Rodney Hood 25 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2016)

Read MoreTrey Lyles 18 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2016)
“We’re going to do good, you and I,” Trey Lyles mumbled, holding a tattered cardboard box in his hands. He put his face next to the opening and laughed happily, as if something inside it had replied. “That’s right. We’ll be unstoppable.” Jeff Withey had wandered over. “Do you have to give yourself a pep…
Read MoreJoe Ingles Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2016)

Read MoreGordon Hayward 29 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2016)
Finally, a game for Gordon Hayward where he scored a good amount of points without the aid of a ton of unwatchable free throws.

Man, that Jeff Teague-George Hill-1st rounder three-team trade thing really isn’t looking that good for the Pacers, is it?

“…OFFICIAL MOST UNEXPECTED THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE 2016-17 NBA SEASON POWER RANKINGS” “1. Anthony Bennett will average eight points per game. This is because the Nets will be garbage. The Nets’ garbageness will surprise nobody, but Anthony Bustett managing to bumble his way into a large number of double-digit scoring games should bamboozle…
Read MoreRodney Hood 26 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2016)
Soon after the crystal tendrils of Adam Silver’s hyper-evolved posthuman form had spread over my body and fully overwhelmed it, there was a brief period of darkness. I could feel my consciousness being transferred from my mortal human shell into the perplexing computer-like structure. All at once, I lost the feeling of gripping cold on…
