Tyler Johnson Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2016)

This career-high performance by Tyler Johnson apparently sets another milestone: the highest-scoring game off the bench in Miami Heat history. Excited yet? No, not really. I’m not either. It’s still kind of interesting, if only to look at the other names on that list. Voshon Lenard used to hold the record, with 29 points back…

Kristaps Porzingis 21 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2016)

I’m gonna be honest with you, I was thinking of holding off on these highlights until later in the evening. Kristaps Porzingis scoring 21 is not an unusual occurence by this point, and there were some other tantalizing performances to consider. Then I saw he made 4 threes, and all bets were off. I love…

Jordan Clarkson 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/20/2016)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhRfTg1o8V4 I take many steps to ensure that my Philippines-based viewership is kept well fed and happy. For my channel, the Philippines account for the second most traffic of any country, after the good old US of A. 8.4% of my total minutes watched coming from a country that loves basketball but is cursed with…

Andre Roberson 14 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2016)

Somehow Andre Roberson decided that he wanted to shoot fourteen shots in this game, a career high in field goals attempted. The Hawks were probably leaving him alone to a greater degree than other teams leave him alone. I guess he kind of made them pay for ignoring him on defense? He made five of…

Seth Curry 14 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2016)

Seth Curry has rebounded a bit from his slow start this season. His three point percentage is still way down from last year (36% vs 45%), but if he keeps shooting 2-of-3 from distance like he did in this game, he should get there by the end of the season. Unfortunately for him, the Mavericks…

Gary Harris Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2016)

Explain to me why I would go to all the trouble of making a hashtag when no one is going to use it. Explain that to me. Because I can’t understand it. Gary Harris is playing well now, and there should be a lot of people excited for him. Even if there aren’t many fans…

Marcin Gortat 21 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2016)

I don’t know who Polish people are going to project their nationalism onto once Marcin Gortat is out of the league. Granted, he’s only 32, so the Polish Hammer has a few more years left, but is there any young Polish talent in the pipeline? Don’t even talk to me about Olek Czyz. Similarly refrain…

Nikola Jokic 27 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/19/2016)

It’s a shame that Nikola Jokic fell one assist short of a triple-double tonight. A real shame. It would have been nice for one of the best passing bigs in the league to have his skill validated by an arbitrary statistical feat. Oh well. A tied career-high is pretty good too. And the Nuggets won,…

Dennis Schröder 31 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/19/2016)

Has anyone else noticed that, from certain angles, Dënniß ßchrööder looks like a sexy Nubian princess? I know how this sounds. Make fun of me all you want, but I am being totally serious when I say that ßchrööder, when the lighting is right, resembles chocolate-skinned royalty from southern Egypt. I think it’s the eyes….

Myles Turner 20 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/19/2016)

What if I told there was a 20-year-old second-year player who was averaging 15 points a game with excellent shooting numbers to go along with elite shotblocking skills. Not only that, but this player added a three-point shot over the offseason. You would certainly be hyped for such a player, were they to exist. You…
