It’s really cool that the Magic brought in Tracy McGrady to talk about stuff while his old team played the Raptors. I’m sure he had some great insight/anecdotes/jokes or whatever. But he kind of totally ruined these Shelvin Mack highlights. Mack did his damage in the second quarter, coincidentally the exact time T-Mac was taking…

Jeff Teague 20 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
I don’t want to make Jeff Teague highlights, no one wants to watch Jeff Teague highlights, but here we are. Looking at three full minutes of Jeff Teague highlights and wondering where everything went so wrong. I could’ve made highlights of Boban Marjanovic scoring 4 points like 20 times in the time it took to…
Read MoreSean Kilpatrick 15 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
It’s so easy to forget that Sean “$ean$wag” Kilpatrick averaged 13 points per game last season. It might have been the least impactful 13 ppg ever in the history of all things, but he did it, and that takes skill. That skill, presumably, is still there to some degree, so why is he scrounging around…
Read MoreAlex Len 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
Alex Len has accepted who he is. He has excised the midrange jumper from his repertoire, and now operates almost exclusively around the basket. His percentages were really bad while he was trying to show the Suns that they didn’t draft only a garbageman. I have to imagine that they did think they were getting…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 16 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
The Pistons are getting to the point where they should give up trying to win games and just develop some talent for next year. Note that this different from tanking. They are way too far ahead (behind) of the other tanking teams for additional losing to help their draft slot. There is a subtle difference…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 23 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
What’s up with all these people who want to beef with Ricky Rubio? He is a participant in more beefs than any active NBA player, I think, and these aren’t fake Twitter beefs, these are PHYSICAL beefs. I wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps a makeshift shiv in his shoe, because it seems like every…
Read MoreDennis Schröder Career High 41 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
Dennis Schroder rummaged through his duffel bag, looking for the last bit of equipment he would need to face the Jazz. Where was it? Pushing aside various red-colored armbands, headbands, anklebands, and bodybands, he found what he was really looking for. The Magic Lederhosen, bestowed to him by none other than Detlef Schrempf himself. He…
Read MoreDirk Nowitzki 19 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
The list of people who have assisted Dirk Nowitzki on a shot is undoubtedly really long, and full of really weird names. I would only be 50 percent surprised to find that Mark Cuban was on it. Kyle Collinsworth is definitely on it now, if he wasn’t before, which he probably was. I don’t know,…
Read MoreQuinn Cook 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/19/2018)
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…
Read MoreJustin 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…
