Next phase of evolution for Karl-Anthony Towns: point-center? Actually, let me rephrase that. Next phase of evolution for Karl-Anthony Towns: point-center. There we go. There is no question mark here. It is a statement of fact. If it worked for Giannis, it can work for Karl-Anthony. Remember, this is the dude who won the skills…

Andrew Wiggins 25 Points Full Highlights (3/21/2016)
25 points for Andrew Wiggins is great and all, but I think he came close to undoing all the good things he did tonight with that horrible game-tying attempt with 15 seconds left in the game (not shown). I mean, what the heck was that? There’s no way that a turnaround jumper while being defended…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 20 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (3/21/2016)
All you naysayers, telling everybody that Ricky Rubio couldn’t shoot jumpers. How wrong you look now. Go back to the squelching mudpit you came from and say your nays there. That is the only place your utterances will be appreciated, because it has been concluded positively that Ricky Rubio CAN shoot jumpers. One only needs…
Read MoreKarl-Anthony Towns 32 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2016)
If this was 2002, and Karl-Anthony Towns was balling as hard as he is right now (assume for the sake of example that he is the same age as he is now, though a 7-year-old KAT balling hard in the NBA would be awesome), you’d be lucky to get a postage-stamp sized clip of him…
Read MoreZach LaVine 28 Points Full Highlights (3/14/2016)
This current Timberwolves team is looking a lot like that Thunder team that came up short in the finals: two really good players (Towns and Wiggins or Durant and Westbrook) holding down another really good player (LaVine or Harden). You know what I’m thinking? Trade LaVine to the Nuggets for Gary Harris and some gently…
Read MoreGorgui Dieng 25 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2016)
“Dear diary, It lightens my heart greatly to see that, with warmth finally gracing the harsh lands of Minnesota once again, that the accumulated dunes of the cursed white sand are melting away from the ground. I am hesitant to allow hope to reside in my heart, but I cannot help myself: I believe truly…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 25 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2016)
Andrew Wiggins is what would happen if you tried to make a player that could average 20 points while having as little impact on the rest of the game as possible. He doesn’t rebound much for a guy with his hops, he doesn’t pass well, and he’s okay at best on defense. He scores. That’s…
Read MoreKarl-Anthony Towns 28 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2016)
“Where did the snow go, Ricky?” asked Karl-Anthony Towns, his face pressed against the cold glass of the window, a face framed by curtains on either side. He asked this question as if making polite conversation. Outside, the once snow-covered landscape was a combination of dingy gray and muddy brown. “It’s gone, Karl. Winter is…
Read MoreZach LaVine 21 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (3/2/2016)
Must be tough for Zach LaVine to lose the dunk contest after winning it the year previous and having been the favorite going in. When your main calling card is dunking, and someone beats you at your own game? Tough. Stephen Curry is doing alright after losing the three-point shootout, but he’s an exception. I…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad 24 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2016)
The pacing of this video is so screwed up that I honestly can’t even recommend that you watch it. That’s right: I’m uploading this video despite being unconvinced of its watchability. The reason? The entire second half of the video is free throws. Free throws and a goaltended shot. It’s not my fault though. I’m…
