I seem to remember Dwight Powell being more of a jumpshooter than he appeared in this game. Yes, he did hit a corner three, but everybody does that these days. The taking and making of corner threes is no longer an indicator of whether or not somebody is a shooter. Case in point: Jarrett Allen….

Malik Beasley 12 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
Well, I don’t know how much longer Nikola Jokic is gonna be out, but I do know that I’m missing those sweet Serbian views on my videos. So I am initiating a new social media campaign with the goal of getting Serbs to adopt Malik Beasley as an honorary Serbian. That way, whenever The Measly…
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 14 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
Because I hate everything and want every player do to badly, I feel compelled to point out that, while De’Aaron Fox did indeed score fourteen points in the Kings’ overtime win over the Pelicans, he achieved the feat while going 5-of-14 from the field. Fox is still shooting over 40% on the season even after…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 18 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
So the 3D-printed Buddy Hield statue I have living with me is basically becoming more humanlike with every passing day. I mean, he’s still purple, plastic, and twelve feet tall (and naked), so it’s still pretty obvious that he’s not a homo sapien like me, but the dim consciousness he possessed when he first “awakened”…
Read MoreIan Clark 15 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
I consider Ian Clark to be roughly the same player as E’Twaun Moore, except Clark is worse. He played very well for the Warriors last year, but is struggling this year now that he doesn’t have Kevin Durcupcake and Stephanie Lurry and Klay Thompsucks on his team making things easy for him. Clark is getting…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 21 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
Serge “Ibaka Gaijin” Ibaka was getting called out a little bit by Jack Armstrong on the Raptors broadcast for not always bringing 100% effort, echoing the sentiments of some Raptors fans I have secretively observed on the internet in their native habitats. Maybe he’s getting comfy with his brand new contract where he gets paid…
Read MoreTreveon Graham 12 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
Staring at my computer screen with annoyance, I pick up my phone and hit the first number on my speed dial list. When the call is answered after just two rings, I don’t even allow the answerer to give his customary greeting. “Sup Adam,” I interrupt. “You probably know why I’m calling.” There’s a sigh…
Read MoreMarvin Williams 17 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
I thought that the Hornets would be a solid .500 team this year, but even Marvin “W-Marv” Williams’ 45% shooting from tripletown can’t drag them to better than a 9-15 record. Their overtime loss to the Bulls, who are awful, would seem to indicate that playoffs should no longer be an option for Buzz City….
Read MoreJayson Tatum 20 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
I didn’t even realize that Jayson “Jason Taytum” Tatum was leading the league in three-point percentage until it was brought up during this game. I thought that the guys doing the broadcast for ESPN were so afraid of losing their jobs that they would say any stat that they thought would attract more viewers, so…
Read MoreAvery Bradley 25 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
Avery Bradley was really clutch tonight, hitting a three (off a horrible Durant turnover) to put the Pistons down two with 30 seconds left. They didn’t end up converting the W, because they’re the Pistons and the Warriors are the Warriors, but it was nice to seem them give the Warriors a scare after the…
