At the time of this writing, Courtney Lee is one of the best players in the playoffs in terms of win-shares. By this measure, Only Jimmy Butler, Stephen Curry, Marcin Gortat, and Kawhi Leonard are more valuable to their team’s success. This begs the question: why doesn’t anybody care about Courtney Lee? I’m fully aware…

Courtney Lee 18 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2015)
It’s a known fact that everybody on the 2009-10 New Jersey Nets, the team that went 12-70, is cursed. Many of the players on that team are out of the league, and those that are in the league have yet to find sustained success on good teams. Devin Harris is doing good on the Mavs,…
Read MoreJordan Adams Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
I know it was only one game, but I think the Grizzlies’ bench now qualifies as a “bench mob”. Taking a huge deficit and reducing it to four by the end of the game while scoring 40 points in the final quarter is nutso. A game that was garbage time for most of the second…
Read MoreRuss Smith Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
Russ Smith did all of his damage in the fourth quarter of this game. The Grizzlies scored forty for the quarter and turned an embarrassing blowout into an actual contest. I don’t even know how the collection of rookies and scrubs that the Grizzlies played for those twelve minutes managed to score forty, but this…
Read MoreBeno Udrih 20 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
This is a very Beno Udrih-esque performance by Beno Udrih. He has done one thing well since entering the league: hit midrange leaning-forward jumpers. His range can extend to the three-point line, but he really prefers to do his damage in the normally-least-efficient section of the court. I was hoping that he wouldn’t hit a…
Read MoreJeff Green 23 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/21/2015)
Somebody in a comment on one of my videos once accused me of purposefully ignoring Jeff Green ever since he came to the Grizzlies. I think he must have thought I was a Celtics fan or something. I know I shouldn’t even read those stupid things, but once in a while there’s an opportunity to…
Read MoreJaMychal Green 13 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2015)
I knew it! I knew that when JaMychal Green scored 8 points back when he was the Spurs, that I should withhold highlights until he did a little better. What faith I had in him, that he would eventually reach double digits in scoring for an NBA team. My confidence pays off! 13 points is…
Read MoreJordan Adams 13 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2015)
This is only the 18th appearance of the season for Jordan Adams. The contending Grizzlies have no place in the rotation for a rookie shooting guard. Except, maybe they do! Their bench is pretty bad when it comes to people who can go out and score you points. Vince Carter would fit the bill except…
Read MoreBeno Udrih 15 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/26/2015)
It’s nice to see that Beno Udrih’s midrange game is still on point. He wasn’t the most enjoyable player when he was with the Bucks, but you could always count on him to make a couple awkward-looking elbow jumpers per game. Unfortunately his range doesn’t really extend out to three-point line, which limits his effectiveness…
Read MoreJeff Green 21 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/16/2015)
The Boston Celtics did a great disservice to OCD people everywhere when they traded Jeff Green to the Grizzlies. Now, Jeff’s last name no longer matches the color of his jersey; there is no green anywhere on the Memphis uniforms, not even their alternates. Is Vander Blue still in the D-League? That would have been…
