Jamal Murray 28 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2017)

Jamal Murray is the fifth best free-throw shooter in the league right now, and he showed off his sick talents at the stripe by going a perfect 6-for-6. Free-throw shooting is an underrated part of basketball; think of how much better Shaq would have been if he could hit those freebies. Think of how many…

Donovan Mitchell 32 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2017)

Last season was great, but it would have been a lot better if we could have somehow transported Donovan Mitchell into that rookie class. I didn’t fully realize it at the time, but last year’s rookie class was lame as heck aside from Embiid who didn’t play that much. If Mitchell had been there, I…

Nikola Mirotic 29 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2017)

I’m sure you’ve seen this stat by now: the Bulls are 4-0 since Nikola Mirotic returned from his facial fracturization. Is it a coincidence, or is Niko a top-10 player capable of carrying a team by himself, or is the truth somewhere in between? Let’s analyze the facts. Arguments in favor of coincidentiality: -Even bad…

Troy Daniels Career High 32 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/13/2017)

Troy “Ménage à Troys” Daniels, when he’s on, is one of the most electrifying shooters in the NBA. Any fan of a team he’s been on (except for the Timberwolves) knows this. And they also know that he is wildly incosistent. He’ll have a game where he hits a bunch of threes in no time…

Mario Hezonja 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/13/2017)

Now is the time for Mario Hezonja to perform. Due to the Magic’s tragic injury situation, minutes are being given to him no questions asked. If he is going to prove that he is not a bust, he has to do it now. There’s no pressure, no expectations. He’s starting from the bottom. Nowhere to…

Gary Harris Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2017)

I’m probably not the only one who had been slightly disappointed by Gary Harris’ play this season. I was still #hypedforgaryharris , obviously, but my hype was tempered by his reduced shooting percentages. His big contract doesn’t start until next year, and it’s not like he was sucking or anything, but I just expecting more….

Kent Bazemore 20 Points/6 Threes/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/12/2017)

Kent “Bazed God” Bazemore, has always been the kind of guy who can shoot threes, but he’s never had the reputation of being especially good at them. He’s hovered around 35% from three over his career, which is a high enough number where he is definitely allowed to shoot threes when he wants to, but…

Jeff Green 17 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2017)

My world has been thrown into a confused, swirling chaos. Why was Mike Fratello on the Cavaliers broadcast last night? It wasn’t a national game, the two normal dudes were still there (I call them “old white dude” and “dementia-addled black dude”), but then out of nowhere Mike Fratello starts commenting on plays like he’s…

Langston Galloway 18 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/12/2017)

I guess I didn’t really expect Langston Galloway to pull out his best Kyle Korver impression last night, but that’s exactly what happened and now I get to make a highlight video for it. He must have figured that the Pistons’ offense is broken to the point where he would only be able to get…

Jarrett Allen 11 Points/3 Dunks/2 Blocks Full Highlights (12/12/2017)

I would say that Jarrett Allen seems to be further along in his development than is normal for a 19-year-old big man. Why do I say that? It’s not because of the dunks (which are sweet by the way) or the blocks (also sweet) or the fro (please let me touch it). I say that…
