Wayne Ellington 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/1/2017)

In the three other games of Wayne “Beef W” Ellington’s career where he hit at least six threes, he scored significantly more points than eighteen. Those scores of 26, 26, and 25 (achieved with three different non-Heat teams, no less) are probably much more impressive from a highlight video perspective, since they would show Ellington…

Buddy Hield 16 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)

When DeMarcus Cousins was traded and the Kings immediately went out and won their first game after the trade, it was looking like maybe, just maybe, Cousins was really the problem in Sacramento and with him gone, the rest of the team could play real basketball free from the burden of his antics. The so-called…

Caris LeVert 13 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)

The Nets just won a game! They didn’t manage to win one in February, but that’s cool, a lot of good teams often go entire months without winning. Caris LeVert (what kind of name is Caris anyway) was a big part of the win, contributing thirteen points, including a sick turnaround jumper and an okay…

Matthew Dellavedova 15 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)

Thought experiment: how many points would Matthew Dellavedova average in the NBL, Australia’s inferior but still somewhat competetive basketball league? I’ve never watched an NBL game, nor do I know what the “stars” of the league average, but I’m guessing there’s a lot more defense played there then in China, so I bet Delly wouldn’t…

Malcolm Brogdon 17 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)

Malcolm Brogdon AKA “The Junkyard Brog” AKA “The Prez” AKA “Brogdog” proves once again how he should be the starter for the Bucks by scoring two more points than his main rival and archfoe Matthew “Wacky Delly” Dellavedova. I don’t know how much more evidence Jason “Crash Car into Tree then Beat Up Pregnant Wife”…

Khris Middleton 21 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)

Khris “Kha$h Money” Middleton will need to play like this every single game for the rest of the season if the Bucks want to make the playoffs. That means they’ll have to stop resting him on the second-night of back-to-backs, because for treadmill teams like the Bucks who have no direction except to blindly chase…

Dante Exum 15 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)

One thing that sticks with me about Dante Exum is the fact that he was in a bunch of sorta-funny but also sorta-lame Foot Locker commercials after he was drafted but before he played in the NBA. I feel like usually spots in Foot Locker commercials are reserved for good or at least proven NBA…

Richaun Holmes 15 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)

Well, the 76ers suck again. It was a fun little run where they were winning a bunch of games and Joel Embiid was providing Twitter bantz and they still had Nerlens Noel and Ersan Ilyasova. Now their roster is back to being garbage since they don’t have any of their three best players from that…

Tyler Johnson 24 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)

Supposedly, when Tyler Johnson saw that he was gonna get paid $50 million by the Nets (the Heat matched eventually, putting a stop to the Johnson-Lin dynasty before it even began), he pretty much just puked all over everything in his house. Like, that was too much money to even think about, so the only…

Jon Leuer 22 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)

Jon Leuer attemped 23 field goals tonight, by far a career high. I don’t know what got into him. He was being guarded by short dudes way too much, which probably factored into his mindless (by his standards, not by Brandon Jennings standards) chucking. Also, his teammates were all sucking. One of the cardinal rules…
