Kyle Kuzma has delivered after his impressive Summer League (which seems so long ago, now). I didn’t think he would, really. No one ever does, I’ve been burned by Josh Selby and the like so many times that I’m beginning to think it’s better to suck in Summer League. I’m pretty much ready for this…

Donovan Mitchell 26 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
I haven’t abandoned Donovan Mitchell yet! Unlike Ben Simmons (who is definitely way too good [or gets too many stats anyway] for my channel so I just sorta stopped making vids for him), if Mitchell has a good enough game, I can still dredge up a vid from the murky swamp of my willingness. Mitchell…
Read MoreClint Capela 21 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
The Rockets are going to win the championship, aren’t they? I’m sitting here munching on a Pop-Tart, and I’m watching Capela-Harden/Paul pick-and-rolls, and my hope for a non-Houston chip gets lower and lower. Clint Capela doesn’t get talked about enough as the third part of their “big three”. That’s because he’s super limited in what…
Read MoreDanuel House 14 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
I will always remember Danuel “House Party” House for two things. The first thing is that his name is spelled funny. “House” is spelled roughly how you would expect, but “Danuel”? I pronounce it Dan-Yoo-Ell in my head. If I was him I’d legally change it to “Daniel” just so people like me don’t pronounce…
Read MoreJustin Jackson 19 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
It was sort of a foregone conclusion going into this game that, in the battle of the players whose names are “J. Jackson”, the Suns’ Josh Jackson would come out on top. He just has that scorer’s mentality that is missing from the Kings’ Justin Jackson. To my surprise and delight, however, Justin Jackson actually…
Read MoreWill Barton 26 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
At points this season, Will Barton has been a convenient scapegoat whenever the Nuggets lost, which was more often than maybe they should have given their talent level. Never mind that Paul Millsap is the real scapegoat here (for ruining team chemistry) or that many other players had fixable defiencies that led to losses (Jokic…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 24 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
Lauri Markkanen scored his 24th point sometime in the third quarter of this game. A little bit later, he was pulled from the game, never to return. It’s not like he was injured or anything. He was just playing too well, was too hot shooting the ball, and had somehow given the Bulls the lead…
Read MoreJose Calderon 19 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
Jose Calderon is experiencing an unexpected career revival in Cleveland. After spending last season as a seldom-used third-stringer for the Lakers and Hawks, he’s seen a small uptick in minutes and a larger uptick in overall scoring efficiency. Just like Kobe and Dirk would go to Europe in the off-season to get special “European treatments”…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 31 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
Ricky Rubio flipped the digital page of his Kindle version of Don Quixote and found that his eyes were getting droopy. Despite his drowsiness, Ricky pressed on; he always strove to finish a chapter before setting the book down for the night. Readjusting his position atop a small mountain of assorted pillows and blankets, he…
Read MoreTobias Harris 31 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
The following is a list of players/coaches that Tobias Harris completely dominated/embarrassed last night: -Lafartus Fartridge -Manu GinOLDbili -Gregg Poopobitch -Kawhine Leonard (he knew that Tobes would own him so he didn’t even show up to the game) -Kyloser Anderslow -Fatty Mills -Pau Gasold With this win, the Clippers probably keep their playoff chances alive,…
