Sterling Brown 14 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

I like Sterling Brown for the Bucks this season. He’s not great or anything, but he’s passable. I don’t know if I like him enough to be willing to see him play 40 minutes in a game though. That’s a lot of minutes for a guy who hasn’t proven himself in the league on a…

Joe Ingles Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

Joe Ingles AKA Jinglin’ Joe AKA The Trevally From Happy Valley AKA Sloppy Joe AKA Slo-Mo Joe AKA Jingles AKA Jingle Balls put up 21 points in short order tonight, tying his career-high. He must have known that, because as soon as he hit 21 with 7 minutes to go in the third quarter, he…

Steven Adams 25 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

Would the 1995-96 72-win Chicago Bulls have gone undefeated if they had present-day Steven Adams as their center instead of Luc Longley? This is a question that has interested me for a few weeks now, so let’s take a deep dive into the realm of factuality and extract the answer from those shadowy depths. Fact:…

Donovan Mitchell 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

If Donovan Mitchell really, REALLY wants to win the ROY award, he has to start having more assist-y nights like this one. He might win it anyway, because he’s such a highlightable player, but it’s easy to look at his super-duper high amount of shots attempted versus his assists as a short-ish shooting guard and…

James Johnson 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

13 points in 33 seconds? What about… 5 points in 5 seconds? T-Mac, hold this L. James Johnson’s points/seconds ratio makes yours look like Joel Anthony. Johnson may not have directly won his team the game (thanks Olynyk for making that free throw!), but he was the driving force. Johnson’s late outburst was just the…

Wayne Ellington 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

Wayne Ellington is one of about 20 players this year (including all those scrubs who played like 20 minutes in garbage time) attempting at least 10 threes per 36 minutes. That seems like a whole ton of threes, and it is. Just a few years ago, he’d be number one in that category, but nowadays…

Khris Middleton Triple Double 23 Pts/14 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

It was just a matter of time before this happened. Khris “Khobe” Middleton flashed a different part of Kobe’s game tonight, the part of his game where he decides to stop shooting endless midrange iso jumpers and instead tries to find his teammates, and does it so well that he gets a triple-double out of…

Wayne Selden Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

This was just an absolutely sick scoring exhibition by Wayne Selden. 31 points off the bench in 26 minutes. Out of nowhere. If there’s a more unexpected performance from this season, I can’t think of it. He just went out there and nearly willed the Grizzlies to victory by himself, by the power of his…
