Nicolas Batum Triple Double 10 Pts/10 Rebs/16 Asts Full Highlights (3/15/2018)

This is the most assists by a player in a Hornets uni since Kemba Walker somehow also got 16 back in 2014 even though he doesn’t really want to pass the ball as a general rule. Also of note: Raymond Felton got 19 for the Bobcats once, and Brevin Knight got 20. That last one…

Michael Beasley 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/15/2018)

I just want to reiterate my disappointment (seems to be a common theme lately, where are the players who are impressing me?) with Michael Beasley’s scoring after Porzingis got deaded.

John Collins 21 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2018)

John Collins is one of the brighter spots, maybe the brightest, amidst the endless tapestry of black that is the Hawks’ season.

Nikola Jokic Triple Double 23 Pts/12 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (3/15/2018)

Adam Silver was in attendance tonight, doing his usual Q&A sesh with the home commentators. He got to see up close the phenom known as Nikola Jokic. He got to see a “triple-double”. I put that in quotes because I really have to take issue with some of the assists. It’s fine, when the comissioner…

Al Jefferson 20 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2018)

I don’t really blame Jakob Poeltl for getting manhandled by Al Jefferson tonight. He’d probably never seen, much less defended against, a player with actual savvy post-moves. Maybe in practice Jonas Valanciunas tried that slow-ass jumper pumpfake on him, but that’s child’s play compared to what Jefferson was busting out against him. Jefferson is the…
