Drew Gooden just keeps having good(en) games. I don’t know how this is happening. I saw how bad he was in his last year in Milwaukee. I figured he was done. He’s not. Eventually his hot outside shooting will cool off. Probably. But that’s what I’ve been thinking for the past few games and it…

Drew Gooden 18 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2014)
This is getting pretty ridiculous. Drew Gooden has exceeded all my expectations. And everybody else’s, too, I’m sure. There’s no way his jumpshot will be this pure for the rest of the season, right? Anyway, along with his newfound playing time comes a sweet new celebration after a made basket. If he feels he wasn’t…

“Drew it was really great of you to suggest this as a team bonding exercise after tonight’s game.” Drew Gooden sat serenely, as if in a meditative state. He gave no indication that he heard except for the faint smile the crossed his lips. “But does it have to be so god damn hot in…
Read MoreDrew Gooden 15 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2014)
People like to criticize LeBron for not winning any titles during his tenure with the Cavs. And to be sure, some of the blame falls on him. But have you looked at the teammates that he had to share the ball with? Drew Gooden was the second or third best player on some of those…
Read MoreDrew Gooden 13 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (3/8/2014)
With this game, Drew Gooden is sending a loud-and-clear message to the Bucks: “You should never have amnestied me! Look at what I can do on a team that appreciates my talents!” However, this performance, like all other good performances that Drew Gooden has stumblingly put together, is mere fool’s gold. His complete unwillingness to…
Read MoreDrew Gooden 12 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2014)
One of the reasons I started this channel was to avenge those Drew Gooden triple doubles that never had highlights made of them. I mean, come on. Drew Gooden. Triple doubles. Plural. Not just one. Multiple triple doubles. Not wimpy ones either; these babies had 13 dimes apiece. But Gooden was already an afterthought in…
Read MoreTrevor Booker 15 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2014)
Trevor “Booker T” Booker is certainly the basketball player whose name closest resembles that of a professional wrestler. Other than my habit of calling Ramon Sessions “Razor Ramon”, I can’t even think of any good examples. Probably for the better, since I grew out of watching wrestling when I was thirteen. My knowledge is all…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza Career High 40 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/1/2014)
God Dammit Ariza! Stop toying with my emotions! I saw your first quarter stats. I saw the 6 threes. Call me a fool, but I thought this time might be different. I thought, perhaps wishfully, that you would tie or possible even break the record for most threes made in a game. You and I…
Read MoreMarcin Gortat Career High 31 Points/12 Rebounds/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/27/2014)
There’s a trend in sports journalism of saying stuff “has an asterisk next to it”. Usually in the context of records or achievements. It means that the accomplishment is inferior or questionable in some way. Barry Bonds’ home run record? Asterisk that crap. Almost any recent baseball record for that matter? Just replace those pages…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 22 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/25/2014)
Trevor Ariza is having a career year in terms of not sucking. His three-point shooting, which was absent at the beginning of his career and iffy more recently, has been very good this year. Is this just a case of a guy taking a decade to figure it out, or are there other factors at…
