic Career High 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/19/2014)

In the previous installment of the continuing series “Watch Nikola Mirotic Score Points in NBA Games”, I detailed in the description the case for Nikola being voted Rookie of the Year. Intangibles were my main point of emphasis; he has a great set of intangibles, one of the best in the league. Now it turns…

Mike Dunleavy 22 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2014)

Mike Dunleavy lay in bed, content after another victory on the basketball court. He looked over to the vague lump that was the sleeping form of his wife, Caroline, who had surrounded herself most of the sheets in her usual manner. Dunleavy didn’t mind. A lady as fine as Caroline should have all the sheets…

Nikola Mirotic 13 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (11/28/2014)

Wow, uh, five blocks for Nikola Mirotic? Was that what Bulls fans thought they were getting when he came over from Spain? Elite shot blocking capabilities? Because that’s what they’re getting. Sign him up for the “dudes who will get a 5×5” waiting list, right behind Giannis and James Johnson. It’s only a matter of…

Taj Gibson 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/17/2014)

Taj Gibson awoke slowly, lacking the energy to even open his eyes. There was a vague pressure on top of him, a pressure which explained why he had just woken up from a dream about being ponderously flattened between two slabs of concrete. A dim dawn-light made the inside of his eyelids a soothing medium-gray…

Jimmy Butler 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/7/2014)

Jimmy Butler sat in the boarded-up, abandoned building that he used as a safehouse and looked down at the glowing blue basketball in his hands. Here was a tool that he had used to start a revolution, a weapon of his own invention that possessed such destructive power that the World Government had been sent…

Mike Dunleavy 27 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2014)

Call me optimistic, but I thought, going into this year, that there would be a battle for the starting small forward position. Two players with similar skill-sets and skin pigmentation. The incumbent, Mike Dunleavy, versus the young upstart, Doug McDermott. I was wrong. First or second time ever, I think. It turns out that McDermott,…

Doug McDermott 12 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)

I should know by now never to get excited about a good scoring performance in progress. Doug McDermott had 12 in the first half against the Magic. Things were going well, balls were going in holes. It was a prime opportunity to record his first career twenty-burger! I even tuned in for a bit to…

Nikola Mirotic 12 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2014)

Allow me to register my dissatisfaction with the Chicago “Splash Brothers” equivalent, the “Drain Duo”. Who are the two players that are contained under the umbrella of this nickname? Surely they must be established and high-performing shooters to have the gumption to craft themselves this moniker. Nope. Just Nikola Mirotic and Doug McDermott. And this…
