Nikola Jokic 19 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2017)

You know, after all those high-20s/mid-30s games Nikola Jokic has had recently, these 19 points just seem lackluster. Only 19 points and 3 dimes for a guy who has shown himself to be a legitimate scoring threat as well as an excellent setup man. Objectively, my brain knows that his stats were low because he…

Sam Dekker Career High 30 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/21/2017)

Sam Dekker scored 17 points last game, a highlight-worthy occasion. But all was not well. In my description for the resulting highlights, I criticized Dekker’s shooting form, pointing out the unnatural amount of arc he was putting on the ball. It had worked earlier in the season, but even then, every shot he made with…

Bismack Biyombo 13 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/20/2017)

Nobody really cares about Bismack Biyombo anymore. The only reason he ever got any attention in the first place was his competent performance in the playoffs for the Raptors last year. Raptors fans are large in quantity and are always looking for players to hype up, and when the Bizzy Body started throwing down dunks…

Malcolm Brogdon 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/20/2017)

I have been misled. The NBA has betrayed me. I’m unsure if I even want to go on. I looked up coffins on Amazon and they’re pretty cheap. Maybe I’ll buy one just so I can lie in it until death really does come and whisk me away from this existence fraught with betrayal, lies,…

Robert Covington 22 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/20/2017)

“Hey T.J., do you think she’s gonna finally notice me after I hit that game winner?” Robert Covington asked his teammate T.J. McConnell. T.J. squinted his eyes in confusion. “Who’s ‘she’?” “Ariana Grande, duh,” Robert answered, as if his secret undisclosed crush was widely-known public knowledge. “She probably saw my cool demeanor after it went…

Clint Capela Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2017)

Clint Capela showed tonight that he can do more than catch lobs from James Harden. Check out some of the moves in this video. I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say they’re “legit”, but they worked, and that’s all that matters. Let me tell you, you gotta give this guy a…

Sam Dekker 17 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2017)

This is what happens when the Rockets miss a bunch of threes and keep taking them anyway because that’s the gameplan: they lose. Can’t blame them for keeping on trying; gameplans are made to be followed, come hell or high water. Did George Washington give up when a few of his dudes died in battle?…

Ersan Ilyasova 24 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2017)

Paul Zipser 10 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2017)

I’m trying to figure out if the hype for Pääul Zïpßer is less or greater than the hype for Tibor Pleiß. As far as I could tell, there was little to no hype for Pleiß, until he started shooting threes in Summer League. Then he got waived and I don’t even know where he ended…

Caris LeVert 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/20/2017)

The Nets just dropped 143 god-damn points on the Pelicans, the second highest point total this season for a team. Caris LeVert didn’t have an insane point total for how many points his team scored, but 17 for himself and 14 more from the assists is pretty good. But with how good the Nets did,…
