I want to ask something. Are the Blazers being EXPOSED right now? Don’t give me any of that injury mumbo-jumbo. I’ve got a narrative that I’m building here and I’m seeing it through to the end. They’ve lost five in a row now. They’re relying on guys like C.J. McCollum to give them scoring. I…

Meyers Leonard 15 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2015)
I shouldn’t need to tell you this, but I’m going to tell you anyway: Meyers Leonard is in the 50-40-90 club. Well, not in quite yet. He has to finish the season before the induction ceremony happens, I think. But he’s on pace, and if he keeps getting no/very few minutes, he should be able…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/21/2015)
“Bon Dieu de merde,” Nic whispered, watching with fascination and horror. “I warned you something bad would happens.” Victor Claver whimpered. Nicolas Batum and his Spanish teammate were rooted to the floor as the horrific scene unfolded before their eyes. What had started as an innocent experiment on the effects of microwaves on basketballs had…
Read MoreWesley Matthews 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/17/2015)
The hype train for Wesley Matthews remains disturbingly empty. I walk amongst the cars, taking a break from my conductorly duties, and see only a few older gentlemen, asleep on the seats, dressed in well-worn Walton jerseys. In the rear I stumble upon a contingent of fans from his alma mater, Marquette, and from his…
Read MoreC.J. McCollum 17 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2015)
CJ “My McPrecious” McCollum is one of the few “potential” players on the Trailblazers’ roster. You could consider Will Barton one of those too. Maybe Allen Crabbe? Anyway, he doesn’t get many minutes because he kind of sucks right now, but Portland fans feel he could be a big part of their future. I just…
Read MoreMeyers Leonard 12 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (1/5/2015)
We have witnessed the complete transformation of Meyers Leonard, from dunking-only cocoon to three-point chucking butterfly. It truly is a sight to behold, the wonder and splendour of Mother Nature never ceases to amaze. Meyers is a smart dude. 7-footers who shoot threes are a rare (though growing less so) commodity around the NBA. It’s…
Read MoreJoel Freeland 10 Points/2 Dunks/2 Blocks Full Highlights (12/28/2014)
Since this is my first Joel Freeland video, I would like to welcome the many hundreds of British viewers that are happening upon my channel for the first time. G’day, mate! Wait, that’s Australian. How do Brits greet each other? ‘Ello, guvna! This isn’t even Joel Freeland’s career-best game. He scored thirteen points once. Why…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2014)
Victor Claver sat near the wall of the training facility, staring intently at the basketball in his hands. Nic Batum, on his way to the fridge full of Gatorade, noticed his Spanish teammate’s focused demeanor. “Hey, Vic, getting in the zone for tonight’s game?” Victor looked up, startled, as if he had been awoken from…
Read MoreWesley Matthews 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
Quietly, without anyone noticing, Wesley Matthews snuck into the NBA league office. It was late, and the only security guard on duty was taking a not-very-well-earned nap. There was nothing of true value here, unless one considered fake plants and other generic cubicle farm detritus “valuable”. Wesley wasn’t here for that stuff. Damian Lillard had…
Read MoreC.J. McCollum 17 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2014)
It’s okay, man. You are not alone. I also still get CJ McCollum and Ray McCallum confused sometimes. It would help if either one of them was doing something do distinguish themselves. Instead, after promising rookie seasons, they both have had their rear-ends duct-taped to the bench. Attention NBA teams: young players don’t get any…
