Welcome back to the BAE Index. 

Kristops your dunks:

Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis has been awesome this year both on and off the court. From his plethora of tip dunks to posing with a car after a game, night after night Porzingis gets better and better. Most importantly, Kristaps has no fear of failure which leads to him constantly challenging dunk attempts. On Sunday afternoon he beat Jeff Teague.

Jimmy G. Buckets and the “G” is for gets.

Jimmy Butler is a very good basketball player. Against the Raptors on Sunday he was more than that, as he broke a Chicago Bulls record for points in a single half by scoring 40 to lead Chicago past Toronto. Anytime you break a record that Michael Jordan set you know you did something right.

John Wall is the good passing man:

John Wall throws passes that other players cannot even imagine. Don’t believe me? Explain this:

The Heat are fast:

This sequence by the Miami Heat is pretty impressive considering how perfectly they had to have everything go to beat the end of quarter buzzer. It helps when the speedy Goran Dragic is finishing things up.

So the Suns…..

Letting the Los Angeles Lakers style on you is bad. Letting them do it in a game you score 24 first half points and lose by 20. That is something way worse.

On the other hand, that was fun by the Lakers.
