Damien Inglis 10 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2016)

These might be the crappiest highlights I have ever made. At the very least, they are the crappiest from this season. If I so openly acknowledge their crappiness, why would I make them in the first place? There is a reason to my madness: Damien Inglis hit a three. Scratch that. TWO THREES. Now you…

Solomon Hill 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (4/13/2016)

This is kind of like that time Mark Madsen took seven three-pointers in the Timberwolves’ 2005-06 season finale. Except instead of missing them all like Mad Dog did, Solomon Hill made 7 of 11. But other than that minor detail, it’s basically the same scenario. I’m not even mad that Solomon suddenly became Paul George…

Joel Anthony 7 Points/8 Blocks Full Highlights (4/13/2016)

Of all the random scrubs I was expecting to do highlights of today, Joel Anthony seemed pretty unlikely. Well, that’s a lie, he wasn’t on any list of potential scrub vids because I hadn’t even thought about his existence for the whole year. For real. He’s been on the Pistons, but he never plays, and…

Shabazz Muhammad 28 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2016)

Starting out, I don’t think Shabazz Muhammad quite realized how porous the Pelicans’ defense was going to be. He begins his assault with his famous lefty push-shot in the lane, then follows it up with a triple. Then, realizing that he can do whatever he wants on the court, the floodgates open, and he lays…

Delon Wright 18 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/13/2016)

I’m so happy that Delon Wright finally started coming into his own by the end of the season. So very, very happy. I love seeing rookies do well. There’s nothing better! It’s just, you know… I wanted to do Bruno Caboclo highlights this year. And now the season is over, and he finally got some…

Emmanuel Mudiay 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/13/2016)

It’s official: Emmanuel Mudiay, according to Win Shares, was the player most detrimental to his team this season, easily eclipsing the -0.8 values of Rashad Vaughn and Tony Wroten with a cool -2.1. Way to go Mudiay! It’s hard to be the best of the worst. Obviously, he wasn’t ACTUALLY the worst player in the…

Aaron Gordon 22 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2016)

I don’t know why the NBA couldn’t have spread out these final games over another day. There are WAY too many highlights to do right now. I’m pretty sure they purposefully contrived this, setting me up to fail so that they could regain the highlight-making throne that I rightfully sit upon. Jokes on them, because…

Tyus Jones 9 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (4/13/2016)

Adjusting for the strength of an average NBA team not playing in the last game of the season, we can estimate Tyus Jones performance against the Pelicans as 4 points and 6 assists. Still pretty good, probably one of his better games, but not as attractive as the 9 and 12 he “actually” put up….

Alan Williams 13 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/13/2016)

There have been impending signs the past few weeks, but it has finally occurred: Eddie Johnson, the Suns color commentator, has officially lost his marbles. I don’t even know what he’s talking about half the time in this video. Something about pizza coupons? Pinstriped suits? That’s what commentating a losing team will do to a…

C.J. Wilcox Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2016)

Good news for Clippers fans: For exactly one game, C.J. Wilcox looked like an NBA player! It probably (definitely) won’t make a difference in the playoffs where rotation are eight deep and the Wilcoxes of the world are relegated to post-bucket applause duty, but it could mean something next year. Viable backup to J.J. Redick…
