Derrick Favors does not abide by the nickname “Faves” or “D. Faves”. I asked him about it on Twitter and he says he prefers “Flava Fave” so that’s what we’re going with. I would tell Matt Harpring to stop using his dumb made-up nickname but I hate Matt Harpring so much that the mere thought…

Trey Burke 24 Points/15 Assists Full Highlights (4/6/2014)
Trey Burke has had about the kind of season I expected after his Summer League performance. Surprise, I know. He is a good player but is tasked with doing too much on his awful Jazz team, so his percentages are Jennings-esque. On the upside, he is tasked with doing too much on his awful Jazz…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 18 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2014)
The wholly depressing Jazz season is coming to an end. Did anything at all go right for them this year? They lack any point guard besides a rookie and they expect Richard Jefferson to contribute. The anticipated KanFavors tandem has not worked out to the expected level, which may be the biggest reason they aren’t…
Read MoreRichard Jefferson 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/22/2014)
Sometimes I wish I had been making highlight videos back in the early 2000’s. There were a lot of scrubs that I’ve never heard of putting up some good performances, but not only that, today’s washed-up vets were having some monster scoring games of their own. I mean, Richard Jefferson on the Nets dropping 39…
Read MoreDerrick Favors Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2014)
The hype train for Derrick Favors has pretty much derailed. It’s been a long time since he was the third overall pick, and while he has improved markedly over the course of his career, I don’t sense that there is a ton of hope that he will live up to his potential. It doesn’t help…
Read MoreTrey Burke 23 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/10/2014)
Everyone remembers with fondness when T-Mac had 13 points in 33 seconds. Right? It’s one of those YouTube videos that every NBA fan has watched like 10 times. Don’t tell me you haven’t seen it. Seriously? Leave. Anyway, yeah, that was pretty great. Fun times. But what if I told you there was a guy…
Read MoreEnes Kanter Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2014)
The final buzzer sounded. The Bucks had thoroughly dismantled the Jazz on the back of Ersan Ilyasova’s 31 points. The Jazz, despite Enes Kanter’s 27 points, looked lifeless and uncaring. Kanter walked over to offer his congratulations. “Hey Ersan, great game tonight! Really representing glorious Turkey well.” “You know Enes, I not really from Turkey….
Read MoreDiante Garrett Career High 15 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (2/26/2014)
Of the players who currently have negative win-shares this season, here are the top five by minutes played: 1. Tony Wroten 2. Luke Ridnour 3. Phil Pressey 4. Diante Garrett 5. Elliot Williams (John Lucas III is 9th) I’m not saying anything about the accuracy of win-shares. For all I know, it’s a made-up stat…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/24/2014)
If I was Derrick Favors, I would just stop playing basketball. I would drop absolutely everything and invest every ounce of my energy into a new business venture: A line of cookbooks called “Flavors of Favors”. Trying to think of how many cookbooks Derrick would sell makes my head ache. If I were an overworked…

I am getting a little annoyed here. NBA box scores are supposed to be accurate representations of what actually occurred in the game. However, inaccuracies are introduced when scorekeepers are too busy drinking fair-trade coffee or checking out that cutie hipster chick in the fourth row to reliably watch the game. Yeah, I’m calling you…
