Al-Farouq Aminu 26 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2017)

Al-Farouq Aminu truly got Al-Fareaky in this game, a welcome sight for Blazers fans who were getting just a little bit tired of him shooting below thirty percent from three and below forty percent from the field. He’s still mired in those awful percentages, but games like this give you hope that he will be…

Evan Turner 24 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2017)

For the first few weeks of the season, Evan Turner was widely mocked and reviled for how he was performing relative to his contract. And not the good kind of mocking and reviling. The bad kind. The “worst contract in the league maybe” kind. He was assigned the blame for whatever troubles the Trailblazers were…

Allen Crabbe 23 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/27/2017)

“Thanks for inviting me over for dinner,” C.J. McCollum said from the living room of Allen Crabbe’s apartment. “I was getting tired of getting delivery every night.” “No problem man. I just gotta share my culinary skills with the world,” Allen replied from the kitchen. He savored the sounds and smells of the sizzling beef…

Meyers Leonard 17 Points/2 Poster Dunks Full Highlights (1/21/2017)

Meyers Leonard is now the undisputed champion of making dunk-ruining stanky faces. He’s leading the league in the category of “lessening of the impact of his devastating poster dunk by putting on a ridiculous pouty face”, with 2. I don’t think any other player has even 1. He’s basically the MVP of this aspect of…

Allen Crabbe 24 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2017)

Quick Quiz: How EXPOSED were the “world champion” (LOL[lots of laughs]) Cavaliers last night? a.) Not exposed b.) Mildly exposed c.) Exposed d.) Very exposed Question 2: How thoroughly did Allen “Crabbey Patty” Crabbe turn Kyle “Athletic Decline” Korver into his personal bitchboy and buttslave for life? a.) Not thoroughly because Korver is not a…

Al-Farouq Aminu 16 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)

Al-Farouq Aminu suffers from “Jeremy Lamb Syndrome”: his droopy eyes always make him look like he’s sleepy and not giving 100% effort. He can be running at a full sprint down the court but his eyes will always be half-lidded like he’s getting ready to take a nap. He can dunk it with the power…

Allen Crabbe Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)

The Portland Trailblazers paid Allen Crabbe a lot of money. He went from getting paid under a million dollars per year to raking in 18.5 million. With that kind of increase in compensation, they were probably expecting at least a slight bump in production. Not so. The Crabbey Patty is doing almost exactly the same…

Evan Turner 20 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2017)

ESPN’s Real Plus-Minus stat, which purports to measure on-court impact in terms of points gained or lost every 100 possessions (I bet they just pay some intern to make up the numbers), really hates Evan Turner. He is the sixth-worst player in the league if you go by that stat, sitting at a cool -4.27….

Mason Plumlee Career High 27 Points/8 Dunks Full Highlights (12/20/2016)

Even though DeMarcus Cousins had 55 points in a winning effort, I think it’s fair to say that he was embarrassed by Mason Plumlee tonight. I counted three separate posters performed by Mason onto DeMarcus’ pouting face, with a fourth one that could go either way. That’s a lot of material for my upcoming “DTB’s…
