Sean “The Real Irish Kobe” Kilpatrick has not been playing well in the calendar year 2017, to the point where I assume that his new year’s resolution was to not care about basketball anymore and to focus on appearing in community theater productions or something. He shot 32% from three in January and then 34%…

Read MoreKhris Middleton 24 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
Khris Middleton shed his “Diamond Dimes” moniker for this game, totaling zero assists as he decided that his teammates were unworthy of the high-quality dimes he would dime to them if he felt like it. Instead, he redonned his “Middrange” nickname, abusing the hapless dinosaur defenders with his savvy and smooth jumpshot skills. You know,…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 21 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
Just like that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope dude who’s a few videos back in my Big Ol’ List of Videos, Nic “I Hate Juan Carlos Navarro’s Balls” Batum suffers from serious consistency issues. He can have games like this one where he’s an effective shooter and a great passer, and then he can have games like the…
Read MoreChanning Frye 21 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
Austin Carr, the “crazy” half of the Cavs broadcasting duo, seemed very subdued for the entirety of the second half of this game. I didn’t go back to see how he sounded in the first half, but I have to imagine that he started the game with his usual pep and then had it slowly…
Read MoreClint Capela 24 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
I don’t really have an opinion on Hack-a-whatever. I leave the opinions to the tryhards who care deeply about the rules of basketball. That said, Hack-a-Cap pretty much ruined my highlight video from a pacing perspective. It was proceeding along just fine with plenty of dunks and layups from the Capellmeister until the Grizzlies decided…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 26 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
Priority number one for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: consistency! He’s been consistently inconsistent for most of his time on the Pistons (the exception being when he was just bad all the time his rookie year). Even this year, he has had great scoring games directly adjacent to low single-digit scoring games. He followed up his 38 point…
Read MoreAl-Farouq Aminu 23 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
I’m tired of Al-Farouq Aminu. He’s been in the league for 7 seasons now, and while he’s a decent player (not this year tho), he’s not very exciting. If he was a rookie or something I’d probably be hyped for him, but he’s not, so I’m not. The NBA needs fresh blood. Here’s what I’m…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
Seeing how Jusuf Nurkic is playing in Portland, it’s kind of disappointing that they couldn’t make him work in Denver. But that’s water under the bridge now. Everyone has moved on, probably. There isn’t a single person involved with all this stuff that still holds a grudge against any of the other people. What, you…
