Mason Plumlee 19 Points/5 Assists/1 Injury Full Highlights (3/8/2017)

Plumlee tried to emulate Nikola Jokic in this game, and he pretty much succeeded. He got five assists, which is an amount that we would expect Jokic to get. He scored nineteen points, which is an amount that would be a little bit low for Jokic, but still acceptable. He had ten rebounds, which is,…

Otto Porter 22 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)

When Bojan Bogdanovic got traded to the Wizards he immediately began to sap away the three-point shooting powers that rightfully belonged to Otto Porter. It couldn’t be more obvious to anybody who’s paying attention to the Wizards right now. Stealing away Porter’s powers through devious, possibly occult sorcery is a very mean thing for Bogdanovic…

Rudy Gobert 23 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)

Question to the people of France: if you don’t care about Rudy Gobert or Evan Fournier or Nic Batum or Kevin Seraphin anymore, who DO you care about? The French aren’t the most nationalistic people in mainland Europe (not even close), but you guys definitely have some nationalistic fervor building up in your loins and…

Tyreke Evans 26 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)

“I ain’t goin’ back there. Nope. No way,” Tyreke Evans told his agent over the phone. “Tell ’em I refuse to report.” His agent sighed. “I’m afraid you don’t have that kind of clout, Tyreke.” Tyreke would not be shaken from his position. “I don’t care. I’m not playin’ in Sacramento again. You know how…

David Lee 18 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)

Somehow David Lee scored 18 points on 8-of-8 shooting earlier this month and I totally overlooked it. I have already fired the guy who gets paid minimum wage to tell me which videos I should be making and am back to doing it myself (good help is so hard to find these days), but to…

Ricky Rubio 15 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2017)

Ricky Rubio has pretty much been averaging 12/10 on 40% shooting since the new year. Rubio has never been a consistent shooter for an entire season, but doing it for two and a half months is a pretty good start. And this is the guy they wanted to trade for Derrick Rose? My laughter is…

Clint Capela 19 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)

Unlike my last Clint Capela video, which was ruined by free throws (the Grizzlies are now on my official list of teams who I will refuse to make highlights of, forever, because they were hacking my man Clint), this video is not ruined by free throws because the Capellmeister didn’t make any of his free…

Manu Ginobili 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2017)

The Spurs somehow came back from 28 points down against the Kings while not being able to utilize the services of LaMarcus Aldridge (“fake star”) and Kawhi Leonard (“real star”). Having not watched the game or even any highlights from the game, I have made a power rankings of probable causes for the Spurs’ spirited…

Sean Kilpatrick 27 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)

Kids these days all want to wear t-shirts with big slogans written on them in block letters. I know this from experience driving by my local high school. I also know that they love any and all references to things having “swag”, especially when that thing is themselves. Being “swag” is essentially the #1 goal…

Stanley Johnson 17 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)

This is what happens when fringe teams go hard for the playoffs: their young talent rots away in the name of “wins”. The Pistons have a bunch of dudes who should probably get playing time (I’m actually mainly thinking of Henry Ellenson here), but don’t, because SVG desires nothing more than the 8th seed and…
