Before I compiled these highlights, I wrote down on a slip of paper how many jumpers I thought Tony Allen made during his 26-point outburst against the Cavaliers. Just for comparison’s sake, you know. How expectations line up with reality or something. I’ve scanned the slip and uploaded it here, complete with timestamp: ———————————————————- |…………………………………………………..|…

Andrew Wiggins 25 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2016)
Andrew Wiggins is what would happen if you tried to make a player that could average 20 points while having as little impact on the rest of the game as possible. He doesn’t rebound much for a guy with his hops, he doesn’t pass well, and he’s okay at best on defense. He scores. That’s…
Read MoreKarl-Anthony Towns 28 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2016)
“Where did the snow go, Ricky?” asked Karl-Anthony Towns, his face pressed against the cold glass of the window, a face framed by curtains on either side. He asked this question as if making polite conversation. Outside, the once snow-covered landscape was a combination of dingy gray and muddy brown. “It’s gone, Karl. Winter is…
Read MoreTyson Chandler 16 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2016)
TYSON CHANDLER JUMPSHOT ALERT! TYSON CHANDLER JUMPSHOT ALERT! TYSON CHANDLER MADE A JUMPSHOT! ALERT ALERT ALERT This is allegedly the fourth jumper of the season for Tyson. I say “allegedly” because I haven’t seen any of these other alleged jumpers. I can only go by what Basketball-Reference says, and there’s no reason for them NOT…
Read MoreJaMychal Green Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2016)
The quality of my life has significantly improved since Jeff Green got traded to the Clippers. Now, when I want to make JaMychal Green highlights, I don’t have to get confused when looking at the box-score. There is only one “J Green” on the team now. It had gotten to the point where I wouldn’t…
Read MoreLuis Scola 21 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2016)
I like how the Raptors announcers spent this entire game talking about Luis Scola as if they were afraid of hurting his feelings. Yeah, he’s been pretty much total ass since January, but he’s a pro. A pro and a vet. If he’s ass, he can deal with his assness like a big boy. Handling…
Read MoreJabari Parker 26 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2016)
After the first few months of the season went by with Jabari Parker only getting eight or ten shots per contest, the past month or so has seen Jabari become a more aggressive scorer. Look at these field goal attempt numbers: 23, 18, 15, 25, 10, 16, 15, 21, 19. Those are star numbers. The…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo Triple Double 26 pts/10 asts/12 rebs Full Highlights (3/6/2016)
The next day, Giannis made a special trip to the grocery store. Usually he was careful about making a list and only going once a week, but with the addition of a blender to his kitchen (and, therefore, smoothies to his diet), he had quickly consumed all the fruit in the house. There hadn’t been…
Read MoreCorey Brewer 23 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2016)
Everyone has a different theory as to why the Houston Rockets aren’t performing up to expectations. James Harden this, Dwight Howard that, Sam Dekker the other thing. Blah blah blah. Those players may have some responsibility for their team’s current dire situation, but they don’t shoulder anywhere near a majority of it. No, the real…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 30 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2016)
Attention: this video contains NO Reggie Jackson to Andre Drummond lobs. Turn back now. I never would have made these highlights if I had known that going in. Hear that? I’m denouncing MY OWN highlights. I get that you maybe want to see Reggie scoring 30 points or maybe dishing some dimes to players who…
