Nik Stauskas 17 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2016)

I’m going to withhold judgment on Nik Stauskas until he gets on a team that isn’t total garbage. The Kings blew butthole last year, and the 76ers, while less dysfunctional of an organization, are also in the process of blowing butthole. There is, paradoxically, more pressure for Nik to succeed in these bad situations. Instead…

Nik Stauskas 17 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (12/26/2015)

Editor’s Note: ignore any and all occurrences of the 76ers’ commentators saying anything about Nik Stauskas and career-highs. I somehow don’t think they’re talking about him setting a new personal best in field goals made in a single game. Still, a great performance by a guy who had been rotting on the bench for the…

Nik Stauskas 15 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2015)

Good news everybody! It turns out that we can continue using my carefully crafted “nikname” for Nik Stauskas: “Nik Sucksass”! I was a little hasty in judging the nickname to not be applicable to Nik anymore. That little run of good games that he had got me too excited, thinking that he would become a…

Nik Stauskas 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/7/2015)

Nik Stauskas has been putting up some nice scoring games (by his standards) lately, this is a way better stretch than anything he did with the Kings. The casual fan might gaze slack-jawed at the boxscores and determine “Sauce Castillo is a beast hurrrrr”. An enlightened fan (like me) Looking deeper at the advanced stats…

Nik Stauskas 15 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2015)

All good things must come to an end. That’s what my grammy told me once, and guess what, she ended up dying. She was a wise woman. In this case, I’m not talking about my impending mortality or the end of my Halloween candy or anything like that. I’m talking about my carefully crafted nickname…

Nik Stauskas 12 Points 76ers Debut Full Highlights (10/30/2015)

Can we talk about how the Kings gave up on their crowd-sourced lottery pick after only one season? Yes, we can, because this is my description box and I can type whatever I want in it. Deal with it. Anyway, back to Nik Stauskas (the guy I was referencing above, Thomas Robinson can wait for…

Nik Stauskas 14 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/15/2015)

I swing my scepter of disapproval at this new nickname for Nik Stauskas. “Sauce Castillo”. I thought we had already discovered and agreed upon the correct nickname for him. Nik Sucksass. Get it? Because he kind of sucks ass right now? Instead of pantomiming stirring a jar of sauce after hitting that three, he should…

Nik Stauskas 13 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2015)

Step up your game, Kings commentators. When Nik Stauskas makes a shot, the rule is that you have to say something like “Nice to see some confidence from Nik” or “You can see his confidence growing game by game” or a similar sentiment on his increasing confidence levels. Every time he makes a shot. If…

Nik Stauskas 15 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2015)

From now on, I will write my descriptions expecting that the player displayed will read them. Nik Stauskas is a really rad dude. He’s Canadian, which accentuates his radness, creating another rad facet on the already rad gemstone of his life. I think he’s a good basketball player, unfairly maligned in the media merely for…
