Jeff Teague could hardly contain the poeticism bursting from within him. Hastily entering his apartment, he didn’t even bother to turn on the lights before walking briskly to his desk. Once there, he lit the two candles which rested upon the flat wood surface, granting him just enough illumination to begin the task at hand….

Derrick Rose 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/12/2018)
Everyone already knows it, but I’m going to repeat it so that everyone feels all warm and fuzzy inside: Derrick Rose is playing the best he has since his last All-Star season. Doesn’t that just make you feel happy? If you’re not feeling it, try to forget about the rape allegations. I’ve been doing a…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/9/2018)
Derrick Rose is averaging 19 points per game this season. That seems really high, considering how done everyone (especially the Jazz) thought he was last year, but it’s only a little bit more than what he averaged in New York two years ago. I don’t know why I have the impression that he’s been totally…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 16 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2018)
“Hey Taj, I know you’re bummed that we lost, but could you at least try to look happy?” Derrick Rose said to his teammate Taj Gibson as they sat together at a table in a Los Angeles club. “No girls want to come over here when you’re hunched over writing stuff in your little diary.”…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 31 Points/5 Assists/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2018)
Seven three-pointers marks a career-high for Derrick Rose in that category. It’s also, somewhat surprisingly to me, tied for fourth most three-point makes in a game this season. Klay had 14, Steph had 11, and Redick had 8; then, a bunch people made seven in a game, putting Derrick Rose among the elite company of…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 21 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
After Derrick Rose’s 50-point explosion a couple days ago, everybody (including me) was wondering: does this momentous occurrence mark the official return of Derrick Rose? Has he permanently regained his mojo? Will Bulls-era D-Rose reappear in Minnesota? Given that Rose took 20 shots in this game, the most on the team, my early answer is…
Read MoreDerrick Rose Career High 50 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2018)
Derrick Rose opened his eyes and was initially surprised at where he found himself. Then, as his eyes became adjusted to the scene in front of him, the feeling of surprise dwindled and was replaced by…what? Anticipation? Expectation? A lush garden path, overflowing with flowers of all varieties, stretched forward from the bench he was…
Read MoreJosh Okogie 17 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
With Josh Okogie’s nice performance against the Lakers (is LeBron or is LeBron not currently crying by himself while looking at pictures of the Cleveland skyline?), I feel fully justified in having prematurely assigned him the nickname “Okobe”. Elie Okobo does not get that nickname because Okogie had it first, even though Okobo had on-court…

Derrick Rose wandered a garden which he had never seen before. Where was he? How did he get here? It looked nice enough, with well-trimmed hedges around its perimeter, paths paved by flagstones winding through its wide array of botany, and an ornate fountain at its center. But there appeared to be no entrance or…
Read MoreJeff Teague 27 Points Full Highlights (10/17/2018)
I’m just going to go ahead and guess that Jeff Teague’s 27-point performance against the Spurs has not yet been uploaded by any other highlight channel. In an age of NBA highlights where vids are available as soon as the game is over from multiple sources, no one gives a whit about Jeff Teague. Hold…
