Clint Capela 17 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/27/2017)

Clint Capela and Nene went a combined 17-of-24 from the field last night against the 76ers. For some reason, D’Antoni’s rotation was super tight and only eight guys played, but you can bet that if Montrezl Harrell had been out there he would have scored around twenty, mostly on dunks like his two frontcourt-mates. Embiid…

Nene 21 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/27/2017)

I know I’m not seeing things. I know I’m not making stuff up. These are real facts coming straight to you courtesy of DTB: Nene is skinnier right now than at any point during his time with the Wizards. Way skinnier. He looks CUT. He looks BUILT. He looks RIPPED. He looks SWOLE. He looks…

Norman Powell 19 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2017)

Norman Powell AKA Normal Powenn has had three good games in a row in the absence of DeMar DeRozan AKA DeChuck DeBrickzan, scoring 16, 21, and now 19 points in consecutive games. I could have and probably should have made a highlight video for his 21-point outing, but I had already done so my videos…

Allen Crabbe 23 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/27/2017)

“Thanks for inviting me over for dinner,” C.J. McCollum said from the living room of Allen Crabbe’s apartment. “I was getting tired of getting delivery every night.” “No problem man. I just gotta share my culinary skills with the world,” Allen replied from the kitchen. He savored the sounds and smells of the sizzling beef…

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot 12 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2016)

The 2016 draft class has been so underwhelming (where is Ben Simmons? Give him back to me, oh cruel destiny) that a rookie averaging three points per game on acceptable percentages seems like a major score. That rookie is Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, more concisely referred to as “TLC” or “Cabarrot Cake”. He’s been entrusted with more…

Jrue Holiday 23 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (1/27/2017)

The Pelicans are 19-28 after they beat the Spurs last night. Not a good record, but still good enough to somehow be in the playoff hunt in the West because of the insane dropoff after the seventh-seeded Grizzlies. But when you only count the games in which Jrue Holiday plays, the Pelicans are 17-15. That’s…

Joel Embiid 32 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2017)

Process status: TRUSTED The 76ers are a decent team kind of, Joel Embiid just showed out on national TV, I heard MVP chants for T.J. McConnell and “trust the process” chants for Embiid, Ersan Ilyasova’s NBA-high streak of games with a made three ended (actually that one really sucks), TLC scored 12 again, I have…

Kristaps Porzingis 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/27/2017)

We are getting close to Kristaps Porzingis having his own team. So very close Phil Jackson hates Carmelo Anthony, and is desperately shopping him to any team that will listen. I don’t even mind Melo, I think he and Krispy can be a good combo, but I also don’t mind Krispy having his own god-damn…

Willie Reed 20 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2017)

Somehow the Heat are on a 6-game winning streak, and I have no idea why, so I’m just going to ignore Dion Waiters for now and give Willie Reed all the credit. Okay? Sounds good to me. The Heat’s recent resurgence is certainly an impressive feat given the slapdash nature of their roster. Willie Reed…

Damjan Rudez 14 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (1/27/2017)

Do not be fooled by the length that YouTube claims for this video. YouTube, ever acting in its own self-interest and its own self-interest only, displays a runtime of 1:01 for this vid. That is a lie. A lie fabricated to make YouTube look better than competing video-hosting websites. The actual runtime, independently verified by…
