The All-Star reserves have been revealed, and Nikola Jokic is not among them. To what can we blame this seeming oversight? It is tempting to blame Serbians for not coming out in support of their man, for not flooding social media with hashtags and tweets in a large enough torrent. But they are not at…

Nikola Jokic 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/24/2017)
Attention Serbians: it is snowing right now where I am, and it is not snowing right now where you are. I just thought I’d let you know, because I’m looking outside my window right now and it’s really atmospheric and picturesque (people who leave their Christmas decorations up for way too long are da real…
Read MoreJamal Murray 17 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2017)
Just when it looked like Jamal Murray had fully escaped the clutches of his season-starting slump, he’s gone and fallen into an even deeper one. Before tonight, he had had one double-digit scoring game in the previous month, 13 points on 4 of 15 shooting against the Spurs where he chucked some shots that no…
Read MoreGary Harris 22 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2017)
It seems like people keep forgetting about my ingenious hashtag creation, #hypedforgaryharris. Does that mean it’s a failed hashtag? A good hashtag would be so memorable that it pops into your head and random times during the day. In the shower? #hypedforgaryharris. Eating a bowl of cereal? #hypedforgaryharris. Watching non-Gary Harris players play basketball? #hypedforgaryharris….
Read MoreNikola Jokic 18 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2017)
Karl-Anthony Towns was mad in this game. Mad about all the attention Nikola Jokic has been getting recently, mad that he himself is not getting as much attention. KAT was so mad that he kind of dominated this matchup of young star centers, putting up 32-12-7-4-1 versus Jokic’s 18-8-4-1-3. It is with the resolution of…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 19 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2017)
You know, after all those high-20s/mid-30s games Nikola Jokic has had recently, these 19 points just seem lackluster. Only 19 points and 3 dimes for a guy who has shown himself to be a legitimate scoring threat as well as an excellent setup man. Objectively, my brain knows that his stats were low because he…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
“Thanks for organizing this whole thing, Mike,” Nikola Jokic said to his teammate Mike Miller as they sat with the rest of their Nuggets teammates in a San Antonio nightclub. “This place is swarming with babes! Barkley was totally wrong when he implied that San Antonio chicks are ugly.” “I know, right?” Mike said, his…
Read MoreWill Barton 26 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/17/2017)
Nobody even realizes it, but Will Barton has transformed himself into a very good three point shooter in just two seasons. His first couple of years in the league, he couldn’t even muster 30% from the threezone, which is pretty much the unofficial demarcation line for whether or not you even get to shoot threes….
Read MoreNikola Jokic 29 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/17/2017)
Bad news for Jokic fans: Magic Jokson only had one assist last night. Maybe he ate a bad cheeseburger before the game or something and it made him dizzy and sick. Or his coach is sabotaging him for some reason. Anyway, there’s also good news for Jokic fans: Hakeem Olajokon had three blocked shots, which…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay 18 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (1/16/2017)
When you think about awesome point guard battles that happened/are currently happening on the sixteenth of two-thousand and seventeen, you probably think of Chris Paul vs Russell Westbrook or Stephen Curry vs Kyrie Irving. Right? Right. That’s what the people at TNT thought when they were choosing the matchups for the MLK day extravaganza. Just…
