One field goal. Just one. One Ricky Rubio field goal in a whole three minute video devoted to his basketball prowess. It’s to the point where I probably shouldn’t even have bothered with showing his points. I don’t show the assist if some guy puts up thirty points and only has the one, so why…

Kris Dunn 11 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/1/2017)
I am still waiting for Kris Dunn to supplant Ricky Rubio as the Timberwolves’ starting point guard. That is what I was told would happen. I was told that Ricky was redundant. I was told that Ricky should be traded and Dunn should start right away. I was told that Dunn would complete Minnesota’s young…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad 22 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2016)
Shabazz Muhammad idly watched the snow fall outside his window. He had a lot of friends here in Minnesota, but sometimes he felt so alone, and never had the loneliness been more acute than it was now, on Christmas Day… Figuring he could at least be doing something productive with his time, Shabazz gathered up…
Read MoreGorgui Dieng 20 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2016)
“Dear Diary, The cursed white sand falls upon the land of Minnesota in horrific storms of white devilry. I am almost entirely housebound, so great is my fear of the devil’s precipitation. I now decline any invitations by my teammates to carouse about town, for Lucifer could command the sky to produce evil white sand…
Read MoreKris Dunn 15 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2016)
Kris Dunn was hyped up by the basketball media before the season started. Way hyped up. Way, WAY hyped up. The average fan can be forgiven for thinking that Dunn was going to be a beast from the opening tip; people were even talking about trading Ricky Rubio because of how quickly Dunn was going…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 17 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
We all suspected it at the time, but now our thoughts are confirmed: Nemanja Bjelica’s 24 point outburst a few weeks ago was nothing more than a mirage, a random aligning of the planets to produce a far above average scoring output. It wasn’t an indicator of Nemanja turning a corner, or getting more confident,…
Read MoreGorgui Dieng 20 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2016)
Here’s something to chew on: Gorgui Dieng made only 4 fewer buckets than Bradley Beal, but Beal was awarded 42 points for his efforts while Dieng only received 20. There is some serious injustice at play. I mean, I just watched the two highlight videos of those two performances, and they seemed about the same…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2016)
Does Nemanja Bjelica ever look happy? Like, ever? You’d think that these career-high 24 points would be reason to at least smile even a little bit. But no. Just the same semi-sad but mostly blank expression. Maybe he heard the Minnesota commentators ragging on him for not being a very good power forward and got…
Read MoreZach LaVine Career High 37 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/9/2016)
Does anyone else remember that pre-draft workout video where Zach LaVine was practicing his stepback jumpers, and they were all totally blatant travels? Just wondering, because these were the most ridiculous travels ever, like, did no coach ever pull him aside and say “what are you doing out there you’re walking all over the place!”?…
Read MoreTyus Jones 12 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/8/2016)
Damn man, I was making this video, and you know what I noticed? Tyus Jones kind of looks like Jabari Parker. Look at that thumbnail. That could be Jabari in the thumbnail with a couple of photoshop filters applied to him. And a photoshopped crappy goatee. For real. The other thing I noticed while making…
