At some point, without anyone noticing, Spencer Dinwiddie became one of the better backup PGs in the league. I admit, after his stint with Detroit ended, I thought he was done as an NBA player. Dudes who shoot way under 40 percent and then depart the team that drafted them are not usually long for…

Justin Holiday 27 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2017)
We’re a pretty decent chunk into the season and Justin Holiday is maintaining the slimmest of leads over his brother in the “Holiday bros PPG battle”. Before tonight he was losing 14.4 to 14.3 vs Jrue, but these 27 points should put him over the top because Jrue really sucks now and doesn’t usually score…
Read MoreKris Dunn Career High 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/17/2017)
This is it. This is the career-defining performance for Kris Dunn. If he ends up being a perpetual All-Star, we will be able to pinpoint the start of his ascent to this very moment. And if he kinda sucks for the rest of his career, we can say that this game at least made it…
Read MoreRaul Neto Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2017)
Not only is this a career-high performance for Raul Neto, this is REALLY a career-high performance for Raul Neto. He smashed his old high-water mark of 15, smashed it like a big Brazilian booty, scoring 22 in the absence of Ricky Rubio. I’m looking at Neto right now, and I’m thinking “do the Jizz even…
Read MoreRyan Anderson 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/16/2017)
I guess you can’t complain too much since his team is winning so many games, but Ryan Anderson has turned in some real dud scoring performances this season. In seasons past, 24 points would not be especially notable for Ryno, but I fear he has been marginalized on the roster and that I should be…
Read MoreJosh Jackson 16 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2017)
So, we’ve all been told that Josh Jackson is a supreme athlete and explosive leaper who makes Derrick Jones Jr. look like Luke Ridnour. This is the narrative that surrounds last year’s 4th overall pick. So why does he go up so weak with his dunks? He had two easy breakaway slams in this game,…
Read MoreGreg Monroe 20 Points Suns Debut Full Highlights (11/16/2017)
By the time Greg Monroe got traded away from Milwaukee, he had made me into a fan. I won’t lie to you and say that some of his tendencies didn’t annoy me, like his inability to defend the rim, his desire to take elbow jumpers after standing there with the ball for five seconds, his…
Read MoreTroy Daniels 23 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/16/2017)
This is what Troy Daniels does. He shoots three-pointers. Historically, somewhere between 60% and 80% of his shot attempts come from the deepzone. It was only a matter of time before he had a shooting display like this for the Suns, the fifth stop in his young NBA career. If he gets minutes on a…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 22 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2017)
The Celtics keep winning games. Gordon Hayward is sitting in some dim room somewhere looking at his mangled ankle and wondering where it all went so wrong. Meanwhile, everything is going right for the Celtics, basketball-wise. Is Brad Stevens so good of a coach that he can drag this good but not great roster to…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 26 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/15/2017)
Tim Hardaway Jr. has surprised me in these past few games with his playmaking ability as well as his rejuvenation as a scorer. He was drawing some attention at the beginning of the season (not the good kind of attention) for being inefficient and basically useless, but he has again shown us snide internet commentators…
