Prior to tonight’s game, Ray Allen was shooting almost exactly 40% from three on his career. Just a sliver over. If he had made 1/5 of a three less and it would be perfect. And with the volume of those shots that he’s taken over his career, that kind of efficiency is pretty amazing. Stephen…

Michael Beasley 24 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
I don’t get what went wrong with Michael Beasley. His first few years in the league were fine. Maybe not as amazing as people hoped after all the college hype, but fine. Then he got put in the doghouse in Minnesota and still hasn’t emerged. I know he’s a bit of an airhead and isn’t…
Read MoreGreg Oden 8 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (3/1/2014)
Am I the only one who can barely stand watching the Heat? But not because of the usual reasons why I can’t stand the Heat, like their football-snap opening or their dumb video-bombing. Or Dwyane Wade. But because I know, one day, I’ll be watching as Oden skies for a rebound and comes crashing down…
Read MoreChris Andersen 18 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
Chris Andersen lay flat on his back. The dirt from the ground in his backyard was dirtying his already grimy shirt. He stared at the sky in wonderment. How had he never noticed before? Above him were birds. He didn’t know what kind they were, other than “the little ones that sit on power lines…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 16 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2014)
One of the minor storylines earlier in the year was the redemption of Michael Beasley. You all know the deal with Beasley and his problems (drugs), so I’m not gonna rehash it for you. But Beasley was having a great start to the year while shooting great percentages. But everyone knew that his hot start…
Read MoreChris Bosh 25 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (1/18/2014)
One of the common online tropes for Chris Bosh is that he is secretly a dinosaur. Posting pictures of NBA players as kids? Here’s a picture of that raptor-hatching scene from Jurassic Park. Talking about the oldest players ever to play professionally? Bring up the fact that Chris Bosh is 65 million years old. These…
Read MoreGreg Oden 6 Points/2 Dunks Heat Debut Full Highlights (1/15/2014)
Greg Oden looked warily down at the ground two stories below him. He and Brandon Roy stood on the roof of Oden’s fancy suburban house, with Oden himself holding a pogo stick. “Yo, Brandon, you sure this is a good idea? Cause it doesn’t feel like a good idea to me.” “Stop being a wimp,…
Read MoreRoger Mason Jr. 12 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2013)
A look into the mind of a rational official NBA scorekeeper: “The ball was just changed hands. Okay, the receiving player is dribbling, he’s doing a lot of work to get this shot, and…it goes in! Two points for him, but no assist since the passer didn’t really do anything to set up the shot.”…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 23 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2013)
Someone needs to tell Michael Beasley that his journey to redemption won’t be complete until he grows back that awesome fro. It’s like I’m watching a whole different player, except that he still takes the same dumb shots he always has. I’m not entirely convinced that Beasley’s shooting won’t regress back to his mean. But…
Read MoreRay Allen 17 Points Full Highlights (11/25/2013)
Ray Allen, before this game, had made 2874 three pointers in his illustrious career. That’s a lot of hot tamales! But consider this: despite his status as greatest long-bomber of all time, he had clanged on 4288 of his attempts. That’s ridiculous! I don’t get why he’s considered the best if he can’t even make…
