Taj Gibson 18 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2018)

Taj sat in his empty apartment at two in the morning. His sleep had been restless, so he had gotten up to calm his thoughts. However, it became clear after another hour of wakefulness that sleep would not be coming to him again that night. The emotions within him were too poignant, too acute to…

Dario Saric 20 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2018)

I could have tried to cash in on the hype surrounding Markelle Fultz by making a highlight video of his 10 point, 8 assist performance, but I have standards and integrity so I didn’t. It might not appear like I have standards, but I definitely do (especially when it comes to first-overall draft choices), and…

Jayson Tatum 23 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2018)

Third overall pick Jayson Tatum went up against fourth overall pick Josh Jackson last night, and I guess there were probably some people who were looking forward to an intense head-to-head matchup (I personally don’t care about player vs. player battles), but the results weren’t as conclusive as I would have liked, because both players…

Josh Jackson 23 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2018)

OFFICIAL PLAYERS WHO SHOOT LESS THAN THIRTY PERCENT FROM THREE WHILE TAKING TWO OR MORE THREES PER GAME POWER RANKINGS: 1. Russell “Chucksell Statpadbrook” Westbrook (29.5%) 2. Norman “Regression” Powell (29.4%) 3. Isaiah “Rejected by LeBron” Thomas (29.3%) 4. Dennis “The Bohemian Bricklayer” Schroder (29.0%) 5. Joe “Washed” Johnson (28.6%) 6. Stanley “He Plays Good…

Tyler Ulis 19 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/26/2018)

Just like last season, Tyler Ulis has waited until the month of March to show up and record some nifty statlines. Is he literally incapable of playing well on a team that’s trying to win games? Because both this year’s Suns team and last year’s incarnation were well into tanking mode by the All-Star break,…

Will Barton 25 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2018)

Will Barton got off to a great start in this one, scoring the first nine points of the game in the span of about a minute. If you want to watch that part and then close the video and resume staring blankly at the wall, you should. He ended up doing some more stuff after…

Jeff Teague 25 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/26/2018)

I was extremely surprised to see that Marquis Teague signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies. Surprised, and impressed. I saw how much he sucked in his first stint, and it was the kind of suckage that usually results in a permanent vacation from the NBA. So good on him for apparently doing so good…

Wayne Selden 23 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2018)

For what seems to be only the second or third time this season, Wayne Selden’s good play led to a Grizzlies win! I don’t know how they managed it, even Marc Gasol playing shouldn’t be enough to take down the Timberwolves, but they did, and Selden played a big part in it. He had 14…

Lonzo Ball 15 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (3/26/2018)

I truly believe that a large part of Lonzo Ball’s popularity is due to how fun his name is to say. “Lonzo Ball”. “Lon-zo. Ball.” “Ball” It’s great. Just a really great name, both in print and vocalized. Distinctive, too. The kind of name you can easily build a brand off of. There’s a reason…

Michael Beasley 27 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2018)

I wish I could say this was a revenge game for Michael Beasley, but, in what seems like a major career oversight, he hasn’t played for Charlotte, either as the Bobcats or Hornets, at all during his decade-long tenure in the NBA. He probably could’ve scored 30 a game on that one really bad Bobcats…
