I had hopes that a change of scenery would further elevate Mario Hezonja out of “almost bust” status and into “decent role-player” territory. It’s easy to forget now, but he was actually sort of good at times for the Magic last year. Almost kinda consistently, too. I was making fun of the Magic for not…

Damyean Dotson 17 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Please tell me I’m not the only one who, despite knowing better, sounds out the name “Damyean” as “Dam Yeen”. I can’t help it. Teachers in school always told me to sound words out phonetically if they’re unfamiliar to me, so that’s what I’ve done, and now I can’t stop even though I know that…
Read MoreAllonzo Trier 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Not like Allonzo Trier isn’t getting a good amount of hype, but shouldn’t an undrafted rookie scoring 11 points per game in the nation’s largest media market be getting shoved down our throats constantly? The Knicks don’t have much to be really excited for (WTF is wrong with Kevin Knox come on you guys told…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 21 Points/26 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/25/2018)
26 is the most rebounds anyone has grabbed in a game this season. The previous high mark was 24, set by Hassan Whiteside, Andre Drummond, and… Enes Kanter. I’m high on Jaren Jackson, but he basically couldn’t stop Kanter at all. Even when he blocked him, Kanter just picked the ball back up (another rebound!)…
Read MoreNoah Vonleh 14 Points/5 Assists/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
Maybe Noah Vonleh’s way of staying viable in the NBA is to transform into a three-point specialist. A lot of players have done it, but not a lot of players in Vonleh’s mold have done it. That mold being the stocky, bruising, rebound-obsessed power forward type. He was four of seven from the threezone in…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay 27 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
The Knicks (bad team) just beat the Pelicans (apparently also a bad team) solely due to the actions of one Emmanuel Mudiay and one Allonzo Trier. The only points scored in the fourth quarter for the Knicks besides those two were a bucket by Kevin Knox and a pair of free throws by Tim Hardaway….
Read MoreAllonzo Trier 25 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
I’m not really a CBA expert or anything, but doesn’t it seem like Allonzo Trier has used up his two-way contract eligibility and needs to be turned into a real contract now? I’m sure the good folks at the NBA league office are keeping track of things, but maybe they aren’t. Maybe they just assume…
Read MoreNoah Vonleh 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
Noah Vonleh contributed mightily to the Knicks’ toppling of the Celtics with his slow-release three-pointers, his positively DEMONIC rejections of wimpy leprechaun shots, and, confusingly, a pump-fake-three-to-step-in-midrange-jimbo that left me feeling feelings that I haven’t felt in a long time. Is Vonleh finally breaking out? Maybe? Sort of? Does sixteen points really count as “breaking…
Read MoreTrey Burke 29 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
Okay, so it seems like Trey Burke is done with the headband for good. That means we can no longer compare him to Allen Iverson. If you want to continue comparing him to Allen Iverson, go ahead, but it won’t make sense because how can you compare them if they don’t have the same headgear?…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay 16 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2018)
I don’t understand. How is a guy who shot well below 40% for his career up to this point all of a sudden shooting above 50% from the field? And don’t talk to me about “improvement” either. That’s just a buzzword for people to use when they’re making excuses for why a guy shouldn’t be…
