C.J. Watson 18 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2017)

There are multiple C.J. Watson highlight videos on my channel that have failed to reach the “1,000 view” threshold, which is the official line between “this video is a good video” and “this video is a war crime and should never be seen by anybody ever”. MULTIPLE videos. This indicates one thing to me: that…

Nik Stauskas 16 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2017)

Nik “Sucksass” Stauskas proved my assertion that he is a poor man’s Wayne Ellington by recording a very bare statline last night: no rebounds, and just one assist, one steal, and one block, to go with four fouls and sixteen points. Unlike, say, a Robert Covington, who always fills up the stat sheet with a…

Marquese Chriss 20 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2017)

Marquese Chriss shows it all in this game. Dunks (of the windmill and non-windmill varieties), Euro-steps, midrange jumpers, threes, everything is present and accounted for other than footwork-heavy post moves. Given Chriss’ newly displayed offensive versatility, it is time for me to reveal the nickname that I have been crafting in secret for ere these…

Yogi Ferrell 19 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2017)

There are two ways to approach playing time during a 10-day contract in the NBA. You can play within yourself as much as possible, limiting mistakes and showing you can sacrifice individual success for the team. Or, you can call your own number whenever you get the ball, shooting ballsy shots and making the coaches…

Dario Saric 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2017)

Now this is what I’m talking about. These are some LEGIT Dario “Chef” Saric highlights. People kept talking about how good of a playmaker he was, now he’s finally showing it. Some of these passes are dope. One, in particular, is so dope that I showed it even though it didn’t lead to an assist…

Ricky Rubio 22 Points/6 Threes/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2017)

Prior to tonight’s games, there had been 114 instances of a player hitting six or more threes. All the expected names are there, and there aren’t any really unexpected names there barring Rashad Vaughn. Depending on your opinion of Vaughn (which really shouldn’t be very high, unless you’re me, dammit Kidd give him more minutes),…

Willie Cauley-Stein 17 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2017)

Two good games in a row for Willie Cauley-Stein? I didn’t hear very many people calling him a bust (yet), but there were probably a few out there who have now been totally proven wrong in their judgment of WCS. Would a bust score 13 and 17 in consecutive games on a combined 14 of…
