At the end of last season, when the Grizzlies were so devastated by injuries that they had to give large amounts of rotation minutes to made-up players like Briante Weber and Xavier Munford (try telling me with a straight face that those players really exist…you can’t), Tony Allen put up multiple games scoring in the…

Harrison Barnes 29 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2016)
We are now a fourth of the way through the season (contain your tears) and Harrison Barnes is still averaging twenty points per game. Does this mean that Barnes is officially a twenty point per game scorer in the league? No. Not yet. He needs to be averaging twenty at the end of the regular…
Read MoreLou Williams 38 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2016)
The lights dimmed. The audience, which had up to this point been chattering happily, quickly quieted, the only sound being the thudding of glasses as drinks were put down upon the rickety tables they sat around. They gazed towards the front of the club, where, in the darkness, several musicians had silently approached their instruments:…
Read MoreLangston Galloway Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2016)
I don’t want to make Langston Galloway highlights, and you don’t want to watch Langston Galloway highlights, but the universe has decided that Langston Galloway will have highlight-worthy performances on a semi-regular basis, ignoring more deserving players like Kyle Wiltjer, Thon Maker, R.J. Hunter, and dozens of others. “No.” says the universe. “I have decided…
Read MoreWill Barton 22 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2016)
I was completely on board the Will Barton hype train last year. Maybe I was even the conductor? I’ve been the conductor for a lot of wrecked hype trains, but I don’t know. Every time I try to think back farther than one week everything gets hazy. Anyway, I was definitely in full support of…
Read MoreDario Saric 17 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2016)
Oh man. Here’s some words of wisdom from your number one bro DownToBuck: even if your local pizza place (which also happens to be your favorite) is offering a really sick special price on any pizza (ANY PIZZA, NO GOTCHAS HERE), don’t give in to temptation and get the extra large. Or, if you do…
Read MoreTroy Daniels 29 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/5/2016)
Improbably, the Troy Daniels redemption tour continues. In a normal season, Daniels is good for only one or two of these games in a season. He builds up scoring energy while sitting on the bench and getting no minutes, then unleashes it in one big splooge during some random game. That’s how it works. Once…
Read MoreJoel Embiid 16 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/5/2016)
How long until Joel Embiid’s unfiltered social media behavior earns him scorn rather than praise? In a fair and just world, people would only care about his on-court exploits rather than all that TMZ bullcrap. But the world is unfair and unjust, and at some point people are going to think that posting “cooked his…
Read MoreJamal Murray 22 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2016)
I have to stop letting myself get so excited for first-half performances. Jamal Murray had 17 tonight in the first two quarters, igniting within me a flame so intense that it could only be extinguished by watching him go off in the second half. I bypassed watching my own Bucks to watch the Nuggets instead….
