Without Joel Embiid, the 76ers have lost a lot of their funness. They still have some fun players (Dario Saric, Richaun Holmes, Ersan Ilyasova[yes he count as fun dammit just trust me on this]), but they are not as consistently fun as Embiid was. Saric, probably their greatest hope for fun outside of that other…

Ersan Ilyasova 21 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
The Sixers might have lost to the Heat by twenty and Hassan Whiteside might have put up an easy-peasy 30/20 line, but at least there’s no way to blame Ersan Ilyasova for those things. He was never charged with keeping Whiteside in check; that was “defensive specialist” Nerlens Noel’s job. I mean, with Embiid out…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 25 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2017)
Here’s my honest take on the matter: the Thunder could really use Ersan Ilyasova. When was the last time someone other than Russell Westbrook scored 25 or more on that team? I was confused as heck when they traded him for Jerami Grant, and I remain confused as heck. Why would you give up one…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 16 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2017)
Nik “Sucksass” Stauskas proved my assertion that he is a poor man’s Wayne Ellington by recording a very bare statline last night: no rebounds, and just one assist, one steal, and one block, to go with four fouls and sixteen points. Unlike, say, a Robert Covington, who always fills up the stat sheet with a…
Read MoreDario Saric 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2017)
Now this is what I’m talking about. These are some LEGIT Dario “Chef” Saric highlights. People kept talking about how good of a playmaker he was, now he’s finally showing it. Some of these passes are dope. One, in particular, is so dope that I showed it even though it didn’t lead to an assist…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 15 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
Nik “Sucksass” Stauskas looked like a vastly improved player through the first month of the season. He was shooting 50% from the field, 45% from three, and it seemed like he might actually live up to the potential that caused the Kings (LoL) to draft him eighth overall (double LoL with extra lmao) back in…
Read MoreRobert Covington 21 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
Robert Covington achieved something last night. It wasn’t quite a five by five, but it was close. It was…the fabled “scrub by five”! He had 21 points, 12 rebounds, and three each of assists, steals, and blocks. So, not only did he meet the official threshold of a scrub by five (getting at least two…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 14 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
The latest buzz from the trade market: at the behest of one LeBron James, who requires more playmaking, the Cavaliers attempted to acquire T.J. McConnell from the 76ers. They were turned away, presumably because they didn’t offer enough, because it’s not like T.J. is some untouchable franchise cornerstone. He’s good, but that’s about it. Never…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 31 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2017)
View post on imgur.com Yeah, I’m reusing the image. Deal with it. I don’t have the proper words for my emotions right now, probably the proper words don’t exist in English, so I need to use internet memes to convey my feelings. Okay? Is that a crime now? Just typing out his name is tough…
Read MoreTimothe Luwawu-Cabarrot 12 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2016)
The 2016 draft class has been so underwhelming (where is Ben Simmons? Give him back to me, oh cruel destiny) that a rookie averaging three points per game on acceptable percentages seems like a major score. That rookie is Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, more concisely referred to as “TLC” or “Cabarrot Cake”. He’s been entrusted with more…
