Ben McLemore is one of those “scoring-only” shooting guards who doesn’t get rebounds or assists or even play defense. So it’s a big problem when he’s not scoring. When he’s not scoring, he gives you nothing other than a warm body to run around and act like it’s playing basketball. That’s why it always warms…

Cameron Payne 15 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/9/2018)
Cameron Payne has scored 17 points twice this season and neither time did I make a highlight video for the occurrence. The second time he did it, I was on vacation and only made a few catch-up videos after I got back (Payne would not have qualified for a catch-up video unless he had a…
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/9/2018)
I don’t know exactly how win-shares get calculated or even what they are. I reference them all the time but I am ignorant of their true nature. And here I will reference them once again: unless De’Aaron Fox puts up a 50/20/20 game in the season closer, he will end the season with negative win-shares….
Read MoreManu Ginobili 17 Points/5 Assists/1 Dunk Full Highlights (4/9/2018)
There was a part of me that was like “it would be cool for the Spurs to miss the playoffs so that all the Popovich nuthuggers would stop hugging his nuts” but then there was an opposing part of me that was like “if Manu Ginobili missed the playoffs he would probably retire and it…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 24 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2018)
Nikola Mirotic has played very well since chopping off the furry brown mass that was engulfing his chin. This 24-point game is actually his lowest point total since adopting the “Paul Zipser” look. But I have a feeling that he’s got another surprise in store for us for the playoffs. No, I’m not talking about…
Read MoreSindarius Thornwell 20 Points/7 Assists Full HIghlights (4/9/2018)
Sindarius Thornwell: competent backup shooting guard yeah or nah? He definitely passes the “look at his shooting percentage” test by having shooting percentages (43% from the field, 34% from three) that are perfectly acceptable for a rookie. He also passes the “does he have positive winshares” test by having positive winshares. In fact, he passes…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 12 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2018)
Sometimes I get these intrusive thoughts. They’re about all manner of things, really. Violent things. Morbid things. Perverted things. These thoughts just pop into my mind without warning and I can’t stop them. Maybe making all these highlight videos has made me go insane and this is the first manifestation of my insanity; unwelcome thoughts…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 21 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (4/9/2018)
Just saying, I looked up pics of Iggy Azalea and she is really weird looking. Who cares if she’s got big peaches if her face is all wonky? I think D’Angelo Russell was just trying to save Nick Young from marrying a chick who would only produce deformed babies. He was being a good teammate….
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 20 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2018)
Mason Plumlee couldn’t contain Jusuf Nurkic. Nikola Jokic couldn’t contain Jusuf Nurkic. Jusuf Nurkic could barely contain Jusuf Nurkic. Jusuf Nurkic was, at points in this game, a completely unstoppable out-of-control force of rebound and flailing post move. I hate to compare them again, but Jokic plays the game in a very measured way. He’s…
Read MoreFrank Ntilikina 17 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2018)
Frank Ntilikina looks a lot like some other NBA player that I can’t put my finger on. It freaks me out every time I look at him, how much he resembles this unknown baller. I wish I could figure this out, it’s driving me nuts, plus it made appreciating this career-high performance by The French…
