Elfrid Payton 19 Points/9 Assists Suns Debut Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

Apparently a point guard averaging 13 and 6 while shooting 52 percent from the field is only worth a second-round pick these days? This snarky comment was brought to you by the Payton Hair Preservation Association, whose stated goal is the preservation of Elfrid Payton’s hair due to its status as a unique representation of…

Thon Maker 13 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

Credit where credit is due: Thon Maker has not looked as horrifically unplayable these last few games as he did at the beginning of the season. He likely still is (horrifically unplayable), but at least he sometimes does positive things on the court, enough to fool the casual observer. I still have no confidence whatsoever…

Wilson Chandler 26 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

What happened to Wilson Chandler? I remember advocating for him multiple times for 6MOY, he ended up starting too many games but averaged a career-high 16 points per game anyway. He was GOOD. I liked him a lot, then this season came around and he regressed hard. Way harder than one thinks a guy who…

Josh Jackson 20 Points/5 Assists/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

Josh Jackson has been taking some lessons from T.J. Warren, the main lesson being: if you want BUCKETS, just cut to the rim over and over until your dumbass teammates figure out what you’re doing and give you the ball. Is Warren old enough to be a vet? Because that is some vet wisdom right…

T.J. Warren 31 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

I estimate that I’ve seen around 40 percent of T.J. Warren’s buckets this year just from doing highlights. Maybe even more. I’m not going to go in the exact details of the maths I used to come to that number, but rest assured, it was very complex maths. Luckily my sciency dork friend had a…

Allen Crabbe 28 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

Allen Crabbe just put up the three-chuckingest performance of the season, shooting 18 triples in 44 minutes in this double-OT loss to the Pelicans. He made 8 of them, which is also cool, but not as cool as having the nads to shoot 18 times from deep. Can you say Antoine Walker? Except Walker didn’t…

Nikola Jokic 21 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

I might as well change my channel name to “DownToShowHighlightsOfWhiteEuros”, because I’ve now made five White Euro highlight vids in a row. Before you freak out, I have my reasoning: I’m not exactly sure how timezones work (sounds like a bunch of sci-fi time-travel hooey to me, but I’ll roll with it for now), but…

Dragan Bender Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

Nearly everyone (including me), minus some home-country supporters, has been critical of Dragan Bender’s development up until this point. Most acknowledge that he’s young and was raw to begin with (and now his team sucks, which doesn’t do him any favors), but that didn’t fully excuse the anemic production and timidity on the court. What…

Nikola Mirotic 21 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

21 points, 16 rebounds, 5 blocks. That’s more of an “Anthony Davis” statline than a “Nikola Mirotic” statline, but we’re living in crazy world where nothing makes since anymore, and Mirotic now plays a traditional power forward role instead of the “chuck threes like a shooting guard” role he played in Chicago. As usual, I’m…

Tomas Satoransky Career High 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/10/2018)

Before we get out our pitchforks and crucify (yeah, I know crucifying usually happens with crosses but I bet it can be done with pitchforks) Bobby Portis for flagrant-2ing Tomas Satoransky near the end of this one, let me say that he got mostly ball on his block attempt. Satoransky landed horribly, but it wasn’t…
