I admit, when I first watched mixtapes of some up-and-coming young prospect named Austin Rivers, I thought about how cool it was that a white dude had such sick handles. I didn’t even know he was Doc Rivers’ son. I’m so embarrassed (and racist). Not embarrassed enough to withhold that anecdote, though. Now Austin Rivers…

J.J. Redick 26 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2015)
J.J. Redick just broke the Clippers franchise record for single-season three pointers made. That’s cool. I’m happy for him. Really. Yeah, it’s no big deal but I also kinda just broke a record. And it’s way cooler than J.J.’s stupid record. I ate two Hot Pockets in under a minute. Pepperoni flavor. BOOM. The rules…
Read MoreHedo Turkoglu 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/18/2015)
I thought Hedo Turkoglu was done for sure. Like, doner than Kobe Bryant. That’s how done I thought he was. You can go back to two seasons ago he still looked like he was all out of gas, and even large amounts of bull shark testosterone injected directly into his nads couldn’t give him the…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 22 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2015)
Those who thought that Austin Rivers had turned a corner after his 28-point explosion a few weeks ago were surely disappointed with his followup performances. A combined 9-for-36, 25 percent, over the next 6 games. Yet he still continues to earn minutes, and I don’t even think it’s nepotism in this case. The Clipper’s depth…
Read MoreJ.J. Redick 26 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2015)
J.J. Redick’s previous career high in attempted field goals was nineteen. This game, he attempted 27. So, my question is, what kind of twitter insult was he faced with in order for him to go out and try to prove himself so vigorously? It could be any one of these: Carl Dixon @cdix420 – Mar…
Read MoreAustin Rivers Career High 28 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/21/2015)
“Daddy, what’s the D-League?” Doc Rivers looked up from his newspaper. His son had hardly touched his cereal, aimlessly stirring it around with his spoon. “The D-League?” “Yeah. Some kids on the bus yesterday were making fun of me. They were saying ‘Austin is going to be such a bust! He’s going to get way…
Read MoreC.J. Wilcox 10 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2015)
I have not gotten far in my quest to accumulate intelligence on CJ Wilcox. I’ve gotten to the point (but no further) where I now realize that he is not the awful Chris Wilcox, who really sucked. Despite my newfound clarity on the state of Wilcoxes in the NBA, CJ remains at a disadvantage. He…
Read MoreMatt Barnes 26 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2015)
The Clippers commentators, when they weren’t yelling “BINGO” at maximum volume into their mics, repeatedly mentioned how this game was a homecoming for Matt Barnes, who went to high school in Sacramento. They kept saying it like it was a good thing. If you’re a professional basketball player, going back to your hometown is like…
Read MoreDeAndre Jordan 17 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/14/2015)
“Dear John Skipper, I know that you guys over at ESPN appreciate me and the team that I play for. How could you not, when our endless showcase of alley-oops and power-jams brings untold thousands of viewers to your various content offerings? Let’s be honest here: if me and Blake Griffin didn’t exist, ESPN would…
Read MoreMatt Barnes 18 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2015)
You see that thumbnail? Where Matt Barnes looks disbelieving? That’s my face when I realized that Vucevic had 34 on fifteen made shots and neither GD nor Dawk Ins did highlights yet. Gotta run!
