Paul George has gone through periods of overrated-ness and underrated-ness throughout his career. He was definitely underrated leading up to the draft because he was picked 10th instead of 1st. Then, he actually played well his rookie year, causing Pacers fans to overrate his potential even though he hadn’t shown all that much. This potential…

CJ Watson 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/27/2013)
Remember when CJ Watson was good? Don’t lie to me. You don’t remember. CJ Watson was never “good”. He has resided squarely in the state of “okay” for his entire career. He’s probably one of the most anonymous players in the league, except for Bulls fans who wish he would come back and be their…
Read MoreLuis Scola 17 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2013)
“Hey Luis, I was wondering if we could talk about something.” “Sure, Roy, what is it?” “Well, I was reading about this on the internet, and I knew I needed your opinion on it. What do you think about the situation surrounding the… Falkland Islands?” Luis froze. “What did you say?” “I was just wondering…
Read MorePaul George 31 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2013)
“Paulie, honey, your girlfriend is here,” Paul’s mom yelled from the kitchen. Another shot right through the net. Swish. “Tell her I’m busy.” He lined up another one: nothing but bottom. “But, Paulie, dear, it’s prom night. You gotta take Sarah to the prom, remember?” Paul did remember. But prom wasn’t important. Basketball was important….
Read MoreLance Stephenson 22 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2013)
The tension in the courtroom is palpable. Lance Stephenson fidgets in his seat as he awaits the judgement. Seven of his baby mamas sit in the gallery, some dabbing their eyes with tissues, and some browsing the TMZ website on their phones. Stephenson’s lawyer looks calm and composed in his perfectly tailored suit. The judge…
Read MoreC.J. Miles 22 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2013)
Listening to Austin Carr do commentary is like listening to the chatter of fifteen nursing-home patients watching basketball on the common-room TV. He might understand the game, but nothing that comes out of his mouth makes any sense. If he was a radio commentator, you would not have any idea what was going on in…
Read MoreLance Stephenson 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/29/2013)
A new NBA season. The landscape of the league has shifted so. Stars and scrubs alike shuffle themselves into new, heretofore unseen arrangements. The annual influx of starry-eyed and stone-handed rookies who yearn to prove. Yet as much as some things have changed, others stay the same. Like the Pacers. You know, that cool upstart…
Read MoreLance Stephenson Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (5/18/2013)
“Lance…Laaance…” Lance Stephenson awoke with a start. Had somebody been calling his name, or had that been part of his dream? He was just about to fall back asleep when he heard it again. “Lance…I’m down here, Lance.” Lance felt his heart rate jump. Unless he was losing his marbles, there was a voice emanating…
Read MoreD.J. Augustin 16 Points Full Highlights (5/5/2013)
It’s really weird to think of DJ Augustin as having been a starting point guard. Granted, it was with the Bobcats, but his play with the Pacers hasn’t indicated that he can be any good at all. I know that a lot of Pacers fans (like all 10 of them, oh, burn) were calling for…
Read MoreDavid West 24 Points Full Highlights (5/1/2013)
Why don’t you guys like David West? He’s good! He has post moves. Don’t you like post moves? Well you’re gonna learn to like him because DownToBuck has just acquired a cherry picker. And you know what I’m currently doing in it? I’m sitting in it. It’s raised to its highest extent. And I’m not…
