It was sad for me to see, but Vince Carter looked toast this season for the Kings. He had somehow located Juan Ponce de León’s long sought-after fountain of youth somewhere in the jungles of Mexico, and used to put together a nice season for the Grizzlies last year. But this year, it was all…

Willie Cauley-Stein 17 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (12/26/2017)
“Dear Santa, I know it’s the day after Christmas and that you want to be done giving out presents until next year, but I thought I would write this letter anyway. Santa, I don’t know if you forgot my address or what but I totally didn’t get any presents from you this year. If I…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 22 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/23/2017)
Another high-scoring game for Willie Cauley-Stein, another game where he doesn’t shoot any of the jumpshots that I so desperately crave from him. I totally understand that he’s shooting 30% this year on jumpshots. I understand that. I also am fully aware that WCS missed the three or four midrange attempts he had in this…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 24 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)
My 3D-printed statue of Buddy Hield has completely sated my need for human interaction. His gigantic purpleness is less judgemental of my unique lifestyle than humans are. Long ago I tired of dealing with so-called “normies”, but this twelve-foot-tall naked purple Buddy is about as far from being a normie as it’s possible to get….
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 15 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)
A perfect night for Bogdan Bogdanovic. 6 for 6 shooting on nothing but jumpers, 3 of 3 from three. He needed a lot of help from the rim to get there, but here in America, buckets are buckets. Unlike in Europe, where enterprising rebounders could have snatched them as they were bouncing around. Don’t say…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 14 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2017)
You know, when I started this endeavor, these Bogdan Bogdanovic highlights, for some reason I thought the he had more points than this. I don’t know where I got the idea that he had 18 from, some other player in some other boxscore maybe (probably Anthony Tolliver DAMMIT I’m always thinking about that dude), so…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 24 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2017)
Buddy Hield is one of the very best three point shooters in the league, 7th at the time of this writing, so it’s a shame that his three-point attempts have actually gone down this season from his rookie year. A young sweet-shooting player like him on a team like the Kings should be chucking like…
Read MoreZach Randolph 27 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2017)
Zach Randolph, now in his 16th year in the NBA, is currently posting the most efficient shooting season of his career. I don’t exactly understand how this is happening, but it is, and we all have to enjoy it while it lasts. At his age, things can go south in a hurry with no hope…
Read MoreFrank Mason 16 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2017)
I am freaking out about how the 76ers are doing right now, freaking out real hard, because they just gave up a huge lead to the Kings and lost and they were supposed to be good. The Kings, obviously, are not good. They’ve got talent, but it’s all raw and young and un-savvy. Their best…
Read MoreGarrett Temple 18 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2017)
The Kings commentators were making a big deal of Garrett Temple emerging from his recent slump, which made me wonder two things. The first thing I wondered is whether or not a role-player of Temple’s caliber is even able to have slumps, or if dips in production are to be expected of players of limited…
