Spencer Dinwiddie 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/20/2017)

At the end of last season, Spencer “Din-Dins” Dinwiddie showed us something. Not only did he show us that a player with a 70’s-era fro/moustache combo can look cool in the 2010’s, he showed us that he has a little bit of game as a tall, rangy point guard who can shoot and pass. Now,…

Frank Kaminsky 21 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)

Right now I don’t even know who the second option on the Hornets is. Obviously the first option is Kemba “Brandon Jennings 3.0/Damian Lillard 0.8” Walker. But after that the heirarchy of the team is all confused. I suppose under normal circumstances the second option might be Nic Batum, but he’s dead for the time…

Dennis Schröder 25 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)

“Hey Rookie.” John Collins looked up to find his teammate Dennis Schröder standing in front of him. “Hey Dennis. Do you need me to get more donuts for the team?” he joked. Dennis did not laugh. “I have something serious to discuss with you. Something much more serious than requesting another errand of you.” John…

Mike James 13 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)

If Tyler Ulis doesn’t watch out, Mike James will take the title of “best midget point guard on the Suns” for himself. After scoring twelve points in ten minutes in the Suns’ disastrous opener, he was rewarded with 12 additional minutes of action, and scored exactly one more point. This is something called “progress”; you,…

T.J. Warren 24 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)

So T.J. “Warren Peace” Warren missed two free throws with a second remaining to tie the game. That really sucks for him; most likely he’s now afflicted with “Nick Anderson Syndrome” and will never be the same player again. Every time he steps up to the line he’ll have vivid PTSD flashbacks and turn into…

Kyle Korver 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (10/20/2017)

There’s a new Kyle K in the league, the young hotshot Kyle Kuzma, but this newbie would do well to remember who the real Kyle K is. You know, the one who regularly leads the league in three-point shooting? The one who is coveted as a teammate by every superstar in the league? The one…

Luke Kennard 11 Points Pistons Debut Full Highlights (10/20/2017)

Stan Van Gundy is not wasting any time in confusing Pistons fans (and Pistons players) with his unpredictable rotations that are most likely a result of a self-made artificial intelligence which attempts to analyse Twitter posts. Luke Kennard did not play in the first game of the season; instead, Stanley Johnson (who was in the…

De’Aaron Fox 9 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (10/20/2017)

De’Aaron Fox and Skal Labissiere: the new Stockton and Malone? Here’s a hint for you dummies out there: when I start off a description with a question, the answers is always yes. Always. So if you’re finding it hard to find two brain cells to rub together, just remember that simple fact and you won’t…

Kyle Kuzma 15 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)

Attention Lakers fans (even Lakers fans in Phoenix): you are not allowed to yell “KUUUUUUUUUZ” after Kyle Kuzma does something good. The rights to that chant belongs exclusively to Knicks fans, who chant it for Mindaugas Kuzminskas. They borrowed it from Golden State fans, who had no more use for it after Ognjen Kuzmic departed…

Ricky Rubio 19 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (10/20/2017)

The reception Ricky Rubio got from the fans in his return to Minnesota was about what I expected. Polite, appreciative, but not roaring or anything. It wasn’t like the KG return, that’s for sure, and that’s how it should be. For those that weren’t paying attention, I have compiled a list of accomplishments the Timberwolves…
