Nemanja “Buhjellicka” Bjelica, coming into this game, was the best three-point shooter in the league. According to stats, obviously. Not, you know, the actual best three-point shooter in the league. Only a really insane Serbophile would believe that. Bjelica was 4 of 5, 80 percent, tied with Jamal Crawford and Mario Hezonja for tops among…

Shabazz Muhammad 22 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
Good news Timberwolves fans! This was possibly your last time seeing Shabazz Muhammad in a Timberwolves jersey! If everything goes right during the offseason, you won’t have to watch him not pass the ball ever again. Well, you’ll still have to watch him whenever the team that signs him next plays Minnesota, but that’s doable….
Read MoreTyus Jones 17 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
Tyus Jones: better than Kris Dunn? Timberwolves fans seem to think so, and I can’t say that I disagree. Just look at that assist-to-turnover ratio! Everyone knows that that ratio is one of the best ways to assess the value of point guards, and Jones’ is way better than Dunn’s. It’s easy to complain about…
Read MoreKris Dunn 10 Points/16 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
I don’t have time to write a funny description story for this Kris Dunn video (TOO MANY SCRUBLIGHTS ON THE LAST DAY OF THE SEASON) but here’s a rough outline of what would have happened: Kris Dunn is in bed reading his kindle, and when he decides to go to sleep he is awakened by…
Read MoreGorgui Dieng 19 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2017)
How do the words “Gorgui Dieng 82-game starter” sound to you? Pretty darn good, right? Here’s the deal: all the Timberwolves have to do in their last game is start Gorgui Dieng at PG or one of the other four positions and that sentence will become reality. It’ll be like that time Alonzo Gee started…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 26 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2017)
Is there anyone on earth who cares that Ricky Rubio has now made 50 consecutive technical free-throws? I’m a pretty big stat-fiend, but I find that that particular stat doesn’t interest me at all. Come back to me when he challenges Micheal Williams’s consecutive free-throws record. That’s a lame one too, but at least it’s…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/6/2017)
New strategy for defending Ricky Rubio: since he is now a legitimate threat to hit midrange jumpers when you go under on his screens, why not go OVER the screen and make him drive it to the rack? He’s never been able to finish through any kind of contact. In fact, he’s never been able…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad 24 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2017)
The good thing about making Shabazz Muhammad highlights is that you’ll never have to worry about him having gotten too many assists. His season high in assists is two. Two assists. He’s so bad at passing that one of the Timberwolves commentators went in on him HARD after he charged his way into a turnover…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 11 Points/16 Assists Full Highlights (4/3/2017)
This is not very many field goals for Ricky Rubio. Only two, which means I could have left them out and the quality of this video would remain about the same. A layup, a midrange jumper (the kind he’s been canning regularly for a few weeks now), a bunch of lame free-throws, and that’s it…
Read MoreRicky Rubio Career High 33 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/30/2017)
Ricky Rubio sat in his bed, a cocoon of pillows propping him up as he perused “Soldados de Salamina” on his Kindle. It was an interesting read, but it was growing late, and he soon found himself having to reread sentences and paragraphs, his mind becoming cloudy with tiredness. He rubbed his eyes, resolving to…
