Kevin Pritchard sat by himself, brainstorming ideas on a blank sheet of paper. The off-season was a time for relaxing, but it was also a time for getting ahead of your competition. Doodles for a new mascot, little catchphrases for the commentators to use, thoughts on improving the game-day experience, they were all represented on…

Damjan Rudež 13 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (1/15/2015)
I had to do this entire highlight vid with my cat, Japurri Purrker, sitting on my lap. He’s really soft and nice but he’s a little bit of a tubby kitty (just like the real Jabari) so it was a little bit of an ordeal. But he was so happy and he was purring like…
Read MoreSolomon Hill 21 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Solomon Hill walked up to Donald Sloan after the game. He looked around furtively before asking his question. “Hey man, do you know anything about…the Hall of the Thirty-Point Scorers?” he whispered. Donald started. “You ain’t supposed to know about that place,” he whispered back furiously. “Who told you?” “You know, people…” Solomon responded vaguely….
Read MoreC.J. Miles 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/2/2015)
See, I almost did it right there. I typed in 2014 in the video title. Luckily, I caught my mistake, and was thus spared the ridicule of over-critical commenters, but that was too close. Way too close. I’m losing it over here. This is just too much stress. I hope everybody enjoys watching C.J. Miles…
Read MoreGeorge Hill 20 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2014)
His phone made the characteristic “new text” sound. Not even looking down at his phone, he knew what it was going to be: another one of his teammates wondering why he wasn’t at the New Year’s Eve party with the rest of them. He had already told them that he was still recovering from injury;…

Jimmy Butler: good defender? “Of course, DownToBuck, I am content to eagerly suckle on the teat of mass-media, the teat which dispenses a supposed consensus that Jimmy Butler is one of the premier defenders in the league!” Allow me to shatter your carefully constructed and maintained worldview with the power of YouTube NBA highlights. Further…
Read MoreC.J. Watson 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2014)
Pacers color guy Quinn Buckner is perhaps the best in the league and filling up space with his words. A lot of other broadcast crews get into lulls where nobody knows what to say, but not the Pacers crew. Quinn just talks and talks about whatever comes to mind, and I have to say, he’s…
Read MoreRodney Stuckey 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2014)
Rodney Stuckey, or as I like to call him “Really Sucky”, was a fixture of the Pistons for years. He arrived too late to participate in any championship runs, so his days in Detroit are not likely to be fondly remembered. He was even the leading scorer on a couple of those teams, including 16…
Read MoreC.J. Miles 28 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2014)
The Pacers need offense from anywhere it can be scraped off the bottom of the barrel. They even scraped up the corpse of A.J. Price to see if he could get anything going. That’s how desperate they are. C.J. Miles is not helping matters. He’s in a really bad slump right now, shooting 34 percent…
Read MoreC.J. Watson 23 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2014)
The carousel of suck that is the Indiana Pacers season spins ever toward annihilation with the addition of CJ Watson into the starting lineup. Is Donald Sloan not good enough anymore? Because I thought that he played fairly well, admittedly my highlight-maker’s perspective might be distorted. I don’t remember much about CJ anymore. It’s been…
