“Sloppy Joe” Ingles just squared off against perhaps his closest analogue in the league, the similarly flabby, the similarly slow, the similarly crafty Jared Dudley. The main difference between them is that Ingles shoots about 9% from the threezone, and also that Ingles looks like a dad who went to pick up his kid from…

Bam Adebayo 15 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
Watching Bam Adebayo highlight videos just isn’t the same if there’s no Eric Reid describing every one of his slam dunks as a “Bam Slam” while Tony Fiorentino goes “oh man”. Since I found the Adebayo Experience to be so lackluster without those two providing the commentary, I had to provide my own commentary. I…
Read MoreJustin Jackson 17 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
Every player on the Kings except for Georgios Papagiannis and Jack Cooley has started at least one game for them. Justin Jackson, with ten starts, is just one of many players who has been declared to be “starter-quality” by whatever mysterious entity it is that determines those things. I guess I can’t argue with that…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 23 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
“Dear Jeremy, First off, sorry about the choice of cards. I tried to go to the store to get a normal thank you card but all they were selling was Valentine’s day stuff. Don’t get the wrong idea from all the hearts on the front. I definitely don’t want to be your valentine. I know…
Read MoreAlex Abrines 14 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
I understand that the “start Alex Abrines” experiment didn’t go so well earlier in the season, but the Thunder won two out of the five games where he got the start, so it’s not like it was the most disastrous thing either. Now the Thunder have started Terrance Ferguson for the last four games, and…
Read MoreSteven Adams 23 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
Sometimes I wonder who really is the star on the Thunder and who are the overpaid big-ego roleplayers. I think listing the statlines of all the starters might elucidate matters somewhat. Paul “Really Prefers LA” George: 15 points, 4-of-16 shooting Russell “Got the Triple-Double so Who Cares” Westbrook: 7-of-21 shooting, 14 ballhog assists, 10 statpad…
Read MoreJosh Jackson 20 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
Three 20-point games in a row for Josh Jackson! I know I sound like the Jazz commentators with their obsession for Donovan Mitchell 20-point games, but I think I’m allowed to get a little excited, especially since his career-high is still only 21, and since they’re coming off the back of an 0-for-13 night. This…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 25 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
20 shot attempts. 1 assist. Not an uncommon occurence in the NBA (Anthony Davis scored 48 without a single dime), but a strange one for Dënniß ßchrööder. I’m aware that he doesn’t really love passing the way some of the great PGs did, but only a single assist seems awfully low. There were recently rumors…
Read MoreE’Twaun Moore 26 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
E’Twaun “Moore Buckets” Moore lived up to his nickname tonight: he got a bunch of buckets! Fine, that’s not really his nickname. I don’t know what his nickname really is, and I’m not about to check basketball-reference; they made a fool of me when they told me Channing Frye’s nickname was “Buffet of Goodness” and…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 20 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
The “Point Nurkic” experiment has seemingly ended for Jusuf Nurkic and the Trailblazers. It was fun for a while right after he got traded, helping to build that Nurkic vs. Jokic storyline, but I think Portland decided they wanted the ball in Lillard’s and McCollum’s hands. All the time. And that’s okay. Nurkic can pass,…
