Seeing Bojan Bogdanovic with a cleanly-shaven, completely smooth face just two days after seeing him with an unchecked furry growth on his neck and cheeks is kinda tripping me out. It’s like two different people. One looks like a clean-cut high-school basketball coach and the other looks like a hobo straight off the streets of…

Thaddeus Young 26 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2019)
Asprawl on the comfortable, but too short, hotel bed, Thaddeus Young was unwinding with some television when there was an unexpected knock at the door. “Room service!” came the muffled voice from the other side. Confusedly, Thaddeus rolled off the bed and went to answer the door. He hadn’t ordered any room service that he…

“Dearest father, The care package I received from you for Christmas was very appreciated. When I am by myself here in America, without my lovely Lucija by my side, I sometimes forget to take care of all my needs. For example, I regularly neglect to shave for days or weeks at a time, so the…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 23 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
Domantas Sabonis gave various members of the Chicago Bulls his “Saboner” in this game. Saboner-giving Instance #1: At 0:32, Sabonis gives his Saboner to Wendell Carter Jr. for the easy bucket off the strong post move and ball fake. Except it was more like his “Sabonass” than his “Saboner”. Saboner-giving Instance #2: At 0:53, Sabonis…

Myles Turner is right there in the running with D.J. Wilson for the “Player Who Most Looks Like a Roided-Out WNBA Player” (PWMLLAROWP) award. Both of them have the “ponytail high up on the head” thing which is a common look in the WNBA. However, Wilson loses points because he has facial hair. I could…

It’s hard to criticize anything that the Pacers are doing, since they’re one of the best teams in the East with what I consider to be a somewhat motley collection of players. But, just saying, if I had a guy on my team who was averaging 21/14/4 per 36 I would try and make sure…

Thaddeus Young stood on the cold street corner, his hoodie pulled tight over his face. The last time he had been here, in this dangerous part of Brooklyn, he had been in search of his next fix. Even now, after being clean all those years, he could still taste the forbidden taste of cheesesteak on…
Read MoreMyles Turner 24 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2018)
Myles Turner has had three twenty-point games in his past four outings after not scoring above that mark even once at any point during the rest of the season. His field goal attempts are also way up. Somebody must have told him, “Myles, it’s nice that you want to defer to your teammates, but you’re…

Thaddeus Young walked through the hallways of the Wells Fargo Center towards the visitors’ locker room. At every turn, he saw another thing that reminded him of the seven years where he had called this his home arena. Even some of the staff were the same, and they greeted him happily as if he had…

Due to real-life circumstances, I was unable to watch the Bucks-Pacers game live. For once, I’m thankful that real life intervened and prevented me from being a mindless consumer of sporting events, because the Pacers kicked so much Buck booty that my mood would have been ruined for the rest of that evening and perhaps…
