THE TAUREAN PRINCE CHAPTER II: Ominous Portents —————- Ferland lay face down on his bed for a bit longer, relishing the anger he felt. He was but one Arponian cycle from coronation day, yet he was still treated as a child! He imagined various ways he could get back at those who wronged him, Freylin…

Nicolas Batum 31 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
Nicolas Batum had a triple-double last game? Was this, like, a retroactively granted triple-double? Because I totally would’ve made a video for it had I noticed about, but I swear I did and I swear he only had 9 assists. Too late now. I don’t go back in time to do highlights. So I apologize…
Read MoreDragan Bender 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
Dragan Bender probably watched the highlights from Nikola Jokic’s triple-double last night (or he watched some vintage Roko Ukic clips [do any Roko Ukic NBA clips even exist?]), because he was whipping passes around the court like a maniac tonight. Is this what people were talking about when they kept claiming he “knows how to…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 40 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
Donovan Mitchell does it again. That’s two 40-burgers on the season for him now, compared to zero for all the rest of the rookies. He has over half of the top 15 rookie scoring performances, if that first stat wasn’t good enough for you. You want more? I can find more. How about this: he’s…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 20 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
This is one of the sickest highlight vids of the year, in my opinion. And my opinion is worth a lot, since I’ve made over a thousand of them this season. The reason? Jarrett Allen “have-it-all”ed tonight, and the Nets TV people accentuated his have-it-all-ness with plenty of replays. The Lakers bigs simply could not…
Read MoreJayson Tatum 27 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
I’d seen some chatter, before this game, speculating that Jayson Tatum had hit the “rookie wall”, which is a real place in the NBA offices in Secaucus, New Jersey where they take underperforming/slumping rookies, mount them to a rocket sled, and ram them into a big brick wall. Damn. That would make a good description….
Read MoreTerry Rozier Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
Triple-double in his first game as a starter. A career-high 31 points in his second game as a starter. I don’t want to diminish the accomplishments of Terry Rozier, because he’s been great, but one thing is very clear to me: Brad Stevens is the point guard whisperer. Kyrie Irving is good, but it has…
Read MoreDanny Green 22 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2018)
Danny Green was one of the players who brought the concept of an elite “3 and D” wing into the public consciousness. Do the Spurs win the 2014 Finals without Green’s high level of play? Actually they probably do because Green was nothing special on offense in that series. And they probably would have won…
Read MoreJerami Grant 18 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2018)
Okay, my heart rate has returned to normal, and I can feel all of my left arm and like 75 percent of my right one. I think it was this Jerami Grant video that did it; he had a good game, but was it EXCITING? Not at all. My hype from this game began diminishing…
Read MoreGary Harris 25 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights
It’s been a while since this game ended, almost an hour, and my heart rate is still super elevated. It’s like a hummingbird up in here. Am I supposed to be able to feel my arms? Because I definitely can’t feel my arms. I can’t really type because of it; I’m dictating this description to…
