Kyle Anderson fits into an archetype that is rare to find in the NBA: a stat-stuffing player who doesn’t really stuff the stats. He’s capable of scoring, rebounding, assisting, stealing, and blocking, and he often does all of those things in a single game, but never at a volume that is really notable. A 10/10/4/2/2…

Joakim Noah 13 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)
Joakim Noah is back! I don’t if he ever really “left”, because he didn’t actually miss a whole season, but it had certainly been a while since we saw him. He had played actual minutes as recently as January last year for the Knicks, and we’re not even out of 2018 yet, so it’s not…
Read MoreJaMychal Green 19 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2018)
JaMychal Green has got to be one of the more anonymous “good” players in the league. He’s a totally acceptable starter-quality power forward. He can dunk, he can rebound, and he added a three-point shot a few years ago that has worked out nicely for him. Like a black Ersan Ilyasova without the charge-drawing ability….
Read MoreJaren Jackson Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
It’s funny, the Memphis commentators had the distinct tone of “let’s wrap up this game with some statistical tidbits because there’s no way we’re going to win this one” which switched right into “frenzied excitement due to the un-freaking-believable nature of the happenings occurring before our eyes” as Jaren Jackson hit a three while getting…
Read MoreMarc Gasol 27 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
The giant, bearded man sat on the slimy stone floor of his dungeon cell, back resting uncomfortably on a cell wall composed of uneven, rough-cut stone blocks. There was no light apart from the faint dimness that filtered in through the small, barred window in the cell’s door. It was just enough to see by,…

King DTB sat at his throne, projecting an image of calm confidence, but inside his heart, he felt neither calm nor confident. Banishing the man called Marc Gasol to the dungeons had been a necessary step, taken to ensure that his rule over Deeteebeenia would remain steady, but the man’s brash impudence had left its…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 16 Points/7 Blocks Full Highlights (11/25/2018)
The Memphis Grizzlies blocked a lot of shots tonight. 10 of them. The most any team has blocked in a long while. They still lost, to the Knicks, somehow, but it wasn’t for lack of effort (except from Mike Conley, who didn’t block any, lazy bum). I don’t have numbers on how many of them…
Read MoreMarc Gasol 27 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
The giant, bearded man followed behind the gatekeeper, struggling to shorten his strides to match those of the much smaller man. “This King DTB of whom you speak must not be a very wise king, if he would allow a man such as myself into his realm unscrutinized,” he commented. The old gatekeeper shrugged. “He…

Attention Grizzlies: you are not supposed to be a good team. Please cease winning games immediately. Grit N’ Grind is over, Zach Randolph is a lump-shaped DNP-magnet over in Sacramento, and you were way more fun to watch when Xavier Rathan-Mayes was running the show. I got attached to some of the scrubs they were…
Read MoreMarc Gasol 26 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2018)
Brook Lopez is getting a lot of love for being a three-splashing center, but what about some love for our boy in blue? He doesn’t have quite the same volume, and his threes aren’t as deep, but his conversion rate is about the same at a very good 43 percent. Normally when I compare players…
