Jarrett Jack spent the entire second quarter of this game dominating the Bucks. He ended with eleven points, three rebounds, and five assists in just that quarter, which doesn’t sound like a whole lot until you extrapolate it out. I crunched the numbers using math, and Jack would have dropped a 44/12/20 line if he…

Dejounte Murray 17 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
I’m not totally convinced that Dejounte Murray will be able to fill the Tony Parker role for the Spurs going forward. However, since Tony Parker is not able to fill the Tony Parker role either, and the Spurs obviously need that role to be filled, it’s fallen on Murray to be the new Tony Parker….
Read MoreP.J. Tucker 16 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
I was operating under the assumption that P.J. Tucker had upped his scoring output recently, given that he just scored sixteen points last night, and I have a memory of making an eighteen-point highlight video for him within the past week or so. For Tucker, point totals in the double digits are a rare occasion…
Read MoreEvan Turner 18 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
While the 76ers are finally doing good with their young core, let us not forget that Evan Turner was supposed to be part of that core. I’m stretching things a little bit, because he was drafted in 2010, and the intervening years would’ve been a long time to keep him around, but they didn’t draft…
Read MoreTyrone Wallace 18 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
Poor Ralph Lawler. He sounded like he wanted to curl up into a ball and cry as the Clippers got eliminated from playoff contention. He had to deal with a lot of bad Clippers basketball, and then they got really good all of a sudden, and he was so happy, his “bingo!”s full of life…
Read MoreSean Kilpatrick 20 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
This is the fourth revenge game of the season for Sean Kilpatrick against the Nets. He had two with the Bucks (0 points in a 25-point win and 5 points in a 15-point win), one with the Clippers (2 points in a 3-point win), and now one with the Bulls (20 points in a 28-point…
Read MoreManu Ginobili 17 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
I would say that this was a “vintage” Manu Ginobili performance, but I don’t remember him ever having a reputation for simply burying teams under a barrage of buckets, so what he did tonight against the Blazers wouldn’t count as such. Certainly, he did sometimes do that, but that wasn’t his game, usually. This would…
Read MoreWill Barton 31 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
There’s just something missing for me when it comes to Will Barton. I don’t think I could get hyped for him even if he scored 50, even though he’s just about as good as Khris Middleton and I love that dude. It’s always an issue when I don’t appreciate a role-player as much as they…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 28 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
Clean-shaven Nikola Mirotic is for real. He is all business now, no messing around. He wants no distractions heading into the playoffs, and “itchy cumbersome crumb-receptacle tangled mass pube beard” definitely qualifies as a big distraction. Now that he’s shaved, can he maybe go to Miami and talk to Kelly Olynyk and Tyler Johnson? Those…
Read MoreQuinn Cook 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
Adam Silver must be freaking out right now. How much money has the league lost because of Stephen Curry’s injury? It’s got to be a huge number. A few people are probably buying Quinn Cook gear instead but not enough to make up for the lost jersey sales. And no one’s gonna watch the playoffs…
