I know I often speak in hyperbole when it comes to such things, but is this not a top ten most anomalous scoring performance so far this season? Moe Harkless wasn’t even averaging five points per game before he did this, even though he’s one of the main Blazers bench guys. I was starting to…

Maurice Harkless 18 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2017)
Moe Harkless is having the best season of his career, statistically. He’s scoring at a higher rate and at higher percentages than he ever has before, and while the Blazers aren’t having as much team success as one would hope, I’m sure Lillard and McCollum appreciate having a guy on their team who isn’t utterly…

I didn’t even realize it was happening, but Moe Harkless has turned himself into somewhat of a scorer, and is the third-leading points-getter on the Blazers. You can’t yet call him a “go-to scorer”, and you probably can’t even call him a “scorer” since he’s only getting thirteen points per game, but you could call…

I never thought I’d say this, but I miss Mike & Mike, the old Blazers commentators. They were homers to the most homerific extent possible, they had no knowledge of the NBA outside of Portland, and the older one was definitely showing signs of Alzheimer’s, but at least they never said stupid things like “Mo…

I’m still mad at how easily the Orlando Magic gave up on Mo Harkless. That was a while ago now, so my timeline may be all bungled up, but I’m pretty sure Jacque-off Vaughn was involved in some way. “Oh, sorry Mo, you’re not producing because we’re not giving you any minutes at all, wow…
Read MoreMaurice Harkless 21 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (10/27/2016)
Moe Harkless is carving out a niche for himself as a hustly-type small forward who can’t really shoot but can score around the basket sometimes and throw down sick slams more than sometimes. If the Blazers ever want to be contenders with Lillard and McCollum, they’ll probably need to find an upgrade for Mo Flow,…

It seems like every game now, somebody on the Blazers is overachieving. First it was Plumdog Millionaire playing like prime Bill Walton, then it was Aminu playing like prime Rashard Lewis, now it’s Moe Harkless playing like prime Moe Harkless instead of the passive version of Moe Harkless who you sometimes get. The only person…
Read MoreMaurice Harkless 20 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (4/5/2016)
I can say “5 dunks” in the video title as much as I want, but that’s not going to change the fact that none of the dunks was especially heart-pounding in nature. Moe Harkless has been a very frequent dunker when he gets minutes (JACQUE VAUGHN I’M COMING FOR YOU) but the quality of his…

The ESPN-provided commentator for this game can’t stop talking about the potential that Moe Harkless allegedly possesses. I think this happened once before for a national game. It was probably the same guy. On that occasion, the commentator brought up St. John’s at least twice and in general seemed to have an enormous boner for…

Neil Olshey, hearing his phone ring, took a moment to steady himself before answering. “Neil Olshey speaking.” “Hi Neil. It’s Rob Hennigan from the Magic. Hey, have you been crying? Your voice is all wavery.” “Allergies,” Neil responded, gazing longingly at a framed picture of LaMarcus Aldridge which sat in the middle of his desk….
