Anthony Davis 24 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (12/18/2013)

I’m going to be honest with you guys. When I heard that Anthony Davis was out 4-6 weeks with a fractured hand, I cried. For the first time in my life, I cried. I cried tears of mourning for the alley-oops that would never be; tears of sorrow for the displays of athleticism unperformed; tears…

Austin Rivers 17 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2013)

Austin Rivers is one of many cautionary tales about the overhyping of high-school baskteball players. We were treated to mixtape after carefully constructed mixtape showcasing young Mr. Rivers’ sick crossovers, his powerful dunks, and a sweet-looking jumper. He was supposed to be the next big thing. A surefire prospect. Some of his luster wore off…

Eric Gordon 25 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (12/13/2013)

If Eric Gordon were a shape, what shape would he be? We can rule out hexagons for sure since hexagons have six sides, and Eric Gordon doesn’t. Are there any shapes that are good at basketball? I’m sort of thinking that trapezoids would be pretty good shooters, but then again, I’ve never actually seen a…

Ryan Anderson Career High 36 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/2/2013)

Ryan Anderson is a maniac. A total maniac. This is evidenced by the fact that he’s taken 126 shots while only accumulating 3 assists. Any other player in the league does that, they would get crucified. Literally crucified. NBA fans are dedicated. But Anderson gets a pass because his shooting is otherworldly right now. When…

Ryan Anderson 31 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/1/2013)

Ryan Anderson crept stealthily through the unlit halls of Madison Square Garden, making his way to the court. He had encountered surprisingly little resistance, aside from the security guard on the roof. The Garden was very confusing in the total darkness. After several wrong turns and excursions into bathrooms and concessions areas, Anderson found the…

Ryan Anderson 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2013)

Dwight Howard has sucked (relatively speaking) since leaving the Magic. People can talk about “injuries” and “effort” but we all know the real reason. He doesn’t have Ryno anymore. Anderson is the ultimate floor spacer. You can’t leave him open for even a little bit. Even if you do guard him there’s a good chance…

Anthony Davis 22 Points/8 Blocks Full Highlights (11/20/2013)

Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals. Pelicans down by one. 15 seconds left. Jrue Holiday holds the ball at the top waiting for the play to develop. Anthony Davis begs for the ball in the right high post with Tim Duncan right on his back. He receives it. He faces up, fakes left, and…

Ryan Anderson 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/16/2013)

You know that trade rumor that’s been floating around for months, where Ryan Anderson gets traded for Omer Asik? I don’t normally comment on trades because I don’t really understand the CBA, but I am offering to you my unfiltered opinion of that trade idea. It is horsey crap. Why would the Pelicans need Asik?…

Jason Smith 22 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/10/2013)

Remember the glory days of useless white centers back in the 80’s and 90’s? So many big men with no athleticism or ability. Sure, we have a few such players in today’s NBA: Spencer Hawes, Cole Aldrich, Joel Przybilla (RIP in peace), and Kelly Olynyk are just some of the white dudes who either can’t…

Anthony Morrow 16 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2013)

It baffles me how Anthony Morrow got almost no playing time last year. It was only a year previous where he dropped a 40-burger with the Nets. But apparently neither Dallas nor Atlanta had any use for one of the league’s best three point shooters. But the Pelicans have a use for him, since most…
