Marquese Chriss 17 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

Marquese “Mar-Kweezy” Chriss has been straight up booty for most of this year. He’s regressed pretty heavily from his rookie season and I’m not exactly sure why. Does he not have the trust of the coaches anymore? Earl Watson, Chriss’ rookie-year coach, was known as a “player’s coach”, so he probably would have given minutes/shots…

Tim Hardaway Jr. 24 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

I couldn’t really remember what the points threshold is for Tim Hardaway Jr. to get a highlight video these days, so you have my sincere apology if 24 points is not enough points. However, in my defense, he made eleven field goals, tied for fourth most out of all players who played in games last…

Joe Harris 19 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

I feel like I should be more excited about the momentous, historic occurrence that just occurred on my channel: I got to make highlights of two guys who played in the same game, but on different teams, who have the same last name. If this spooky confluence of events has happened before, I don’t remember…

Cheick Diallo 13 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

Cheick “Discount Diallo Cheick” Diallo had one of the most anomalous early-career performances that I can remember when he scored nineteen points in his third NBA game. The highlight video depicting the feat is gone now (keep praying for my channel to return and eventually Jesus will hear you), but the memory of it lives…

Jrue Holiday 30 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

The Pelicans seem to be clicking with their reduced core of Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday. Now that DeMarcus Lousins (I replaced the C with an L because he’s holding this L) and his 32% usage rate aren’t taking up a third of the team’s possession with ill-advised iso postups, Jrue can operate like he…

Dirk Nowitzki 23 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

It’s a sad time to be living in when Dirk Nowitzki’s season high in points is just 23, considering that he played seven straight seasons where he averaged 23 points per game or more. Then again, it’s also a happy time to be living in when 39-year-old Dirk Nowitzki can continue to give us vintage…

Dennis Smith Jr. 23 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

The most exciting thing about this video, to me, is that it shows definitively that Nerlens Noel is alive and ready to catch lobs. As a card-carrying member of the Nerlens Noel fanclub and certified conductor of the Nerlens Noel hype-train, this season has been a huge disappointment for me. But I’ll wait until Noel…

Dario Saric 25 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

I’m still recovering from this Bucks victory of the 76ers. Sadly, I don’t think Philly fans will ever recover. This one was brutal. I think Dario Saric is the one 76er who is not at least partially to blame for this loss. Maybe you could say that he should’ve been more aggressive as the game…

Elfrid Payton Triple Double 11 Pts/14 Asts/10 Rebs/1 Ejection Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

I don’t really know what Elfrid Payton did in that end-game skirmish to get ejected, but he must have done something, because he definitely wasn’t in the game or on the bench after that point. I keep rewatching the “fight” and I’m not seeing anything particularly egregious. Maybe he concealed an improvised shiv made from…

Tobias Harris 26 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

Tobias Harris trade history: Milwaukee trades him to Orlando for a half-year rental of J.J. Redick, in an attempt to bolster their playoff chances. They get swept by the LeBron James-lead Heat as the 8th seed. Tobias immediately thrives with his new team. Orlando trades him to Detroit for Ersan Ilyasova and Brandon Jennings. Both…
