In scoring seventeen points last night, J.J. Barea, at the ripe old age of 33, is officially scoring the most points per game of his career. 11.4 PPG might not seem like a lot, but when you consider that Barea has strictly been slotted into the backup role for his entire career, it’s actually pretty…

Dwight Powell 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/13/2018)
Here are the scoring figures for Dwight Powell’s last six games: 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting 8 points on 2-of-3 shooting (this is proof he doesn’t whine about touches) 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting 18 points on 6-of-12 shooting 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting The list I just lovingly typed…

J.J. Barea is older than I realized. 33? His shortness give the perception of youth, I guess. Looking at the list of dudes born in the same year as him, most of them are totally retired or looking pretty washed up. The only other ones who aren’t on an obvious downswing are J.J. Redick, maybe…
Read MoreDwight Powell 18 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2018)
Since being inserted into the starting lineup, Dwight Powell has really shown why he is the superior Powell of the NBA. While Norman Powell can barely get minutes after getting gifted a huge-ass contract, Dwight provides excellent rim-running and lob-catching abilities for a reasonable price. The Mavericks aren’t exactly winning a ton of games with…
Read MoreDennis Smith Jr. 16 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (2/11/2018)
I think this is the best passing performance we have seen from Dennis Smith Jr., and it’s probably not close. The other times he’s had big assist games, it’s because he’s making dinky perimeter passes while Wesley Matthews cans threes. This game, he was throwing LOBS. Hella LOBS. He was throwing lobs to everybody: Dwight…
Read MoreYogi Ferrell 20 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2018)
I know this is pretty much totally unrelated to anything to do with Yogi Ferrell, the Dallas Mavericks, or the modern NBA, but I want to apologize for not making highlights of Jerome Dyson scoring 24 points on April 18, 2012. I hadn’t started my channel yet, but there was no reason I shouldn’t have…
Read MoreDwight Powell 19 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (2/10/2018)
I don’t know exactly when Dwight “Dwight Power” Powell inched his field goal percentage above 60%, but he did it sometime recently and, with the reaching of that milestone, has entered the prestigious club of “NBA Players who Play Real Minutes and Shoot Over Sixty Percent From the Field” (the NBAPWPRMASOSPFTF club for short). The…
Read MoreDirk Nowitzki 22 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (2/10/2018)
As of yesterday night, Kyle Collinsworth officially has a new entry to put on his resume: “-Assisted a Dirk Nowitzki dunk. Nowitzki was 39 years old at the time of the dunk.” You know you threw a good pass when Dirk, who barely dunks anything anymore because he can barely dunk, has no choice but…
Read MoreDwight Powell 18 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2018)
The connection between J.J. Barea and Dwight Powell continues to astound me. How did these two guys, who are both average role-players at best, develop such great chemistry? Powell just goes to spots on the court where he thinks he can score from, and Barea gets him the ball in that spot to do just…
Read MoreDennis Smith Jr. 22 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2018)
This game represented quite a departure for Dennis Smith Jr.: instead of doing everything in the fourth quarter, he did NOTHING in the fourth quarter! You might think that this is a negative, but it totally isn’t. In fact, this is a significant milestone in his development. Now that he’s proven beyond reasonable doubt that…
