Somehow Richard Jefferson is still contributing positively to a team even after he retired and un-retired in the span of a few days. He’s actually not that old (36 is a lot younger than Kurt Thomas is right now) but the whole retirement thing made it seem like Jefferson was older than he was, and…

Channing Frye 21 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
Austin Carr, the “crazy” half of the Cavs broadcasting duo, seemed very subdued for the entirety of the second half of this game. I didn’t go back to see how he sounded in the first half, but I have to imagine that he started the game with his usual pep and then had it slowly…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 14 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
It’s so nice of LeBron James to offer his career-resuscitation services to all these unwanted vets. Derrick Williams, Deron Williams, Andrew Bogut, Channing Frye, Richard Jefferson, Kyrie Irving, all these players were facing the ending of their NBA careers before LeBron and James Jones scooped them up and turned them into primo role-players. All Derrick…
Read MoreJames Jones 14 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2017)
“Yo, James.” James Jones looked up from tying his shoes. “Hey LeBron.” “You gotta step it up tonight, man,” LeBron said. “I’m not playing so it’s gotta be you. All you. YGSIU.” He pronounced this as ‘igg-cee-you’. “You gotta step it up.” James was a little bit put off by LeBron’s attempts at motivational speaking,…
Read MoreKyle Korver 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/23/2017)
Does it ever seem like the league is colluding to get LeBron more rings? That’s the only explanation I have for Atlanta trading Kyle Korver, and then trading for Ersan Ilyasova even though they JUST HAD a perfectly elite three-point shooter on their roster only a few weeks prior. Either the Hawks (along with the…
Read MoreKyle Korver 22 Points/6 Threes/1 Dunk Full Highlights (2/15/2017)
Man, this Dick Vitale/Bill Walton commentating combo was pretty much totally awful/sweet. I can’t tell which. I think a basketball game happened at some point between Vitale’s ecstatic moaning and Walton’s strangely earnest ramblings. Again, it’s hard to tell. Kyle Korver scored 22 points amidst the chaos, dropping in a bunch of threes while that…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 13 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2017)
Okay. Fine. I’m willing to admit that Derrick Williams can be a useful player for the Cavs if he focuses on hustling and cutting and defense and rebounding and all that intangible stuff. Not what he was drafted 2nd overall for, but sometimes you have to reinvent yourself so you can play better with LeBron….
Read MoreChanning Frye 21 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2017)
Channing Frye hasn’t sustained his incredibly hot shooting from the start of the season, but if anyone really expected him to, well, that was stupid of them to expect. When he’s on, he represents a free assist for LeBron every time he gets passed the ball (even if someone is else is doing the passing,…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 12 Points Cavaliers Debut Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
It’s going against my better judgement, but here you go: Derrick Williams scoring 12 points in his first game donning the Cavs’, uh, blue. Before you get excited, this vid consists of three layups and six free-throws. That’s it. No D-Thrill in this one. If I see anyone post in the comments stuff like “I…
Read MoreKyle Korver 29 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (2/8/2017)
I’ve been doing Kyle Korver highlights for a long time (relatively speaking). 5 years at this point. 5 years of The Korvman splashing threes and wetting panties. 5 years of him scoring 28 points or less every single time he stepped on the court. The last time he scored this many points was a decade…
