Shabazz Napier 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2017)

Three straight 20-point games in a row for Shabazz Napier. I normally would say something like “who even needs Damian Lillard right now”, but I’m pretty sure that, despite this nice stretch for ShabazzleDazzle, LIllard remains the better player. Hot take, I know. What the Blazers could consider doing is maybe dialing back Lillard’s minutes…

Kobi Simmons 17 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2017)

I thought about it really hard and really thoroughly, and I decided I’m not even going to make jokes about about Kobi Simmons and other past/present NBA players who may share a similar name with him. Not even going to do it. You are free to do so in the comments, if you wish. I,…

Tyler Johnson 31 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2017)

Shown in this video: A neckbearded Tyler Johnson scoring 31 points, 1 short of a career high, including 22 in the third quarter. Not shown in this video: everything else on earth, most notably the play where Tyler Johnson got maliciously fouled (with no call) and slammed his head on the hardwood. When I saw…

Luke Kennard 20 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2017)

Does Luke “Groundwalker” Kennard look like Peyton Manning or is that just me? I swear this isn’t one of those “all white people look the same” deals. I think it’s his forehead. That thing’s like a fivehead except for the little wisp of hair he’s got covering it. But even if he does look a…

Aaron Gordon 39 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2017)

Aaron Gordon’s remark of “People aren’t going to take us lightly and if they do, we’re going to blow them out.” looked good when he said it, back when the Magic were winning games and looking unstoppable on offense. Turns out, their three-point shooting was unsustainable, Gordon won’t score 40 every night and even if…

John Henson 18 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/29/2017)

Sorry Thunder fans. Giannis totally stepped out of bounds on the game-winning drive. But the good news to take away from this game is that we are seeing the resurgence of John Henson. That probably doesn’t make you feel any better, but it makes ME feel better, because I remember when this guy was getting…

Larry Nance Jr. 16 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2017)

The Lakers just had a players-only meeting (or maybe Coach Walton was involved too, I don’t know) to address their frustrations with the team as the losses continue to pile up. That meeting occurred before their game against the Clippers; apparently it didn’t work, because they lost this one too. Larry Nance in general seems…

Jerian Grant 11 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (12/29/2017)

Jerian Grant was the direct beneficiary of Nikola Mirotic and Lauri Markkanen being hotter than the surface of the sun during this game against the Pacers. All he had to do was hit them with passes that were reasonably timely and accurate, and then those dudes would hit their shots and Grant would get free…

T.J. Warren 26 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2017)

More buckets for T.J. Warren. It can’t be understated how great this guy is at getting buckets. Who cares if he doesn’t really do anything else besides making two-pointers? As Andrea Bargnani once wisely said, they don’t call it ReboundBall. I’ll go further and say they don’t call it ThreePointerBall either. That said, if he…

Otto Porter 26 Points/7 Threes/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/29/2017)
