Dario Saric 20 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2017)

Without Joel Embiid, the 76ers have lost a lot of their funness. They still have some fun players (Dario Saric, Richaun Holmes, Ersan Ilyasova[yes he count as fun dammit just trust me on this]), but they are not as consistently fun as Embiid was. Saric, probably their greatest hope for fun outside of that other…

Joe Johnson 27 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2017)

I don’t remember Joe Johnson looking this slow when he scored 29 the first game of the season. Did he use up all his energy on that one? He hasn’t scored 20 since then, until tonight. I don’t think I’ve seen this many buckets scored by just slowly dribbling around and shooting since I last…

Brandon Ingram 15 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2017)

Alright. This is good. Everyone calm down. This is something you can build off of. He’s not a bust yet! 15 points on 6 of 10 shooting, that’s something that a normal non-bust player would do. 5 dimes, a couple of them to Tarik Black which increases their value. A dime to Black is not…

Nikola Jokic 18 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2017)

Foul trouble strikes again for Nikola Jokic! He’s finding out that it’s kind of hard to be play defense in the NBA if you can’t really change directions that quickly. “Play defense with your feet, not your hands” is what the coaches preach, but that’s easy for them to say. They’re not the ones who…

Kyle Korver 29 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (2/8/2017)

I’ve been doing Kyle Korver highlights for a long time (relatively speaking). 5 years at this point. 5 years of The Korvman splashing threes and wetting panties. 5 years of him scoring 28 points or less every single time he stepped on the court. The last time he scored this many points was a decade…

Clint Capela 17 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (2/7/2017)

Clint Capela is sixth in the league in dunks this year, having slam-jammed the ball 94 times in 35 games. This is a vast improvement over last season, when he dunked just 99 times in 77 games. Most of the improvement can be attributed to James Harden and his lob-throwing prowess, but Capela himself shouldn’t…

Serge Ibaka 28 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2017)

The Magic are apparently feeling some buyer’s regret regarding Serge Ibaka, with rumors claiming that they are looking to trade him. Makes sense, unlike most of their ideas. They made the initial trade for him as a win-now kind of move, they aren’t winning now, so he doesn’t really have a purpose on the roster….

Bojan Bogdanovic 22 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2017)

Bojan Bogdanovic is averaging 14 points a game this year. This fact surprises me, because it feels like someone averaging that many points should sometimes be recognized by anyone besides people from his home country and me. Seriously. Where’s the hype. This guy is only in his third year in the league, he’s only 27……

Matt Barnes 19 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2017)

Why haven’t their been locker room fights in Sacramento yet? Their team is well-stocked with players who are known fighters. Matt Barnes will punch anything that looks at his wife the wrong way, anything that looks at HIM the wrong way, or anything that moves. Darren Collison will punch anything that looks like his wife….

Tristan Thompson 22 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2017)

Tristan “Triscuits” Thompson choked near the end of regulation, making just one of two free throws when making both of them would have obviously been better (it’s math). However, making zero of them would have been way worse, so Triscuits didn’t choke as hard as he could have. There was definitely a higher level of…
