Fans of Eric Gordon back in his Clippers days may remember how much of a terror he was driving to the hole. It’s easy to forget, now that he has modified his game to be a three-point assassin, that he used to have a great variety of finishing moves to go with his athleticism. Used…

Montrezl Harrell 28 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2017)
Quick quiz: in light of Montrezl “Mon-Trezzle” Harrell putting up sick scoring games on a regular basis, how screwed is Clint Capela right now? a) Not screwed at all since he is better than Harrell and will prove it when he comes back from injury b) Only a little bit screwed because he can probably…
Read MoreNene 18 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2017)
I really liked Nene “Graybeard” Nolastname back in his Denver days. That seems like so long ago, but at the same time, it doesn’t seem like he played for the Wizards for very long at all. You’re telling me he spent over 4 seasons there? No way. It was one or two at most, and…
Read MoreEric Gordon 31 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2017)
A couple years ago, I felt like Eric Gordon didn’t get the credit he deserved for being a lethal three-point shooter with the Pelicans. He was second-best in the league in the 2014-15 season, shooting almost 45 percent. And no one cared. Now, everyone cares about Eric Gordon and his routine bombing raids from deep….
Read MoreRyan Anderson 25 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2016)
Last year I made a compilation of all of Ryan Anderson’s stepback and fadeaways from the midrange area. I called it a jumperilation. It was sick. It was, God forgive me for uttering these words, Dirk-esque. And, if present trends continue, there’s not going to be another one this year. Ryan Anderson has essentially halved…
Read MoreMontrezl Harrell Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2016)
It’s official: we all need to apologize to Mike D’Antoni RIGHT NOW for ever doubting his coaching skills. Give him a superstar point guard, and he’ll give you an offense that can drop 140 points without even trying. He’ll also turn Montrezl Harrell into an offensive stud, right after doing the same with Clint Capela….
Read MoreMontrezl Harrell 16 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2016)
Montrezl “Mon-Trezzle” Harrell is another one of that class of centers who shoots 60% or better from the field because they don’t do anything that they can’t do. You can’t count on them to create their own shot under any circumstances, but you CAN count on them to score it if you give it to…
Read MoreRyan Anderson 28 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/23/2016)
These highlights would have been a lot more sweet if they depicted Ryan Anderson scoring 31 points with 8 threes, as the boxscore told me, rather than these 28 points with 7 threes, which is what really happened in real life really. Who knows, maybe by the time you’re reading this the NBA will have…
Read MorePatrick Beverley 18 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/21/2016)
“Dear Santa, You know I’ve been a good little boy this year. Since I’ve been so good, I deserve a lot of nice presents. But there’s one present in particular that I want to make sure I receive since it is so important to me. That’s why I’m writing this letter to you. You probably…
Read MoreMontrezl Harrell 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/21/2016)
Clint Capela going down with a broken leg really hurts the funness of the Rockets. They’ll still be a good team record-wise, but the Harden-Capela oop connection was one of the awesomest things going on right now in the NBA. Montrezl Harrell just doesn’t offer the same set of springs that Capela did. He can…
