Jonathon Simmons has been in a pretty gnarly slump recently, which may have come to an end tonight, but I don’t think anyone has noticed because the Magic weren’t winning before the slump and they definitely aren’t winning during it. It’s just kind of expected on bad teams that their individual players will go through…

Elfrid Payton 27 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/12/2018)
Once again, an Elfrid Payton video ends up being way too long. Over three minutes just for a whole bunch of layups where he can’t see the rim because his hair is in the way? I’m normally fairly optimistic about the ability of my viewerbase to watch highlights, but this one is asking too much…
Read MoreBismack Biyombo Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2018)
Bismack Biyombo’s previous career high of 17 came in game 7 of the Raptors’ series against the Heat, a clutch performance that was likely the one that earned him his ridiculous contract. That performance wasn’t anything special offensively, and as you can probably imagine, neither is this one. If you were imagining something akin to…
Read MoreBismack Biyombo 14 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
Bismack Biyombo is getting paid 17 million dollars this year to average 5/5/0/0/1. Next year he’ll also be getting paid 17 million dollars. The year after that, he has a player option, which means that he’ll be getting paid another 17 million dollars, unless his agent advises him that he can get a max contract…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 13 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
Luckily I missed tonight’s Bucks game, otherwise I would have had to witness D.J. Wilson suck so bad that even the Magic commentators felt it necessary to call him out. Why do I let myself get hyped for Bucks rookies again? You can witness a small sample of his suckitude in this Mario Hezonja highlight…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 14 Points Full Highlights (1/9/2018)
Mario Hezonja has now had 10 double-digit scoring games this season. That’s how many he had last year, but these are even more double-digit than those and he didn’t take nearly as long getting them. My excitement for his newfound scoring ability is tempered by the fact that only one of those games resulted in…
Read MoreWes Iwundu 12 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2018)
“I wonder if one of those YouTube guys will make a highlight video for me,” Wes Iwundu mused out loud in the Magic locker room after the game. His mood was significantly more upbeat than it usually would be after a loss, considering that his team had just scored forty points in the fourth quarter….
Read MoreMario Hezonja 16 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2018)
Mario Hezonja keeps on looking solid. He had a little three game mini-slump where he wasn’t scoring double figures, but now he’s right back at it. At this point, looking solid on a consistent basis is a great victory for him. Whatever expectations people had for him before the draft are likely not going to…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 30 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2018)
I wasn’t watching this game, but I noticed the Magic were down by a bunch, and then all of a sudden were only down by like three points. What the heck happened there? I know Aaron Gordon did some stuff, because I actually just got done making highlights of him scoring 30 points, but it…

Do you think Mario Hezonja would punch his coach Frank Vogel in the penis if he knew that he could get away with it? Vogel, along with erstwhile head coach Scott Skiles, are the easiest culprits to blame for Hezonja’s lack of success in the NBA if you don’t want to blame Hezonja himself. Hezonja…
