Dillon Brooks 22 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2018)

I was going to make a description comparing various Grizzlies players to characters from Game of Thrones, but then I ran into a serious and insurmountable problem: I’ve never watched Game of Thrones and only know a smattering of plot details. A “smattering” meaning “none”. Dammit! I don’t know how some people can consume both…

Ben McLemore 21 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2018)

Is it reasonable to say that Ben “DNP-CD” McLemore had a “revenge game” tonight against the Kings? I think it is. I don’t see any way in which this 21-point effort versus the team that spurned him/ruined his career/called him a bust right to his face was not an act of vengeance. His first game…

Jamal Murray 30 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (1/19/2018)

As this game drew closer and closer to its end, I was beginning to worry that Jamal Murray wasn’t even going to score 30. He had such a hot first half, and then a hot start to the third quarter, that 30 seemed like a forgone conclusion. Happily for me, for you, and for fans…

Vince Carter 15 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (1/19/2018)

This is how Vince Carter is going to stick in the league for a few more years. That 24-point performance he had a month ago was an aberration; he was driving to the rim like his knees had a whole decade of toil removed from them. It’s telling that he didn’t even play the game…

Bogdan Bogdanovic 15 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2018)

Just another game for Bogdan “BogBog” Bogdanovic. Those who were expecting something more after he scored 25 points are probably disappointed, but those people should have known better. Bogdanovic lets the game come to him. He plays at his own pace. He’s not going to chuck shots just for the heck of it, no matter…

Darren Collison 23 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2018)

I want to give a shout-out to my mans Darren Collison for hitting nothing but jumpshots last night. I would also like to award Collison with a secondary shout-out for only getting three assists, which means I only had to show his scoring in this video. He receives an unheard-of THIRD shout-out for not shooting…

Clint Capela 20 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2018)

“Hey Clint, we need you to do a huge favor for us.” Clint looked up from his phone to see Trevor Ariza, James Harden, and Gerald Green standing in front of him. All of them wore identical looks of determination on their faces. “Uh, sure. Maybe. What’s up?” “Trevor here says that he knows of…

Tyus Jones 13 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2018)

Tyus Jones is currently sixteenth in the league in Real Plus-Minus, which only proves to me that some secret cabal of stat-heads huddled in the deepest recesses of the ESPN headquarters invented RPM because they love Tyus Jones and hate Jeff Teague. But this secret cabal couldn’t make the numbers lie that much, because Teague…

Jusuf Nurkic 19 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2018)

I’ve been spoiled. After a recent NBA altercation where an actual punch was thrown, this skirmish between Jusuf Nurkic and Victor Oladipo seemed kind of weak. No one got ejected, all that happened was that Nurkic said some words while getting in Oladipo’s face and then Oladipo pushed him away. Lame. I prefer my sports…

Ivan Rabb 8 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2018)

Attention potential lottery picks: do not return for another year of college if people think you might go in the top ten. Especially do not do so if you know you are going to get worse instead of better during that extra year. It’s too late for Ivan Rabb, but maybe that advice will reach…
