I don’t care if he “impacts winning” or “defends” or whatever other apologetic (not the “sorry” kind of apologetic but the “theology” kind of apologetic) crud Raptors fans want to spew in my face, but Marc Gasol just isn’t impressing me as much as Jonas Valanciunas now that they’ve switched teams. Their roles are different,…

Justin Holiday 22 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
The Grizzlies’ trade for Justin Holiday in early January, their attempt to make a “playoff push”, didn’t really work out. The playoffs were not pushed. Not even close. Acquiring him kicked off a stretch where they won 2 out of 16 games, pushing them from “not really in the playoff picture but maybe” to “where’s…
Read MoreChandler Parsons 17 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
I’m thinking that Chandler Parsons is still a bit out of shape. Not only does he look like he’s out of shape, but, in this game, he was doing good things until about halfway through the second quarter, and from that point on, he only did bad things. Not-so-coincidentally, the first quarter and a half…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 23 Points/24 Rebounds/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
Here’s a question for you: how many 20-20 games have there been in the NBA this season? I’m talking 20 points and 20 rebounds here, because I know for a fact that no one has gotten 20 assists. I, apparently, have a totally warped idea of how many such games have been occurring. Warped in…
Read MoreTyler Dorsey Career High 29 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
Tyler Dorsey opened his eyes slowly to find himself in a completely unfamiliar location. He sat up in confusion, trying to remember what he had been doing before he had mysteriously turned up in this place. After a few seconds of groggy thought that didn’t go anywhere, he gave up and, instead, observed his surroundings….
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas Career High 33 Points/1 Game-Winning Missed Free Throw Full Highlights (3/20/2019)
It was easy, too easy, for Jonas Valanciunas to gain entry into the dim office building. A janitor had been outside taking his smoke break, and a quick five-thousand-dollar payment had gotten Jonas in through the building’s loading dock without difficulty. Now, Jonas prowled through the halls, the layout of which were familiar to him,…
Read MoreBruno Caboclo 15 Points Full HIghlights (3/20/2019)
There are a lot of…things…going on in Brazil right now. Maybe good things. Maybe bad things. Definitely some things that are causing political strife both internally and externally. In these times of division, what better cause for the Brazilian populace to rally around than the continued NBA successes of their countryman Bruno Caboclo, who has…
Read MoreJoakim Noah 15 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2019)
I think Joakim Noah needs to rethink his hair situation. What he’s doing right now just isn’t working from a hair-management standpoint. As you can see from this video’s thumbnail image, his hair is just flying everywhere. Most of it remains contained in his bun, yes, but there’s like a halo of hair all around…
Read MoreAvery Bradley 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/16/2019)
How did the Grizzlies lose this game? They got tons of unexpected production from a ton of places. Chandler Parsons, who was clinically dead at points earlier this season, scored 16. Joakim Noah, who emerged from a grimy alley in Paris with nothing but the clothes on his back to play for the Grizzlies this…
Read MoreChandler Parsons 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/16/2019)
Over his entire stint with the Grizzlies, Chandler Parsons has been the focus of much consternation. Both the quality of his play (which has ranged from “decent” to “below G-League level”) and his contract (which has steadily rated as a 10/10 on the albatross scale) are sore points for Grizzlies fans. I don’t blame Parsons…
