I don’t know why the Orlando Magic aren’t better. They had all the pieces to be at least an 8th-seed type of team, and they can’t even manage that. It’s been this way for years, since a little after Dwight left; a core of young talent seemingly ready to bust out, only to miss the…

Giannis Antetokounmpo Triple Double 28 pts/14 asts/11 rbs Full Highlights (3/13/2016)
“Man, Giannis, these smoothies are really good, you got it down to a science!” John Henson exclaimed as the first drop of Giannis’ newest concoction landed on his tongue. “What did you say was in it again?” Giannis smiled sheepishly as he listed the ingredients. “Pomegranate, mango, plums, I think that’s all.” He took a…
Read MoreMatt Barnes Triple Double 26 pts/10 asts/11 rebs Full Highlights (3/11/2016)
Matt Barnes is already 36. What the heck. It seems like just yesterday he was trying to make Kobe flinch by pretending to throw the ball into his face; now Kobe is about to retire and I can’t stop crying, oh god… I’m back! Sorry about that. Kobe might be close to retirement, but Barnes…
Read MoreMarcus Smart Triple Double 10 pts/11 asts/11 rebs Full Highlights (1/15/2015)
If Marcus Smart was LeBron James or Russell Westbrook, the NBA would take a look at this triple-double. But he isn’t, and they won’t, so it’s all good. All the assists are, at least, instances where he passed the ball (unlike that Giannis trip-dub). There was an offensive rebound that was kind of iffy, where,…

Read MoreMarc Gasol Triple Double 16 pts/11 asts/11 rebs Full Highlights (11/20/2015)
Marc Gasol not only looks sort of like a potato, but he was also playing like one to start the season. He endured some rough shooting nights and often would only find solace in eating entire boxes of Bagel Bites, but all the hardship has paid off now that he has finally amassed enough stats…
Read MoreBrandon Knight Triple Double 30 pts/15 asts/10 rebs Full Highlights (11/16/2015)
Eric Bledsoe peeked his head into the storage closet. “Brandon? What are you doing in here? It’s game time man, get going!” Brandon Knight, knees pulled up to his chest, was huddling in a corner next to some jugs of cleaning solution. An extension cable dangled from the ceiling, with a crude circular knot tied…
Read MoreElfrid Payton Triple Double 15 Pts/12 Asts/10 Rebs Full Highlights (3/18/2015)
I would’ve taken the shot too. Just grabbed the last rebound for my triple double, dribbling up the court, the chance to take the go-ahead shot with 30 seconds left after trailing the whole game? I ain’t passing. That ball is going up, and it’s going in the hole. It’s what every kid dreams about….
Read MoreRicky Rubio Triple Double 18 Pts/11 Asts/12 Rebs Full Highlights (3/2/2015)
“Hey Ricky, great game tonight, made me really feel like I was playin’ with Marbury again, ‘cept of course he ain’t never pass me the ball, and I ain’t know if he ever got a triple-double.” Kevin Garnett walked up to his point guard, hands behind his back. Ricky Rubio turned to face the veteran…
Read MoreDraymond Green Triple Double 16 Pts/13 Asts/11 Rebs Full Highlights (1/2/2015)
Draymond Green was billed as this kind of player coming out of college. It was basically a nice way of saying “He won’t be able to score worth crap so he will be good at the other stuff otherwise why would he even be in the league.” I did my share of ragging on Draymond…
