Steven Adams Career High 27 Points/0 Missed Shots Full Highlights (12/1/2017)

Everyone has their own theory for why the Thunder are not performing to expectations. Iso this, Westbrook that, Donovan the other thing. As for me, I have no idea why they are sucking, and also no idea how to fix it. I gain most of my insight on teams while making these dinky little vids…

Jakob Poeltl 18 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)

Jakob “Der Große Wiener” Poeltl can only make layups. That is his entire offensive game. He cannot do anything else. Even when it looks like he can totally dunk it, he opts instead for a layup while barely jumping. Energy conservation? Perhaps, but to me it looks like he’s a being a pillow-soft Euro softie…

Tomas Satoransky Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)

Tomas Satoransky is playing so well in the absence of John Wall that I am willing to forgive the Czech Republic for Jan Vesely. Satoransky may need a few more good games before I am willing to forgive George Zidek, though. That one hurt a lot. Failed countrymates aside, Sato has surprised me with his…

Bogdan Bogdanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)

Full disclosure: I don’t know what the heck the Kings commentators were talking about when they said that Bogdan “BogBog” Bogdanovic could tie his career-high at the line at the end of the game. Is there some sort of 20-point game he had before that I didn’t know about? I find that unlikely. I know…

Donovan Mitchell Career High 41 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)

I was trying to think of the last rookie to score 40 in a game, and I was thinking really hard, and the best I could come up with was when Brandon Jennings had 55. That was a long, long time ago, all the way back in 2009. And I was wrong. Stephen Curry and…

Josh Richardson Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)

Josh Richardson has been broken this year. He’s worse in basically every category over his other two seasons in the league. Scoring rate, worse. Shooting percentages, worse, especially from three. Turnovers, worse. Assists, worse. Rebounds, about the same, but slightly worse. The only thing he’s been better at is starting every game instead of just…

Aaron Gordon 29 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)

I’d be more inclined to consider Aaron Gordon in the MIP race if he had more 20-point games this season. His scoring is way up, which is great, but a lot of the improvement comes from the two 40-burgers he’s had already this season. He’s scored in double figures every game he’s appeared in, but…

Jordan Bell 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/1/2017)

If you’ve been on the internet lately, and you definitely have, don’t lie to me, you may have noticed some controversy over something called “Net Neutrality”. Long story short, internet service providers (known by the snazzy acronym “ISP”s) are going to start slowing down the internet for people and sites until the pony up more…

Khris Middleton 26 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2017)

Now that Khris “Kha$h Money” Middleton has scored forty points in multiple games this year, I’m a little bit spoiled. I have seen his true scoring power unleashed in front of my eyes, so it leaves me frustrated and unfulfilled when his scoring is reined in. Basically, every time Kha$h Money scores in the twenty…

Jusuf Nurkic 25 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2017)

Jusuf Nurkic did his best to get his team the win against the Bucks, but he was fighting an uhpill battle against the combined efforts of Damian Brickard and C.J. McBrickum (not to mention Pat Brickaughton and Noah Vonafraidtoshoot). Theoretically, a matchup against John Henson and Thon Maker would be the perfect matchup to exploit;…
