I’m too lazy to really figure it out, but I’m pretty sure that at one point during this game Jordan McRae was 1-for-9 from the field. Maybe it was, like, 1-for-8 or 1-for-10, but definitely 1-for-some-big-number. And this was fairly late in the game, too, like around the start of the fourth quarter. So imagine…

The ‘Zards are battling some injuries right now, so the minutes were there for the taking (because you know…

OFFICIAL THOMAS BRYANT STATUS: Crying bitter tears of sadness as his stranglehold on the starting center position, which was so clearly his at the beginning of the season, is loosening as Anzejs Pasecniks pries it from his fingers. With every slow, steady bucket that Pasecniks scores, Bryant sees his own superior athleticism become less and…

Tonight, Gary Payton II made his re-debut for the Wizards after a 3-game NBA stint last year and put together one of the sickest scrublines (that’s a portmanteau of “scrub” and “statline” if you didn’t get it) of the season. 10 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals, it’s all right there in the title…

OFFICIAL TROYS OF THE NBA POWER RANKINGS 1. Troy Brown Junior. Before this game, I wouldn’t have been able to decisively place TBJ in the number one spot, but now I am making the determination decisively and authoritatively: Troy Brown Jr. is the best Troy in the game right now.

Troy Brown Jr.’s continued development into something approximating a real NBA role-player has gone unnoticed by all but the most ardent NBA fans. No lie, this may be the kind of thing that has escaped even Zach Lowe’s notice. Okay, that’s probably not true, even if his quote “What if Brown is on a path…

Anzejs “The NBA Player Too Obscure for Basketball-reference To Acknowledge” Pasecniks was, up until recently, and as his nickname suggests, too obscure for basketball-reference to acknowledge as having actually played in an NBA game. I don’t know who they were giving his stats to, but they weren’t giving them to him, because he continued being…

Ish Smith’s perfect 9-of-9 shooting performance, untainted by the stain of even a single missed field goal, is one of the best perfect shooting performances of this season so far. Only Dwight Howard with his 10-of-10 game a few days ago, has done better. Clint Capela, Dwight Powell, and Tony Snell (HELL YEAH TONY) have…
