I don’t know how or why it happened, but the Heat completely booty-blasted the Wizards last night, AND they did it without Hassan Whiteside available, which conclusively proves that Whiteside isn’t even a vital part of either the Heat’s offensive success nor their defensive success. The Wizards were so thoroughly booty-bothered that the Heat even…

James Johnson 22 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)
In doing research for this description, I found out that you can watch highlights of James Johnson scoring 20 points (against the Heat, I’m pretty sure that was the reason they gave him his current contract) as a rookie for the Bulls. He looks springy! Also the guy who uploaded it has a bunch of…

It seems like so long ago that the Kings signed James Johnson to be a core member of their lineup and then he totally stank it up for them, garnering negative win-shares and having his already-iffy jumpshoot ability completely sapped out of him like he got surprise-attacked by the Monstars. Then Memphis reclaimed him, and,…

13 points in 33 seconds? What about… 5 points in 5 seconds? T-Mac, hold this L. James Johnson’s points/seconds ratio makes yours look like Joel Anthony. Johnson may not have directly won his team the game (thanks Olynyk for making that free throw!), but he was the driving force. Johnson’s late outburst was just the…

The Heat are off to a sort-of-disappointing 7-8 start despite keeping intact the core that won them so many games in the second half of the season last year. There’s gotta be somebody to blame for this seeming regression. As a neutral third-party observer I feel like I am the perfect person to apportion that…

That was not the most fun NBA game I ever watched. Good thing I didn’t pay for a ticket to attend, or would’ve been stuck there for the whole thing, glancing at my phone every three minutes wondering when I could get the heck out and rush home to make highlight vids. The neato thing…

James Johnson is one of those guys who starts off the season looking skinny and in-shape, but by the end of the season they’re tubby again. The strict training regimen of the summer and pre-season gives way thanks to the hectic schedule of an NBA season. I suppose it’s better than showing up fat and…
Read MoreJames Johnson 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/5/2017)
James Johnson is now, officially, a three-point shooter. Before tonight, he was a “guy who shoots threes”. There is a distinction, and if you don’t know what it is, I’m not going to explain it to you. Figure it out yourself, dummy. Six made threes is the official delimiter between those two categories of players,…

I recently learned why James Johnson looks so gaunt all the time: he’s lost about forty pounds since the start of the season. The James Johnson who I had grown used to, the one with pudge all over his body, the one with a jolly face that often was being stuffed with cupcakes and cheeseburgers,…

It makes me mad that people (other than Heat fans) aren’t paying attention to James Johnson’s excellent season. Mad and angry and infuriated and livid and enraged and mad. Come on people. Johnson is basically a point forward right now which is everyone’s favorite kind of player these days, and he can barely draw a…
