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…

Brandon Ingram Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
Much like his fellow hyped-up purple-and-gold youngster Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram had a very disappointing opening night. I don’t know what caused it, but everyone on the Lakers that night seemed uninterested in putting balls in holes. It wasn’t the greatest start for a team that was hyped as, if not actually good, at least…
Read MoreLonzo Ball 29 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
Using the parlance of our times, Lonzo Ball has a lot of “haters”. Also using the parlance of our times, he also has a lot of “nuthuggers”. The first game of his career, last night, was a major victory for group one, as he was utterly shut down by a combination of Patrick Beverley, Magic…
Read MoreOtto Porter 28 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
It took a long time for the commentators in this game to acknowledge that Otto Porter was putting together a great offensive performance. Like, the whole first half went by, a first half were Otto-man had 20 points, without even a peep from them. I thought maybe the departure of that Chenier guy would lead…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic Career High 41 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
Way back in January of 2015, I wrote these words: “So I am officially done making Vooch highlights until he scores forty. Did I say forty? I meant fifty. No more Vooch videos until he scores fifty.” The cryptic word “Vooch” that I used represents Nikola Vucevic, if you were wondering. Now, some context. At…
Read MoreT.J. Leaf 17 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
What I’m about to present to you is the culmination of several weeks of hard work. No, not this highlight video. This video took about almost no time at all compared to the amazing creation that will now be shown for the first time. Give me a bit to compose myself. This is emotional for…
Read MoreDelon Wright 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/19/2017)
Last year, Delon Wright scored this exact amount of points on two occasions, and in none of the other twenty-five games that he appeared in did he score more than that. Once the season ended, there was a small amount of regret that I had not managed to honor the legacy of departed highlights legend…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 23 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2017)
In a way, Jonas Valanciunas performance tonight was by far the most impressive one on the team, even more than the raw point totals indicate. All his other teammates were matched up against role-players who aren’t very successful as NBA roster material. But Valanciunas was matched up against Robin Lopez, who is definitely NBA-caliber, and…
Read MoreC.J. Miles 22 Points/6 Threes Raptors Debut Full Highlights (10/19/2017)
Historically, there has not been much interest in highlights of C.J. Miles. Not much at all. Basically zero. Interest for C.J. Miles the sexy Instagram model is way higher, but for some reason I don’t get to do highlights of Instagram models. I’m stuck with the lame C.J., the one who played for the Pacers…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 17 Points Bulls Debut Full Highlights (10/19/2017)
“Hey man, uh, what you eatin’?” Lauri Markkanen looked up from his lunch to see Bobby Portis standing above him, struggling to hold back laughter, with Nikola Mirotic grinning stupidly at his side. Lauri glanced down at the tupperware container full of food. “Oh, this? This is…” “Huh huh, yeah, what is that that you…
