I have a pile of scraps of paper on my desk on which I have written NBA predictions. All of them were written during the offseason so you know that none of them are biased by events that transpired after the season opener. Each one is dated with the date that I made the prediction…

Matt Barnes 19 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2017)
Why haven’t their been locker room fights in Sacramento yet? Their team is well-stocked with players who are known fighters. Matt Barnes will punch anything that looks at his wife the wrong way, anything that looks at HIM the wrong way, or anything that moves. Darren Collison will punch anything that looks like his wife….
Read MoreTy Lawson 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/6/2017)
Ty Lawson seems to be playing slightly better of late, especially if you ignore the games where he scores in the single digits. In my mind, there are two possible yet conflicting reasons why he’s recently been looking a little bit better on the court: Option A: Lawson has given up alcohol entirely, has thrown…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 14 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
Remember when Ty Lawson seemed like he had a direct brain connection with JaVale McGee (back when they were in Denver) and it resulted in endless unstoppable alley-oops? Lawson might be considerably more alcoholic at this point in his career, but that doesn’t mean he can’t develop a similar brain connection with another player if…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 17 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2017)
Two good games in a row for Willie Cauley-Stein? I didn’t hear very many people calling him a bust (yet), but there were probably a few out there who have now been totally proven wrong in their judgment of WCS. Would a bust score 13 and 17 in consecutive games on a combined 14 of…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 13 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/28/2017)
Willie Cauley-Stein: apparently an unplayably bad basketball player this season? That’s what Kings fans will have you believe; I’m pretty sure they’ve already given up all hope with regards to this dude ever becoming good. I don’t watch Kings games enough to know for sure the quality of Cauley-Stein as a basketball player, so I’ll…
Read MoreDarren Collison 26 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2017)
Darren Collison is one of those semi-good players who is condemned to be forgotten for all time the second he retires, possibly even before then. He’s like Darrell Arthur in that he doesn’t seem to have any fans aside from a few fans of the team he happens to play on. I’m sure there are…
Read MoreMalachi Richardson 12 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2017)
If the Kings ruin Malachi Richardson like they ruined Ben McLemore, I’m gonna be pissed. Richardson and McLemore aren’t exactly the same player (can Richardson even jump? can McLemore create his own shot?), but there are some similarities. The most noticable being that they are both currently being ruined by the Kings organization. Why is…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 17 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2017)
From DNP-CD’s to 35 minutes in a game: Anthony Tolliver sure has come a long way since the beginning of the season. The Kings are actually have a not-terrible record of seven wins and eight losses since Tolliver has started getting them major minutes (and the known team detriments Afflalo and Lawson have had their…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 16 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)
It’s become a recurring theme in Anthony “Tollbooth” Tolliver’s career: he signs with a new team for some smallish amount of money to play a smallish bench role, and by the third month of the season the team in question is starting him because he fits in better with high-usage players than the higher-paid, more…
