If this performance by Victor Oladipo had happened on another night, people would be a lot more hyped than they are actually gonna be. Looking at this game through the lens of Westbrook’s 49-point triple double makes it seem not very exciting at all. In reality, we should be getting super excited for Oladipo as…

Tobias Harris 34 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2015)
So the Magic have fired Jacque-off Vaughn. Finally. It means I never get to use that clever nickname again, but I’m fine with that. Now Tobias Harris will finally be freed! Right? This game was the proof! 34 points with a new coach who recognizes his unique scoring abilities! Don’t get too excited. The Magic…
Read MoreTobias Harris 23 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2015)
Tobias Harris has struggled recently under the combined yoke of injury troubles and incompetent coaching. Oh, and the fact that he constantly wondering how he can escape to New York and play for the Knicks. I mean, the Knicks already have Carmelo. Why would they not want Carmelo pt. 2 as well? It’s like double…
Read MoreWillie Green 16 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2015)
There was a time when I thought Willie Green was an underrated player. A time lost to all about the most wizened elders, a time when peach trees blossomed on the riverbanks. A time when the Hawks had Tracy McGrady, as well as Willie Green. Wet Willie put up some decent per-36 scoring numbers that…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 27 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2015)
I think Vucevic fans are at the point where they don’t even get excited if Vooch has a game where he scores in the mid-twenties. That’s standard operating protocol for this guy, similar to Rondo getting ten assists or DeAndre Jordan getting fourteen rebounds. It’s not even news. To be honest, I’m not even hyped…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 34 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2015)
Another insane scoring game for Nikola Vucevic, another loss for the Magic. I can only imagine how bad Orlando would be if they didn’t have a 20-20 threat on the floor for the majority of the minutes. If I’m Jacque-Off Vaughn, at this point in the season I just would say screw it and let…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 26 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2015)
I’m trying to figure out how many points Nikola Vucevic would score if he was given the amount of touches, as, say, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Certainly, his efficiency would go down being the sole centerpiece of the offense, but that’s why you shoot more shots; so you can keep scoring points even while being less efficient….
Read MoreElfrid Payton 19 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/18/2015)
One of the positives of the Magic being this bad (again), is that we get to see young talent blossom before our eyes. The husks of Ben Gordon and Willie Green barely get playing time anymore, replaced by Devyn Marble and Elfrid “Elvenefrid” Payton. I don’t know if what Marble is doing could be considered…
Read MoreElfrid Payton Career High 22 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (1/16/2015)
The board was laid out in front of Elfrid Payton, the pieces arranged precisely. Across from him was fellow rookie Devyn Marble. They had taken refuge in one of the lesser-used training rooms, and thus far, had not been disturbed in their studies. “And you see here, with this seemingly obvious move, bishop G-1, that…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 33 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2015)
Doesn’t Nikola Vucevic look like he’d make the sickest pizza to you? I know he’s not Italian, but he just looks like he could assemble the dankest Chicago (or New York) style pie ever. Must be the hair thing he has going on, or maybe it’s my insatiable appetite for pepperonis. I’m struggling to continue…
