The comments of the Suns commentators got me thinking: when are we gonna see Troy “Triple Troy” Daniels in the three-point contest? Getting into the contest isn’t all about percentage (although Daniels’ percentage is currently a somewhat pedestrian [for him] 40.2%); it’s also about volume, and that’s where Daniels falls short. One of three things…

Josh Jackson 19 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2018)
The good: Josh Jackson scored 19 points in 23 minutes. He took eighteen shots, but as long as he scores more points than he attempts field goals, that’s fine. He also had a big-time whamjam which later earned him the nickname “Josh ‘Clyde’ Jackson” from Suns commentator Eddie Johnson. The bad: Josh Jackson fouled out…
Read MoreIvica Zubac 14 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (2/23/2018)
Ivica Zubac has crossed over into the fabled category of players who shoot over 60% from the field. Unfortunately, he hasn’t had enough field goal attempts this season for it to really mean that much other than he’s played well in the games where he actually gets a non-trivial amount of minutes. After scoring 19…
Read MoreIan Clark 21 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2018)
Ian Clark utterly failed to capitalize on his bananas 19-point first half tonight. For some reason I was feeling pessimistic while his total in the boxscore kept inching upwards, like I knew this was going to happen. Well, it has, and 21 points isn’t even that exciting. He even had a whole overtime and wasted…
Read MoreClint Capela 25 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2018)
I had been told by learned NBA minds that Karl-Anthony Towns was an improved defender this year. And you know what? I believed them. I was taken for a fool. After watching this video, the notion that KAT is anything other than absolute fetid sewer dumpster garbage trash on the defensive end cannot be supported….
Read MorePascal Siakam 17 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2018)
If the Bucks had lost this game, I would’ve remained mad for about a week because of the BS shot that Pasacal Siakam hit with 2 minutes left in regulation. Happily for me and for every sane individual who loves America, the Bucks managed to pull it out, and I was only mad about Siakam’s…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 27 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2018)
These are not, in my opinion which means more than yours, the greatest T.J. Warren highlights ever assembled. But since all of my older ones got deleted, this particular vid becomes, de facto, the best! I hope you like leak-out transition layups. And a three. That’s really the high point of the vid, once you…
Read MoreIsaiah Taylor 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/23/2018)
Isaiah Taylor played 22 minutes tonight compared to Dennis Schroder’s 27. In a system where minutes were doled out based solely on how good players were, the difference would be closer to 30 than 5. But the Hawks aren’t running that kind of a playing-time-distribution system. One thing that affects the minutes situation is that…
Read MoreTobias Harris 30 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2018)
The only All-Star weekend festivity I watched this year was the three-point shootout. I don’t think I’ve even seen a dunk from the dunk contest or a skill from the skills challenge or a bucket from one of the various real games, and that’s fine. All that stuff is lame, but the three-point shootout, now…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 28 Pts/11 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (2/23/2018)
Is Nikola Jokic, officially, “back”? He was looking so far from his usual self that I wondered if he fell off the wagon and started drinking (Coca-Cola) again. I wasn’t yet thinking that maybe the Jokic of last year was an anomaly, but maybe I started thinking about thinking about it. Now he has three…
