Ever since I got my microwave back in good working order (thanks to a special Buddy I have), I’ve been making sure to really appreciate all the Pop-Tarts I eat. There was a scary period of a few days where I didn’t have Pop-Tarts at all, and I hadn’t realized how important they were in…

Markelle Fultz Triple Double 13 Pts/10 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
I held off on making Markelle Fultz highlights until he had a legitimately good game. That meant he had to score more than ten points. I did this because I have standards. Some might scoff at the concept, because I will gladly make a highlight video for some no-name scrub scoring twelve points, but believe…
Read MoreJosh Hart Career High 30 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Josh Hart opened his eyes to find himself in a place he didn’t recognize. He was lying on his back, and above him rose marble columns which didn’t seem to support a roof of any kind; if there was a roof up there, it was obscured by slowly undulating clouds of the purest white. He…
Read MoreCedi Osman Career High 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Cedi Osman scored a career-high eighteen points on a career-high eighteen field goal attempts in a career-high 39 minutes of playing time. Having the same amount of points as attempts is never a good sign, but it’s the last game of the regular season, and Osman just wanted a taste of what it’s like to…
Read MoreFrank Ntilikina 16 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
So, Frank Ntilikina finished the season shooting below 40%. Well below 40%. 36.4%, if we want to be precise about it. It’s basically an international standard at this point that 40% is the official cut-off line for an acceptable field goal percentage. Anything below that and you’re probably a marginal player at best, and you’d…
Read MoreLuke Kornet Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Luke Kornet walked into the visitors’ locker room and saw that there was something else, other than his jersey, waiting for him in his locker. Stepping closer, he saw that it was a small, resealable pouch of whey protein powder. He picked it up to investigate it closer, maybe return it to whatever trainer had…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 35 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Nikola Jokic walked into the now-barren Nuggets locker room. He had been putting off this moment for days, like if he didn’t clean out his locker, the season could still be going on… the act of cleaning out his locker had a certain finality about it. There was no turning back after that, no returning,…
Read MoreAron Baynes Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Let us take this moment, while basking in the radiant green glow of Aron Baynes’ career-high 26 points, to remember one of the greatest lines of the season, brought to us by Tommy Heinsohn a week in: “I tell yah, I took a look at Baynes… in the showah… he looks like all of Australiah!…
Read MoreJonathan Gibson 18 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Jonathan Gibson only averaged 34 points per game in China this past season. When I think “American shooting guard chucker playing in China”, I think 50 points per game. Russ Smith really messed up my expectations, I think. But it’s not even that unreasonable for Gibson, because he averaged 42 the season prior. Every 50…
Read MoreGuerschon Yabusele 16 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Okay, I admit, I didn’t have a very clear picture of how Guerschon Yabusele looked before tonight. I knew he was black. That was about it. That issue has been rectified, happily. Has he always been this… thick? That is one thick dude. The French Jared Sullinger for sure. I didn’t know what he played…
