Another year, another dismal Sixers squad for “Alcohollis” Thompson. True, this year’s squad is considerably less dismal than years past, but Alcohollis still isn’t going to get to experience many wins.

Hollis “All Hollis Breaking Loose” Thompson has lowkey been a very good three-point shooter over his three-year career.

“Alcohollis” Thompson really caught the attention of the Heat commentators this game. They characterized him as a “big who can shoot”, when he’s really just a “wing who can shoot” (a much more common find in the NBA). This again proves that the commentators are more for entertainment than informational purposes, but we already knew…

Hollis “Alcohollis” Thompson was in a prolonged slumpy-wumpy for the whole first half of the season. After a promising rookie campaign where he alone managed to emerge from the stinking tar pits of the 76ers organization, his shooting regressed and his role was diminished in favor of other players. DownToBuck decrees: Thompson’s long nightmare of…

Hollis “Hlay” Thompson was one of the success stories for the Philadelphia 76ers last leason. Success being defined as “not absolutely horrible all the time”. He shot the three well, and I, at least, saw shades of Wes Matthews. It’s not like I saw MJ or Kobe in him or anything, but it’s something. Sadly,…

The 76ers commentators clued me in to an interesting fact tonight: Hollis Thompson is the best rookie at shooting threes, at 39%. Out of all the highly touted shooters in this class, the best is some undrafted dude who plays for the worst team in the league. As if you needed more reasons as to…

Philadelphia’s “Armored Combat Vehicle” is unstoppable at this point. Hollis Thompson getting 40 minutes in a single game is probably beyond even Hollis’ own wildest fantasies. Other things that are in Hollis’ fantasies: -Playing for a good team -Scoring with that cheerleader Alexandria, she is so cute -Finally beating Super Mario Bros. on N64 -Taking…
