Sterling Brown 15 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)

Sterling “Sterling Silver Money” Brown, aside from his nickname being a work in progress, is performing nicely for the Bucks this season. His stats are wholly underwhelming, so people who don’t watch the Bucks all the time might not understand what I’m getting at here, but he passes the “doesn’t make me want to kill…

Myles Turner 24 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)

I don’t get why Myles Turner has to be so inconsistent. Here’s what I’ve gleaned from compiling his highlights over three NBA seasons: if you want him to score points, just run pick-and-pops with him. Teams are willing to let him have the jumper a lot of the time, so he should take the jumper,…

Nikola Mirotic 26 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)

The way these Pelicans commentators were talking, it seems like they didn’t like Nikola Mirotic’s shot-selection the last few games. Huh. Let’s just get one thing straight here: shot-selection is a term made up by crappy offensive players to try and shame good offensive players into shooting the ball less. You think Kobe Bryant would…

Lauri Markkanen 22 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)

Lauri Markkanen has the best white-dude fro in the league since, heck, I can’t remember any recent players who rocked it at all. So we’re just going to go with Brad Davis. Lauri Markkanen has the best white-dude fro in the league since Brad Davis. It’s not even that big, yet it’s the best, which…

Dillon Brooks Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)

Dillon Brooks balled exactly hard enough to give Grizzlies fans the full load, but not so hard as to accidentally cost Memphis the loss. Perfect! Even fanbases of tanking teams want to feel like they have some young talent that is build-aroundable. Brooks is that talent! He is the “young core”. Other members of the…

Nicolas Batum 12 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2018)

Nic Batum has been on a diming spree since the All-Star break; in the eight games he’s played since then, he’s gotten 7, 8, 9, 12, 10, 8, 8, and 10 assists. His scoring has dropped off in that span, thanks to his new focus on getting his teammates involved: the most points he scored…

Tobias Harris 27 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2018)

I might have given up on my dream of seeing Tobias Harris average twenty points per game this season, but I can get partial fulfillment of that dream if he can at least average twenty PPG for the part of the season that he’s spent with the Clippers. After this game he’s sitting at 19.6,…

Montrezl Harrell 26 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2018)

Montrezl “Mon-Trezzle” Harrell made eleven field goals in this game, but only one of them was a dunk. If you had asked me beforehand to predict how many dunks he would have given his field goal total, I would have told you “five”. Unequivocally. It would have been five dunks. But we don’t get five…

Tyler Johnson 21 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2018)

The Heat can pretty much do whatever they want for the rest of the season and still make the playoffs, and one of those things that they did was start Luke Babbitt tonight. They don’t care! They know that the Pistons will never put things together enough to take their playoff spot, so why not…

Robert Covington 22 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2018)

This is Robert Covington’s best scoring game since the very beginning of December. Three whole months since he last scored 20. But he’s playing tons of minutes despite his extended slump, because Brett Brown knows what’s up, and what’s up is that Covington is still a positive player on the court even when he’s not…
