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!…

Jonathan 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…
Read MoreR.J. Hunter Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
R.J. Hunter is a real-life representation of the age-old question “what good is a pure shooter who can’t really shoot?”. The answer, as represented by Hunter throughout his three-year NBA career, is “not much good at all”. Even for most of his career in the D-League/G-League, he was a bad shooter. That’s, uh, not good….
Read MoreGary Payton II Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
The Lakers fans who were posting mocking comments directed at the Bucks like “thanks for Gary Payton” and “wow why would they cut him he’s so good” after Gary Payton II’s first game with the Lakers fell silent pretty quickly. That Lakers debut, 4 points/4 assists/2 blocks was good, but the success was short lived,…
Read MoreJohn Holland 21 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
John Holland is already 29 years old. Everyone was freaking out about Andre Ingram getting called up to the Lakers at the age of 32, but what about this guy? He’s been playing with the Cavaliers on-and-off all season, he probably struggled just as much trying to get to the NBA, now he’s here, and…
Read MoreAnte Zizic 20 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Unlike a lot of scrubs who will be featured on my channel tonight, Ante Zizic’s season did not end tonight. He gets to go the playoffs! He didn’t have much to do with that fact, but he gets to go there anyway. I don’t really see him getting playing time once he gets there, though….
Read MoreDillon Brooks Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Man, the season just flies by, doesn’t it? It seems like just yesterday that I looked at the first night’s batch of boxscores, saw that someone named Dillon Brooks scored 17, and spit half-chewed Pop-Tart sludge all over my keyboard. Dillon Brooks! Seventeen! I didn’t even know who he was, but I knew we were…
Read MoreJalen Jones 15 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2018)
Since Jalen Jones had the honor of scoring the final points of the Mavericks’ season, I decided to go back and check who scored the final points of other recent Mavs’ seasons (going just by regular season because that’s way more fun): 2016-17: Jarrod Uthoff made a free throw. Where did he go anyway? 2015-16:…
Read MoreDanuel House 16 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (4/10/2018)
The Mavericks’ scrub unit might have totally buried the Suns’ scrub unit, but the good news is, the Suns’ tandem of Shaquille Harrison and Danuel House had a combined total of seven sick dunks between them. These weren’t lame-o dunks either. These were NEAT-O dunks. One could even say that House held his own…”House Party”,…
