When Corey Brewer started this season not on anybody’s roster, I was a little bit surprised. But only a little bit. We’re talking a miniscule amount of surprise, so small that it barely even registered on my emotional seismograph. In reality, he has never been a good player. He has been an okay player for…

Why is the Corey Brewer experiment in OKC working? I have analyzed many binders full of boring documents trying to find answers, but I have found none. Part of the problem was some of the binders were about topics like “math” and “science”, but another, and I think main, part of the problem is that…

Corey Brewer, somehow, makes sense for the Thunder in the starting lineup as a Roberson replacement. He’s been hanging around on the fringes of the NBA for years now, but all of a sudden he is a wanted cog in a playoff team. I’m not even going to make jokes about how he scored 51…

Mike D’Antoni was sitting in his office, contemplating rotations for that day’s game against the Lakers, when the power suddenly went out in his office. “Those stupid construction workers,” he muttered, referencing the construction project that was ongoing across the street. He got up to flip his light switch off and on again, but no…

Corey Brewer is shooting under 30% from three this year on three attempts per game. Normally I would rag on him hard for shooting all those shots which he clearly can’t make, but at this point I’m at the “acceptance” stage of the process. He’s basically shot 29% from three over the course of the…

Everyone has a different theory as to why the Houston Rockets aren’t performing up to expectations. James Harden this, Dwight Howard that, Sam Dekker the other thing. Blah blah blah. Those players may have some responsibility for their team’s current dire situation, but they don’t shoulder anywhere near a majority of it. No, the real…

I trust basketball-reference for a lot of things related to the NBA, but player nicknames is not one of them. For example, the nickname listed for Corey Brewer is “The Drunken Dribbler”. Now, I didn’t watch a whole lot of his college career, so maybe they called him that back then, but I’ve never heard…

DownToBuck is known for writing a lot of crap in these description boxes. Lots of it. A never-ending torrent of it. Which means, sometimes, simply by the laws of averages or something, he’ll end up being right sometimes! Like when he wrote these words near the beginning of Corey Brewer’s tenure with the Rockets: “Rockets…

This game proves without a doubt that Corey Brewer is a being synthesized out of pure hustle. After the previous night’s game where he scored 23 points and deposited fat loads of his hustle on every corner of the court, he came into this game with plenty of hustle left in his twiglike body and…

Seventeen points in four minutes? Is that some kind of record? It might be if you forget about T-Mac scoring thirteen in 33 seconds. But this isn’t T-Mac we’re talking about. This is noted crack monster and perennial MEP (Most Emaciated Player) winner Corey Brewer. This is a guy who can score sometimes, but is…
