Real talk coming up: it sometimes still surprises me how good Bojan Bogdanovic actually is. 16 PPG on 50% shooting? Almost 50% from three? Coming from a guy who looks like he should be coaching right now instead of playing? It’s crazy. Every time I see his balding head, unkempt neckbeard, and chubby, rosy cheeks,…

Myles Turner 26 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/10/2018)
Attention pizza purveyors: if you offer pesto as one of your toppings, you should put in big letters next to its location in the list “WARNING: MAY OVERPOWER THE ENTIRE REST OF THE PIZZA WITH ITS BASILINESS”. At my old pizza place (RIP), I liked getting pesto with pepperoni. That’s it. Two toppings, and it…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 20 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)
There was a time not too long ago when a twenty-point game by Thaddeus Young was not only an expected occurrence, but a common one. In the 2013-14 season, his last with the 76ers, Young scored twenty or more points 29 times. This year, nearly a third of the way through the season, he’s only…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 26 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)
Bojan Bogdanovic: number one option on the Pacers since Victor Oladipo got injured? I’m not sure if the concept of “number one option” exists on the Pacers right now, but if it does, I’m just going to go ahead and say that he is it. Who else would it even be? Bogdanovic might not seem…
Read MoreMyles Turner 18 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
About two years ago, I repeatedly made the (then possibly controversial) observation that Myles Turner might be better than Jabari Parker, and that he was the one I would choose if forced to pick between the two. That was during the 2016-17 season; how are things different now? Neither one is playing as well as…
Read MoreDarren Collison 23 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
Darren Collison is currently in the process of ruining my life. Do you think I want to be here making a cruddy little highlight video for him? Heck no. I find him as bland and uninteresting as the majority of NBA fans. Nothing about him arouses any excitement in me. He is the most generic…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 27 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2018)
In this year’s hotly-anticipated “Bogdanovic Battle”, Bojan Bogdanovic and Bogdan Bogdanovic battled it out for supremacy on the basketball court. It was an exciting contest to be sure, but who came out on top? With truthity and honestfulness on my side, I will look at the facts as they appear in this particular corner of…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 20 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2018)
5 of 6 from three now for Domantas Sabonis on the year. I’m not even going to pretend that’s a good thing. It would be, if it was over a one or two-game span. But over the whole season so far? It means that he’s either not utilizing his skills as well as he can,…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Not to sound needy or ungrateful, but can we get some of the old three-point shooting Domantas Sabonis mixed back in with this new version? He was only that way because Wesbrook made him stand in the corner and be marginalized, but it was valuable experience that he is now failing to use. He’s 4…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
The term has been used in the past I’m pretty sure, but I’m not aware of any current NBA duo (or WWE tag-team… team) using the nickname “The Ivory Towers”. So I’m just going to go ahead and give the devastating combo of Doug McDermott and Domantas Sabonis that collective moniker. It’s perfect, because they…
