Khem Birch 12 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2018)

Khem “The Alkhemist” Birch worked his alkhemy to the tune of twelve points, and, um, not much else. He did get four rebounds and two assists. I don’t know if that counts as “alkhemy” or not. It probably doesn’t. Somebody as tall as he is should really be getting more than four rebounds in 27…

Frank Kaminsky 21 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2018)

Frank “The Clank” Kaminsky is rocking a headband which I have not noticed previously. White guys with headbands get me thinking…can you guess what it is that I’m thinking about? Hint: it’s not food and it’s not Jennifer. That’s right: I’m thinking about how rad Kaminsky would look if he had long hair constrained in…

Dorian Finney-Smith 15 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/6/2018)

Dorian “Distributed File System” Finney-Smith had fourteen points in the Mavericks’ previous game against the Magic, but, in my latest stroke of genius, I didn’t make a highlight video for him, citing two reasons: 1. He was 5-of-15 from the field, and I would rather not encourage inefficient shooting 2. I just had this feeling…

Reggie Jackson 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/6/2018)

It can be rightly debated whether or not Reggie Jackson is a “good” point guard or if he’s one of those guys that only puts up counting stats while not significantly raising his team’s ceiling, but what absolutely cannot be debated is the fact that Reggie Jackson is way better at being an NBA point…

Greg Monroe Triple Double 19 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (4/6/2018)

Thanks to the heroic efforts of two Celtics scrubs, Jabari Bird and Jonathan Gibson (basketball-reference, as of this writing, calls him “John Gibson”, but I’m pretty sure this is the same guy who played for the Mavs last season), Greg Monroe was able to secure the second triple-double of his career. Without Bird’s five makes…

Jordan Crawford 13 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2018)

I’m a little bit confused right now. When did the Pelicans sign Jordan Crawford? He was on the team at the beginning of the season and played two games for them before getting cut. Or was he just injured all this time and they never cut him at all? This is one of those times…

Shaquille Harrison 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/6/2018)

There is an opportunity here to make Shaq jokes. This opportunity is especially opportune because there was another Shaq that was on the Suns once upon a time. However, I will resist the urge to grab that low-hanging fruit. Shaquille Harrison deserves to be treated as his own person and is probably tired of being…

Josh Hart 20 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2018)

Josh “Hartstone” Hart just came back from some kind of injury that took him out for the month of March (I can’t keep track of all these injuries but I’m assuming it was something serious and not something made up like “big toe infarction”), and he’s back to getting the big minutes he was seeing…

Ivica Zubac 14 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2018)

Ivica “The Zuphiliac” Zubac has had a very small role this year with the Lakers, and I’m not sure if it’s going to get better for him next season. Only now, with the playoffs out of reach, is he seeing more court time, and next season the Lakers will (theoretically) be competing for a playoff…
