Quinn Cook continues his strong run of play in the absence of Curry, Durant, and Thompson. He didn’t set another career-high in points, but he did tie a career-high in assists with five of them. I don’t really care as much about assists as some people, and the first assist in particular was total donkey…

Justin Jackson 15 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2018)
Justin Jackson this game: 7/9 FG, 15 points Garrett Temple this game: 1/10 FG, 2 points This is one of those times where playing the rookie over the veteran isn’t a tanking move, but actually a move that might help win games. I still feel like Temple is the better player overall, but if he’s…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 20 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2018)
I had a scary and exhilarating experience last night. So, pretty much every night now, me and my 12-foot-tall purple 3D-printed plastic sentient naked statue of Buddy Hield go for walks in the area around my place. The weather here in Wisconsin is getting a little bit warmer, not that I think the cold affects…
Read MoreWilson Chandler 26 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (3/19/2018)
Wilson Chandler scored 26 points in this one, and scored 26 points in another game about a week ago, so I had formed the half-baked impression that he had improved his play lately. Getting your season-high in points twice in a week means something, right? Then I checked the stats and my ill-informed opinion was…
Read MoreJames Johnson 31 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2018)
“James, come over here for a second,” Erik Spoelstra said to his player as the team prepared for the start of the first overtime. James Johnson raised one eyebrow. He figured his coach would give them all a peptalk, not just take one of them off to the side for some one-on-one coaching. But he…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 30 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/19/2018)
The Miami Heat just hung up 149 points on the Denver Nuggets, which is a new franchise-high single-game point total. There’s two gigantic asterisks next to it where the number is in the record books, one asterisk for the first overtime and one asterisk for the second overtime, but there should be a third asterisk…
Read MoreAndrew Harrison 19 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/19/2018)
Andrew Harrison is back! No one noticed he was gone in the first place, besides the sole remaining Grizzlies fan (you have my sympathies), but he definitely played tonight after not playing for a while so that means he is back for sure. At this point, I don’t know why the Grizzlies wouldn’t just sit…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 22 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2018)
The Brooklyn Nets look like they’re having a fun time playing basketball. A lot of bad teams get sort of sulky by the end of the season, not displaying the usual comradeship in the usual amounts. Not the Nets. They suck, but they’ve got each other’s backs. Even the way they play is fun. They…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 30 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2018)
Bucks fans are starting to turn on Khris Middleton a bit. Mostly because he doesn’t play a whole ton of defense anymore, but also because he likes to shoot iso midrange jumpers. Now, I agree with that first one. I can see where people are coming from on that. But the isos? I love those…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 21 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (3/19/2018)
I want Malik Rose. Where is Malik Rose? I don’t like Alaa Abdelnaby. I like Marc Zumoff. And Malik Rose. Bring back Malik Rose please. I don’t want to say that the best recent era of 76ers basketball is being ruined by the commentary, but it does make me marginally less excited to tune in…
