Isaiah Taylor 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/28/2018)

So is Dennis Schröder actually injured or is he being held out because of his part in just totally beating the snot out of a guy in a parking lot along with three other dudes, tearing the dude’s ACL in the process, and then getting arrested and charged with a felony? Either way, the absence…

Jaylen Brown 21 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (3/28/2018)

In this game, Jaylen “B-Jay” Brown made just as many free throws (6) as field goals (6). Normally that would bother me because I hate free throws and wish that the penalty for fouls was a free point for the fouled team, possession of the ball, and the playing of fart noises over the arena…

Dillon Brooks 18 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)

Now there are two Brookses on the Grizzlies: MarShon (Mar$wag) and Dillon (no nickname, but I still pronounce his name Dill-On, which is almost like a nickname). Which one is better? Well, Mar$wag has only played one game with the Grizzlies, and he scored 21 points. Dillon only scored 18 in this game, but has…

Chandler Parsons 15 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)

Last season, Chandler Parsons played like complete sewer juice, shooting 34% from the field and generally not living up to his outsized contract even a little bit. This season, his shooting is roughly in line with career norms, and while he’s still not really earning his 23 million dollars (HOLY BALLS BATMAN), he’s not unplayable…

J.R. Smith 19 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)

“Hey, I just realized, you play for the Cavaliers, right?” J.R. Smith’s waiter said as he set the basketball player’s food down in front of him. “Yeah, that’s me,” J.R. replied, easily adopting the joking, friendly attitude that he reserved for fans. “When you didn’t recognize me right away I thought I would finally get…

Tobias Harris 27 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)

Tobias Harris continues to prove to the world that he can be inserted into absolutely any situation and succeed. It doesn’t matter how good his point guard is, or how good his center is, or what other players the team has at the small forward or power forward positions. You can start him or have…

Emmanuel Mudiay 22 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)

Emmanuel Mudiay isn’t done yet! I thought he would crawl into a corner and die after Trey Burke started over him last game and ended up with 42 and 12. That’s what I would do in that situation, and it’s also what I would do in almost any situation that caused me any stress at…

Tyler Ulis 23 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)

Attention supra-dimensional beings running the simulation of our universe: please arrange things so that Tyler Ulis scores at least 30 points before the season is over. It’s been a disappointing season for him and I want to see something to make me hopeful for next year. Thank you. Also, if you could tweak the parameters…

Wade Baldwin 15 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)

Wade Baldwin went very quickly from first-round pick with potential to out of the league. The Grizzlies drafted him 17th overall last year (in case you’re wondering who the 17th overall was this year so you can make comparisons, it was D.J. Wilson… DAMMIT), played him decent minutes to start the season, but he didn’t…

Mike Muscala Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)

Karl-Anthony Towns may have scored 56 points, but let’s not forget that he got torched by Mike Muscala to the tune of a career-high 24 points on the other end of the floor. It’s great that he can score so many points so easily but damn, he needs to work on his defense this summer….
