Welcome back to the BAE Index, one of our new projects here at The Friendly Bounce.
Joey Dorsey vs. the rim.
Joey Dorsey has worked very hard to get back to the NBA after being stuck in Europe for a few years. Against the Knicks on Monday night he did what Joey Dorsey does, work hard, grab some offensive rebound and generally be athletic. Late in the third quarter after grabbing a few offensive rebounds Dorsey was found rolling down the lane for what looked like a dunk. He got fouled and then this happened as he tried to complete the and-one.

Kemba Walker’s Crossover
Our own Chris Barnewall loves to talk about how great Kemba Walker’s crossover is. Monday night Chris Paul learned that lesson.

Paul got the last laugh after putting up 22 points and 15 assists in a 113-92 Clippers win but Kemba’s highlight will live forever.
The 76ers “defense”
The Philladelphia 76ers played a close first half against the Portland Trailblazers last night before ultimately coming up 10 points short. Defensive possessions like this didn’t help.

Damian Lilliard probably felt like he was back in high school or something with this much time. You can kind of see in his face how confused he is at what is happening. It almost looks like he feels bad too.
