Tyler Dorsey 11 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

Tyler Dorsey strengthens his stranglehold on the title of “Best Dorsey in NBA History” by dropping in eleven points against the Magic. There’s not a lot of prestige in that title given that the other three NBA Dorseys have sucked rods varying in size from “medium” to “obscenely large”, but it’s something he’ll be able…

Tomas Satoransky 14 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

I just made a highlight video for Jakob Poeltl, who hails from Austria, and now I’m doing one for Tomas Satoransky out of Czechia (the Czech Republic if you’re not hip with the lingo). That’s cool. I love repping those countries who straddle the line between western Europe and Eastern europe. I did some research…

Jakob Poeltl 13 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

It’s obvious when you watch this game that the Raptors are finally playing free and loose thanks to the departure of one Bruno Caboclo. You think I’m joking right now? Obviously, you’ve never been in an NBA locker room. I have. Many times. And I can tell you right now that having such a big…

D.J. Augustin 18 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

Pascal Siakam 14 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

PASCAL SIAKAM THREE-POINT PERCENTAGE UPDATE: Pascal Siakam is now shooting 17 percent from beyond the arc. But for some reason he keeps shooting them. He must be nailing them in practice, but maybe he doesn’t realize this obvious fact about the NBA: EVERYONE nails their threes in practice. You can find clips of basically every…

Dwight Powell 18 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

The connection between J.J. Barea and Dwight Powell continues to astound me. How did these two guys, who are both average role-players at best, develop such great chemistry? Powell just goes to spots on the court where he thinks he can score from, and Barea gets him the ball in that spot to do just…

Dennis Smith Jr. 22 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

This game represented quite a departure for Dennis Smith Jr.: instead of doing everything in the fourth quarter, he did NOTHING in the fourth quarter! You might think that this is a negative, but it totally isn’t. In fact, this is a significant milestone in his development. Now that he’s proven beyond reasonable doubt that…

Jusuf Nurkic 24 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

Is it possible to set screens that are… too good? Too bone-crushing? Yes! Jusuf Nurkic had a whole bunch of turnovers tonight, too many I would say, but some of them were unfairly handed out because of the sternum-shattering nature of his screens. Those were legit screens, but because Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is a little baby,…

Otto Porter 27 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

Well, the Wizards totally blew that one. Good news is, it wasn’t really Otto Porter’s fault, unless you consider him disappearing a problem. Or, instead of “disappearing”, maybe it was more like “getting frozen out of the offense by chucker Beal”. If they had won this game, we could’ve continued with the whole “Wizards are…

Michael Beasley 21 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

Michael Beasley really has to step up now. If the Knicks have any chance of being watchable at all for the remainder of the season, he has to go out there and score 30 per game. It has to be the Michael Beasley show every night. No passing. Just one-on-one, mano y mano isos every…
