Why was Tobias Harris, as evidenced by the thumbnail, crying tonight? I watched and rewatched the footage around the clip in question, and I couldn’t find any reason for as to why he’d be shooting free throws with tears leaking out of his eyes. But it’s there, plain as day: a grimacing and lachrymose Tobey…

Yogi Ferrell 18 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2017)
That insane three-point shooting performance Yogi Ferrell had on national TV really inflated his reputation among NBA fans. That was the first many people had seen of him, and probably also the last. First impressions mean a lot, because I still see people talking about him as if he’s some sort of incredibly underrated young…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 14 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2017)
The Pistons, expectedly or unexpectedly, are winning a bunch of games right now. For me, I’m going to go with “unexpectedly”, because I figured they were gonna be the same kinda-okay 8th seed that they always are. I don’t know the reasons for their sudden improvement, but I do know that it sucks for Luke…
Read MoreKris Dunn 15 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)
If there’s anything positive to take away from the Bulls’ spanking, 94-133, at the hands of the Spurs last night, it’s that Kris Dunn scored fifteen points on a varied selection of shots: layups, midrange, the three, he did a little bit of it all. Just forget that it took him fifteen shots to score…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 18 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)
“Hey John, you’re friends with a lot of the league, right?” Kelly Oubre asked his teammate John Wall as they changed into their street clothes. “Sort of,” John answered suspiciously, giving a sidelong glance to Kelly. “Why you asking?” “Oh, no reason,” Kelly replied. He paused for a bit, tying the laces on his stylish…
Read MoreTaurean Prince 19 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)
So I know I promised you guys that I would write up the first chapter of my new sci-fi novel entitled “Taurean Prince”, which isn’t about the basketball player at all but is instead about the Prince of a race called the Taures who live on a different planet, but it turns out that I’ve…
Read MoreCourtney Lee 20 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)
Courtney Lee has been a bastion of absolute reliability for his entire time in the NBA. Even though he’s never been the long-term answer for any team at the shooting guard position, he’s performed his role competently at every stop along the way. He shoots well and defends, but I feel like most teams acquire…
Read MoreBrandon Paul 15 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)
Darn. I was hoping that the “Smooth and Chocolatey” catchphrase used in reference to Brandon Paul would carry through the entire season, but it looks like that was just a one-time joke for the Spurs commentators. It’s a horrible phrase, but it’s horrible in a way where you can use it every once in a…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 21 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)
Kyle “The Jakuzzi” Kuzma got outplayed by Lonzo Ball for one of the few times this season, but I would say that Kuzma is still in the lead in the “better Lakers rookie” race. Sure, he didn’t have a triple-double, and his hairline is merely average compared to the unbelievable straightness of Lonzo’s hairline, but…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 26 Points Full HIghlights (11/11/2017)
D’Angelo Russell showed off his “D’Angelo Chucksell” side in this game by not recording an assist until well into the second half. I can already imagine the rebuttals of pained Nets fans: “He has nobody to pass it to!” or “He made good passes but his teammates can’t hit shots!” or “He was supposed to…
