The Orlando Magic have tanked so well that they have reached an unenviable position of having too many young players to properly develop them all. Andrew Nicholson and Devyn Marble might as well just stay in their beds all day for the amount of minutes Jacque-Off Vaughn will give them. But the guard situation is…

Elfrid Payton 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
Elfrid Payon, like a lot of rookies past and present, is shooting really badly in his inaugural season. His tendency to get shots in the paint blocked and his lack of a consistent jumper combine to form one horrendous field-goal percentage. His passing ability looks good, the best out of all the rookies, but when…
Read MoreTobias Harris 25 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2014)
Tobias Harris continues to have good games. He’s up to 30th in the league in points per game. Vucevic is 26th, Fournier is 41st. So why do the Magic keep losing? I have no answers, since I don’t actually watch the Magic very much (there are a lot of teams to try and keep tabs…
Read MoreTobias Harris 24 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
These are the quintessential Tobias Harris highlights. There is no aspect of his game that isn’t adequately represented herein. I actually just deleted all the rest of the Tobes highlights from my channel, even the one from his Bucks days, due to their new-found irrelevance. Deleted the backups, too. Those suckers are gone forever. Forever…
Read MoreTobias Harris 26 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2014)
It’s easy enough, as a Bucks fan, to forget about that Tobias trade by not watching any teams other than the Bucks. This goes for any team and any trade. Focus all your attention on the perils of your own team, and cast thoughts of unequal deals from your mind. Of course, there is always…
Read MoreEvan Fournier Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
Evan Fournier just keeps getting better and better. It’s gonna really suck when Oladipo comes back and we only get to watch the Ferocious Frenchman for 20 or so minutes a night. That’s the problem with hoarding a ton of young talent; you end up with a ton of guys who all want minutes. There…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 24 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2014)
Evan Fournier is in a stage of his life that many young men have to go through. He’s in that awkward phase where his hair is getting long but is not yet long enough to do anything cool with and thus looks really losery. It’s a trying time for anybody, much less a heavily-scrutinized NBA…
Read MoreChanning Frye 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/11/2014)
Channing “4Channing” Frye came into the league with comparisons of Tim Duncan on his shoulders. They do kind of look the same, and if you put Channing closer to the basket he could maybe do some of the stuff Timmy does. Only difference a few years into his career is that Duncan is one of…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 27 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2014)
I’m trying to figure out why Nikola Vucevic isn’t an upgrade for Dwight Howard. Nikola’s post moves, despite not being honed by Hakeem Olajuwon, are way smoother and more adaptable. His jumper is infinity times better, with his range extending out to maybe the three point line. Free throws? He can hit them at a…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 20 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
Even though I ragged on it while Evan Fournier was in Denver, I sorta miss their announcers saying “Un, Deux, Trois!” after Fournier made a three. To compensate I’ve taken to saying it if I’m just watching a game at home. Shouting it, really. It really adds to the experience of viewing a game if…
