Tristan “Triscuits” Thompson choked near the end of regulation, making just one of two free throws when making both of them would have obviously been better (it’s math). However, making zero of them would have been way worse, so Triscuits didn’t choke as hard as he could have. There was definitely a higher level of…

Tristan Thompson 18 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2017)
In a way, it’s Tristan Thompson’s fault that LeBron James is currently having a meltdown and telling everybody who will listen that he needs more playmakers. Not only because Tristan isn’t a playmaker himself, but because he knowingly signed a contract that paid him too much, a contract which then prevented the Cavaliers from acquiring…
Read MoreKyle Korver 20 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2017)
This video is only for the eyes of Hawks fans who still respect Korver for what he did for their team and want to see how he is doing on a new team. And also fans of the NBA in general, who enjoy basketball on its purest level and want to see one of the…
Read MoreTristan Thompson 19 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
TRISTAN THOMPSON JUMPER ALERT! TRISTAN THOMPSON JUMPER ALERT! ALERT! TRISTAN THOMPSON MADE A JUMPER! There was a time, during those dark LeBron-less years, where Tristan Thompson would sometimes, just short of regularly, shoot jumpers for the Cavs. Then LeBron came and replaced Carrick Felix (check out my highlights of that dude for a real scrub-blast…
Read MoreKyle Korver 14 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2017)
Happily for the rest of the league, the addition of Kyle Korver to the Cavaliers hasn’t propelled them to unstoppable-juggernaut-status like some feared. And despite the Cavs recent woes, he hasn’t had the opposite effect either. People are finding out what Hawks fans knew all along: Korver’s a great guy and teammate, a deadly shooter,…
Read MoreIman Shumpert 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
Iman Shumpert has seemingly rediscovered the long-range shooting touch that made him such an intriguing player in his second season; he’s now shooting 40% from three, and while he’s no longer young or intriguing, he at least can be a competent low-volume guy to complement the Cavs’ big three (LeBron, Kyrie, and James Jones). They…
Read MoreJames Jones 14 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
James “Champ” Jones is, after tonight, shooting 21 of 34 on three-pointers this season. That’s 62 percent, for those who understand how percentages work (I don’t). He is also shooting 4 of 12 on two-pointers, which isn’t as good. I guess there’s a reason he’s taken 7 times as many three as twos in his…
Read MoreChanning Frye 18 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
It’s kind of fitting that, right as Channing Frye’s reign as the dude who looks most like Obama in the NBA comes to an end (hello Malcolm Brogdon), Obama’s reign as the dude who looks most like an NBA player in the White House comes to an end as well. Poignant, even. Truly the end…
Read MoreKyle Korver 18 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
I don’t know what to think about the Cavaliers acquiring Kyle Korver. On one hand, it’s the Cavs, and it’s Kyle Korver. On the other hand, it’s the CAVS, and it’s KYLE KORVER. I’m so conflicted. Is Korver even good anymore? His first two games with his new team were pretty bad, but this one…
Read MoreJordan McRae 21 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
Jordan McRae: better fit for the Cavaliers than J.R. Smith? Let’s take a look at the facts: POSITION: Both McRae and Smith are shooting guards. Advantage: it’s a tie POINTS: McRae had 21 points in this game. Smith had zero. It’s like he was totally missing in action. Good players don’t disappear like that. Advantage:…
