What did I just watch? Andrew Wiggins didn’t even score 20 points tonight. Did he not know that he had a streak of several consecutive 20-point games, a streak that was vitally important to keep intact? How are we supposed to compare him to LeBron if he can’t even get seven straight 20-point games? This…

Zach LaVine 19 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2015)
Zach LaVine is going to be a good player. How can a dude with his athleticism and shooting stroke not be? Ben McLemore figured it out, and so can Zach. Just give him a little time. Time is one thing the Timberpups have a lot of. There is no pressure to win, and all their…
Read MoreAnthony Bennett 14 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Anthony Bennett has all the tools to prove me wrong when I say this: he is simply a colossal bust. He’s big, he has some touch on his jumpers, and he rebounds pretty good. If he was a late first-rounder or even a late lottery pick, people would be okay with his performance so far….
Read MoreGorgui Dieng Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2015)
Gorgui Dieng is an impressive player for a guy who wasn’t projected to do a ton on offense, and is only on his second year in the league. Until you realize that he’s already 24 (what’s that I see waving in the distance it looks like a BIG RED FLAG) and might even be older…

Night casts its cloak over Minneapolis as a light snow falls. The streetlights emanate their steady glow even as the houses of the town grow dark. With pain, comes healing. With defeat, victory.
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 27 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/1/2015)
Andrew Wiggins was training hard. It was almost like a Gatorade commercial; his body sheened with sweat, his face a mask of concentration, his muscles exerted to their limit. He was upset with the start of his rookie year. The only solution? Hard work. He needed no trainers. What could they offer him? Words of…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad Career High 30 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/30/2014)
From the dumpster fire that is the Timberwolves’ season, a dumpster phoenix rises majestically from the ashes. You can guess who that phoenix represents. No, it’s not a real phoenix, those don’t exist. Come on. You know this one. Sh… Sha… No. Not Shavlik Randolph. He plays for the Phoenix Suns, true, but he is…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 21 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (12/30/2014)
This will be the year that indicates if the NBA awards voters care about advanced stats at all. I view the Rookie of the Year race as being down to two players: Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Mirotic. Wiggins has the edge in raw stats per game. As he should; he plays on a horrible team…
Read MoreTroy Daniels 14 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (12/27/2014)
Thanks to the Warriors’ TV crew, we have no image suitable for a video thumbnail. I had to take matters into my own hands.I think it turned out pretty good. Stephen Curry is looking so sad because he just witnessed Troy Daniels hit 4 treys, and he knows his time as “best shooter in the…
Read MoreZach LaVine 12 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2014)
How many assists would you expect the “best point guard in the league” to acculumate with these players: Blake Griffin – Great finisher, adequate midrange game for pick and pops JJ Redick – Elite perimeter shooter DeAndre Jordan – Dunks everything even close to the rim Matt Barnes – Can make shots accompanied by an…
