Do the Kings suck because Ben McLemore sucks? Or does Ben McLemore suck because the Kings suck? That is the unanswerable question. It might be somewhat unfair to Ben Mac to accuse him of sucking, but there we have it. I just want to know if he would be a total stud on a team…

Omri Casspi 17 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2015)
With Sim Bhullar being signed to a 10-day by the Kings, thus becoming a teammate of Omri Casspi, I thought now would be the good time to examine the relationship between India and Israel. And then I thought, “Am I really crazy enough to write anything even tangentially relating to Israeli politics?”, and I responded…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 13 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2015)
Step up your game, Kings commentators. When Nik Stauskas makes a shot, the rule is that you have to say something like “Nice to see some confidence from Nik” or “You can see his confidence growing game by game” or a similar sentiment on his increasing confidence levels. Every time he makes a shot. If…
Read MoreOmri Casspi 16 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (3/16/2015)
Do the Kings commentators never shut up about “confidence”? They say that word whenever Nik Stauskas makes a shot, and now they say it whenever Omri Casspi hits a three. Is it a rule that every time a role-player hits a jumpshot, it builds their confidence? Omri’s been hitting threes for his whole NBA career….
Read MoreBen McLemore 27 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2015)
Ben “Easy Mac” McLemore is the same player he was his rookie year. Just way better. Well, maybe not “way” better. He’s improved, definitely, though he’s still not as good as he can probably be. It just goes to show, even the biggest bustiest scrubbiest rookie can turn things part-way around just by the natural…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 15 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2015)
From now on, I will write my descriptions expecting that the player displayed will read them. Nik Stauskas is a really rad dude. He’s Canadian, which accentuates his radness, creating another rad facet on the already rad gemstone of his life. I think he’s a good basketball player, unfairly maligned in the media merely for…
Read MoreAndre Miller 12 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/1/2015)
Andre Miller should be HOFer. Straight up. Try to debate me on this point. You will lose. Don’t even try bringing up his scoring averages. Basketball is a team game, and a player who makes his teammates better by his presence does not himself need to chuck the ball like a maniac. The curators of…
Read MoreRay McCallum 20 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2015)
I am vindicated. Once upon a time, I had the temerity to call Ray McCallum a “scrub”. This was last season, his rookie year, and he was playing poorly. He eventually had some decent games for the Kings that season, and under threat of unsubscriptions I recanted my proclamation. But as when Galileo denied his…
Read MoreBen McLemore 18 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (2/3/2015)
“It’s his dubstep!” Rudy Gay had screamed. “He’s always tricking people into listening to it and it sucks!” Ben McLemore was occupying his usual place in the corner of the dungeon. His captor had relented and allowed the captives to be fed the most meager of rations; however, Ben’s moldy bread remained untouched. He could…
Read MoreDarren Collison 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/31/2015)
This must be a trend, because it’s the second time I’ve noticed it: when Kings players go off on their former teams, the Kings commentators love talking about it. Last time, it was Derrick Williams; this time, it’s actually justified, as Darren Collison did really have a good game and is overall having a good…
