Jeff Teague 30 Points/16 Free Throws Full Highlights (1/22/2018)

I didn’t want to do it. I really didn’t want to do it. However, sometimes I must put the needs of the community ahead of my own. This actually isn’t one of those times because the community definitely does not need to see Jeff Teague making 16 free throws with a few buckets interspersed sparsely…

Mario Chalmers 17 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2018)

Mario Chalmers cemented himself into basketball history by winning two championships with the Heat, and his cemented place in those hallowed halls is even more cemented than usual because he actually played well in those playoffs. A lot of scrub-type players will, by default, be noted in the history books as having won a ‘chip,…

Jeremy Lamb 18 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2018)

I sort of feel like Jeremy “Sleepy Eyes” Lamb is breaking out this year but nobody realizes or cares because the Hornets as a team are so uninspiring. I didn’t even fully realize it myself until I realized that I had no material ready for this description, so I pulled up Sleepy’s basketball-reference page and…

Montrezl Harrell 23 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/22/2018)

I don’t know how closely they compare as players, but what I do know is that Montrezl “Mon-Trezzle” Harrell pretty much replaces all the dunking that is missing from the Clippers’ lineup when DeAndre Jordan is out. He doesn’t care that he’s only six-foot-eight. He’ll dunk it anywhere, anytime, and he’ll make sure to mistreat…

Milos Teodosic 15 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/22/2018)

Milos Teodosic is slowly but surely dragging his field goal percentage out of the gutter as he becomes acclimated to the NBA game and as his foot injury bothers him less and less. In January he’s averaging 11 points and 5 assists on 47% shooting (43% from three), a far cry from the month of…

Nemanja Bjelica 18 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2018)

Why does Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau hate Nemanja Bjelica? More importantly, why does he hate the country of Serbia and all its people? Bjelica is shooting career-high percentages right now, he’s basically a perfect stretch four, and he’s in his prime, yet he only gets fifteen minutes per game. I get that Taj Gibson is…

Myke Henry 12 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2018)

I basically have no angles with which to attack this description from. With the more notable players, there are dozens of possible description themes. With Myke Henry, there are two: what he did in this particular game, and the fact that two-way contracts are really messing with my ability to stay up to date on…

Jusuf Nurkic 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/22/2018)

Jusuf Nurkic sat in the back row of the team plane. The mood was subdued; they had just lost, and his teammates knew that this game had meant a lot to him. Occasionally one of them would glance back to where he was sitting by himself, see his stony glare, and quickly snap back to…

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/22/2018)

I’m glad that Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot is taking the “TLC” moniker and running with it. The Learning Channel doesn’t deserve it anymore. How can you call yourself “The Learning Channel” when all you show is bullcrap? This is why people aren’t paying for cable anymore, why they are cutting the cord. Because they don’t want to…

Dario Saric 22 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2018)

I haven’t seen even one comparison between Dario Saric and Malcolm Brogdon this season. They were all over the place (including on this channel) at the end of last season, and now they’re gone. Two fanbases vigorously defending their candidate for Rookie of the Year, exchanging hurtful words and disparaging the opposing side. Now, both…
