Just for fun, I wanted to see where Terrence Ross’s zero-point, 0-of-10 shooting performance in the Magic’s fifth bubble game ranked in terms of horrible bubble games. It’s gotta be pretty low, right? He shot a bunch of shots and didn’t make any of them. Using basketball-reference’s “Game Score” stat, which is a rough numerical…

Terrence Ross 25 Points Full Highlights (8/2/2020)
In my giddiness over the fact that the NBA season actually resumed successfully, despite the utter lack of normalcy outside of the bubble, I forgot about one thing: My absolute burning hatred for free throws. You’d think that, in four months where the only administrative tasks set before the NBA were which teams get to…

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Terrence Ross won this game for the Orlando Magic. I promise I’m not exaggerating here. I know I exaggerate so often that this is a “boy who cried wolf” scenario, but I’m telling you straight up, Terrence Ross was the deciding factor in this win. I admit that…

Terrence Ross was just three points away from setting the NBA record for most points scored without recording a rebound, assist, steal, or block. That record is held by Allan Houston, who dropped 37 in that fashion back in 2000. That record is basically the holy grail for scoring-only players in the mold of Ross,…

Nobody ever watches the Terrence Ross highlight videos I make. I know that view counts aren’t the main goal of my channel, but they are a kind of secondary goal, and Terrence Ross highlight videos don’t reach that goal at all. You would think that more than 900 people would want to watch a video…

There aren’t enough pure scorers in the NBA right now. It seems like everywhere you look, there are dudes who score well, but then you look closer and you see that they do other stuff besides score. Some of them play defense despite it taking energy away from them that could be used for scoring….

This is how a highlight video should be. No free throws. No assists. No lame “hustle” plays. No actions performed by other players. Just a straight-up no-frills bucket fest from one of the more underrecognized bucket-getters in the league, Mr. Terrence Ross. The “no free throws” thing is especially great for me. I hate free…

Terrence Ross didn’t score in this game until the 4:40 mark of the third quarter. He then concluded his scoring with a three-pointer at exactly 7:23 in the fourth. By utilizing my extremely minimal skills in the arcane mathematical/numerological arts, that comes out to nine minutes and seventeen seconds of game time wherein T-Ross dropped…

Is Terrence Ross currently mired in what NBA insiders accurately call the “Post-Contract Slump of Badness” (PCSOB)? Last year was a contract year for Ross, so naturally he played as well as he was physically able to play. Now he’s, as the kids say, “got the bag” in the form of a four-year contract which…

I think there should always be the option of revoking a nickname that has been assigned to a player when that player no longer lives up to the nickname. This is especially true in the case of role-players who aren’t even that old when their decline starts. For example, you would never take away MJ’s…
