Norman Powell 25 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/24/2017)

According to the precepts of a shadowy and ill-understood branch of learning called “mathematics”, I have determined that, had Dwane Casey played his normal rotation, with Norman Powell receiving 0 minutes, the Raptors would have lost to Bucks in regulation. I’m not going to go too deep into how I came to this conclusion; such…

Joe Ingles 8 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (4/23/2017)

“Joe…Joe…” Gordon Hayward croaked. “What’s up man?” Joe Ingles replied, raising his eyebrows at Gordon, who was lying on the floor of the locker room wrapped in towels like a mummy. “I’m not gonna make it,” Gordon said weakly, his eyes closed and his face pale. “It’s over for me. I’m done.” Joe chuckled. “Man,…

Steven Adams 18 Points/3 Blocks/3 Missed Free Throws Full Highlights (4/23/2017)

For a while now I’ve been pondering a possible new feature of my channel: showing missed free throws in addition to the made ones. I might not do it for every player, but it’s definitely been tempting when it comes to big men with well-known woes at the free-throw line. What better way to get…

Joe Johnson 28 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/23/2017)

By my estimation, exactly two out of twelve field goals made by Joe Johnson last night were set up by a teammate of his. The other ten were strictly the result of Johnson’s isoing tendencies, tendencies which have fairly earned him the nickname “Iso Joe”. With Gordon Haywards’ minutes being extremely limited due to food…

Myles Turner 20 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2017)

There was a point this season where I was comparing Myles Turner favorably to Jabari Parker. That was when he was hitting his midrange jumpers at a rate that, looking back, probably wasn’t sustainable. But can you blame me? His best game of the season ended up being the first one, when he scored 30,…

Gerald Green 18 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2017)

These highlights are pretty good. Gerald Green, 18 points, a playoff career high? He even dunked it in this one, which is kind of weird since he barely dunked at all during the regular season. Yup, all in all, a pretty damn solid highlights package. But I’m thinking about how much more hyped I would…

Lance Stephenson 22 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2017)

If you look only at the Pacers’ record in this series, the Lance Stephenson experiment looks like a huge mistake. 0-4 against the same guy who got his ear viciously blown into by Stephenson? Obviously there was a grudge there, and obviously the Pacers should have let Stephenson continue rotting on his couch. That’s if…

Nene 28 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2017)

Say what you will about the questionable sequence of events that led to Nene’s 12th basket and 26th through 28th points, but the fact remains that the Thunder had let him score 25 points on 11/11 shooting prior to their endgame blunder. A team that lets a guy with gray in his beard put that…

JaVale McGee All 121 Dunks Full Highlights (2016-17 Season Dunkilation)

The team plane was silent; it was two in the morning, and everybody was asleep. Everybody, that is, except one JaVale McGee, who couldn’t get to sleep no matter how much he tried. His mind was preoccupied with rumors that had been circulating the locker room for some time, rumors that Stephen had somehow acquired…

JaVale McGee 14 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (4/22/2017)

It was looking like the Blazers had a good chance to beat the Warriors when they led by thirteen at halftime, but it just wasn’t meant to be. That’s okay, because the Warriors were without Durant for the second straight game, so the win wouldn’t have counted anyway. Meanwhile, the Warriors’ win counts 100% because…
