Danilo Gallinari 25 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

Danilo Gallinari did not have a fun start to the season. He played in the Clippers’ first nine games, but his scoring efficiency dropped hard off a cliff, and he shot around 30% from the field before mercifully getting injured. Unfortunately for the Clippers, the team was sort of counting on having his scoring or…

Mike Scott 22 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

After last year, I was pretty sure we weren’t going to see Mike Scott on this channel again. Not necessarily because of how bad he was (though he was pretty bad), but because he was going to be sitting in a prison cell somewhere in Georgia. Drugs are bad, kids, and they’re even worse if…

Nikola Mirotic 19 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

Nikola Mirotic lay in his hospital bed, watching the TV but not really seeing it. His thoughts were swirling, as they had been for days, thoughts of injustice and of… A sudden rap on the door startled him out of his reverie. Nikola cleared his throat, then rasped “Come in”. The door opened, and a…

Kris Dunn 17 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

Kris “Kringle” Dunn is proving the haters wrong, probably including me. I’m feeling equal parts lazy and sheepish, so I’m not going to recount all the ignorant hateful garbage I spewed in Dunn’s direction in previous descriptions. I actually don’t remember anything truly awful, mostly it was just me saying how much he was sucking…

Tyreke Evans 29 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

Oof. Tough loss for the Grizzlies in this one. Things just aren’t going their way. Good news is, if they keep losing games they get to punch their ticket for Luka Doncic in the upcoming draft. Bad news is, losing really sucks. More bad news is that I can tell Marc Gasol is losing his…

Mike James 25 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

Mike James recently became the first graduate of the NBA’s new two-way contract system. His allotted 45 days in the big-boy league were coming due, and the Suns had to either make room for him on their real roster or leave him to rot in the D-League for the rest of the season (I hope…

Alex Abrines 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

The Thunder narrowly avoided yet another disheartening loss to a bad team thanks in large part to Alex Abrines’ pair of overtime triples. It’s almost like someone other than a member of the “big three” is allowed to shoot the ball! Not only was he super clutch, but in what might be a first for…

Jonathon Simmons Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

Jonathon Simmons is no longer a young, exciting developmental project for the San Antonio Spurs. With his trade to the Orlando Magic, he arrived a finished product, a guy who will still get better but not by leaps and bounds, not by the amount he did just by going to a team that will give…

Ersan Ilyasova 26 Points/0 Missed Shots Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

Ersan “Arsen “Uzbek Thunder” Ilyasov” Ilyasova’s performance tonight would have been a lot more perfect had he not kinda choked at the free throw line at the end of the game. 9 of 9 field goals is sweet, no turnovers is sweet, but 3 of 5 from the line is decidedly NOT sweet. It ruins…

Nikola Vucevic Triple Double 31 Pts/13 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

This was a, dare I say it, Jokic-esque performance by Nikola Vucevic tonight? It even had the same general quality of assists that Jokic gets in his triple doubles: some nice passes for cutters, and a few where the only reason they got the assist is because of a generous scorekeeper. Doesn’t matter. Vucci Mane…
