Dennis Smith Jr. 23 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

The most exciting thing about this video, to me, is that it shows definitively that Nerlens Noel is alive and ready to catch lobs. As a card-carrying member of the Nerlens Noel fanclub and certified conductor of the Nerlens Noel hype-train, this season has been a huge disappointment for me. But I’ll wait until Noel…

Dario Saric 25 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

I’m still recovering from this Bucks victory of the 76ers. Sadly, I don’t think Philly fans will ever recover. This one was brutal. I think Dario Saric is the one 76er who is not at least partially to blame for this loss. Maybe you could say that he should’ve been more aggressive as the game…

Elfrid Payton Triple Double 11 Pts/14 Asts/10 Rebs/1 Ejection Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

I don’t really know what Elfrid Payton did in that end-game skirmish to get ejected, but he must have done something, because he definitely wasn’t in the game or on the bench after that point. I keep rewatching the “fight” and I’m not seeing anything particularly egregious. Maybe he concealed an improvised shiv made from…

Tobias Harris 26 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

Tobias Harris trade history: Milwaukee trades him to Orlando for a half-year rental of J.J. Redick, in an attempt to bolster their playoff chances. They get swept by the LeBron James-lead Heat as the 8th seed. Tobias immediately thrives with his new team. Orlando trades him to Detroit for Ersan Ilyasova and Brandon Jennings. Both…

Austin Rivers 27 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

Austin Rivers is averaging 15 points per game this season. I’m gonna be honest here, when he first came into the league he didn’t look like a guy who would ever average 15 points per game. He looked like the kind of guy who would be out of the league after his rookie deal was…

Caris LeVert Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

This must be what people were talking about when they gave Caris “Baby Durant” LeVert his nickname: the ability to score 27 points and have it not even feel like that big of a deal. As you can tell from the title of the video, this is Baby Durant’s career high. You could look at…

Nikola Mirotic 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

It took a little while, but I think the Pelicans are figuring out how to win without DeMarcus “Ewing Theory” Cousins. I wish I could say that the reason for that is because Nikola Mirotic has stepped and directly replaced, stat-for-stat, all of Cousins’ production. Wouldn’t that be the sweetest thing ever? Mirotic has definitely…

Bogdan Bogdanovic 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

The Kings choked away the entirety of a 19-point lead tonight against the Knicks. That might sound really bad, because the Knicks suck and everyone knows it, but it’s easy to forget that the Kings suck too even though they’re the ones who got the big lead in the first place. There was perhaps a…

Taurean Prince 22 Points/1 Fight/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve had a player with a fight and a game-winner in the same game. It’s probably happened plenty of times before, but this is a first for me, and I’m really excited. Fights and game-winners are two of the things that can happen in a basketball game…

T.J. Warren 35 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

I was getting worried that T.J. Warren would have another 30-point game where he didn’t shoot a free throw (yes, it has happened before). He eventually did shoot a pair late in the game, but those were his only two. Add in his singular three-pointer and you get yet another typical Warren scoring display. Almost…
