Whoever’s in charge of the equipment at The Verizon Center needs to turn down the sensitivity of the microphones on the basket. For real. I don’t especially like the normal commentary that comes with a game, but it gets worse when it’s obscured by dudes yelling “and-one!” over and over. Among other, less savory, things….

Serge Ibaka 21 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/4/2016)
I’m a big fan of Serge Ibaka’s new-ish “Thumbs Down” celebration after blocking a shot. Doing the finger wag was too blatantly copying Dikembe, and Ibaka is a good enough shoot blocker to be able to use his own gesture. This new gesture is cheeky but not wholly ridiculous. It’s even better when the opposing…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 20 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
What’s going on with Aaron Gordon? Is active neglect at the hands of Scott Skiles better or worse than the ill-suited role Vogel is awkwardly jamming him into? Is he taking too many jumpers? I bet he’s taking too many jumpers because Frank Vogel wants him to be Paul George. Just take a gander at…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 28 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2016)
Evan “The Fournicator” Fournier is now the sole top dog on the Magic thanks to the benching/regression of one Nikola Vucevic. Unfortunately, a team with Fournier as the top dog is probably not going to be very good, as we’re finding out right now. He’s scoring efficiently and with volume, which is all you can…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 25 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2016)
We live in strange times. When Evan Fournier first came on the scene for the Nuggets back in 2013, there was nothing in his game to suggest that he would, one day, be the #1 option on an NBA team. Even as his career progressed, I never thought to myself that he would at some…
Read MoreDamjan Rudez 11 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2016)
The lowly grunt in the video room at the Amway Center was setting up a replay of the most recent made three-pointer. He didn’t know who had made the shot, or if it was important in the context of the game, but until something more exciting happened, replays of three-pointers were a good fallback option…
Read MoreElfrid Payton 23 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (11/13/2016)
Looks like the only thing Elfrid Payton needed to get back on track after a string of poor outings was to be guarded by Russell Westbrook. The first few clips of this vid speak for themselves. Westbrook gets absolutely TOASTED by Payton, who doesn’t even look like he’s trying that hard. I guess that makes…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka Career High 31 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (11/13/2016)
Take THAT, haters. Lurking around the darkest and most disturbed corners of the Internet, disseminating your hate for Serge Ibaka/Serge Ibaka’s contract while inseminating your Fleshlight and crying. Trying to justify your misplaced ire for an upstanding NBA player by making baseless claims of age-falsification, poor play, and overpaid-ness. Yes, I have seen you and…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 29 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2016)
I hope you’re frickin’ happy. While I was making this video and writing the description for it, Thon Maker hit two NBA triples in an NBA-sanctioned NBA basketball game. And I MISSED IT. AAAAAAHHHHH! I swear, the sacrifices I make just to show you guys 29 points scored by some French dude that no one…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 19 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (10/29/2016)
Aaron Gordon wandered over to where Serge Ibaka was sitting in the locker room following a tough loss to the Cavaliers. Ibaka noticed his approach out of the corner of his eye, but also noticed his tentative behavior, so continued getting ready to leave. Gordon stood uncertainly behind his teammate for several minutes, waiting for…
