This was a very Giannis-esque performance by Brandon Ingram; just charge in there with your ridiculously long strides and score layups until the figure out how to stop you. It’s a great strategy (except that layups are boring and jumpers are awesome), I’ve seen it work for the Bucks for years, and it worked for…

Jusuf Nurkic 25 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2017)
Carmelo Anthony lingered outside the Blazers’ locker room after the game. He thought he heard a commotion inside, and he knew it wasn’t proper postgame etiquette to barge in unannounced, so he decided to wait until a player came out. After a few minutes of waiting, a frazzled-looking Jake Layman burst out. Carmelo moved quickly…
Read MoreNorman Powell 19 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2017)
These highlights aren’t really as good as I thought they’d be. That was what I was thinking throughout the whole process. Like, isn’t Norman Powell supposed to exciting and great and awesome? Raptors fans, those liars, led me to believe that he is a premiere young talent in the league. This video says otherwise. Yeah,…
Read MoreFrank Ntilikina 10 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/5/2017)
Jarrett Jack status: utterly, completely, entirely, totally, absolutely, and wholly obsolete, now and forever. Carmelo Anthony status: forgotten. Such is the power of the dynamic duo of Frank Ntilikina and Kristaps Porzingis. The chemistry they showed tonight, I’m gonna be honest it reminded me of Stockton and Malone except with the colors inverted. And with…
Read MoreKyle Korver 23 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2017)
If I am Tyronn Lue, after tonight I am officially initializing PANIC MODE, immediately applicable to the whole Cavalier organization. What does PANIC MODE entail, you ask? It varies from team to team, but for Lue and the Cavaliers it would include but not be limited to these things: – Lots of panicked hand/arm waving….

The Daylight Savings Time switch always messes with me. For all you Euros out there, Daylight Savings Time is basically a mind-control scheme conceived by politicians who want to legislate the very concept of time itself. 2+2=5 and what have you. It’s bull poo, but if you want to be on time for things, you…

Read MoreAvery Bradley 24 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2017)
Watching Avery Bradley just isn’t the same anymore. I love the Pistons commentators, George Blaha is the GOAT as far as I’m concerned, but there was something special about listening to Tommy Heinsohn croak out “Ayveree Brahdlee” whenever he did something exciting. Bradley’s game isn’t the most exciting for me (although he seems to be…
Read MoreDenzel Valentine 16 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2017)
If you are doubting the highlight-worthiness of this performance, I’ll leave you with this fact: this is the second most points Denzel Valentine has scored in a real life regular-season NBA game against real life NBA defenders who were actually trying to stop him. I know! It surprised me as well. For winning all those…
Read MorePatrick Beverley 23 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2017)
Patrick Beverley looks really old. Old and sad. I don’t know how old he actually is, but that thumbnail makes him look 40. And look at that hangdog expression. Man. It’s like he just found out that Russell Westbrook won MVP. Or maybe something about playing in Ukraine is supremely taxing on the body and…
