Clint Capela: is he the Rockets’ SECRET WEAPON for the playoffs? Reasons Capela might be the SECRET WEAPON: -He was keeping his Eurostep ability hidden from public view until the playoffs -He is secretly the Rockets’ third-best player -Can KAT stop him? Probably not. -D’Antoni purposely didn’t play him in the final regular season game…

Donovan Mitchell 27 Points Full Highlights (4/15/2018)
I don’t blame Donovan Mitchell for coming out of the game after stubbing his toe. It really hurts! You’re just walking around, everything’s cool, and then you run your toe into a corner at a million miles per hour. Agony. Pure agony. I once called 9-1-1 because I was pretty sure that I was going…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 23 Points Full Highlights (4/15/2018)
I’m going to be honest, when Terry Rozier hit that three with half a second left to put the Celtics up by three, I said some un-DownToBuck-like things. You notice how I never swear in these descriptions, because this is a family friendly channel? When he got done totally demolishing Eric Bledsoe along with most…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 31 Points/6 Assists/1 Buzzer-Beater Full Highlights (4/15/2018)
YES! Now everyone out there watching playoff basketball who maybe for some reason didn’t know how much of a BEAST Khris Middleton is can see for themselves that he is basically unstoppable. He averaged 20 a game this season, but no one cared, but now people will be COMPELLED to care against their will! Khash…
Read MoreMarkieff Morris 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/14/2018)
Markieff Morris had a pretty good statline in this one: 22 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists. He wasn’t that far away from a triple-double. That’s cool. This is the Markieff that Wizards fans shows up every game, the kind that shoots efficiently from the field and only beats up bystanders when the situation calls for…
Read MoreDario Saric 20 Points Full Highlights (4/14/2018)
Philly fans are probably tired of people pointing this out, but I haven’t personally pointed it out yet so I’m in the clear: the 76ers shot 18 of 28 from the threezone in this game. That’s part of the reason that they dropped 74 points in the second half. Shooting a high percentage from three…
Read MoreJ.J. Redick 28 Points Full Highlights (4/14/2018)
J.J. Redick, with this game, basically wrote a letter to all thirty GM’s in the league. Here are the contents of that letter: “Hey NBA GM’s, This offseason, you’d better pay me a huge amount of money because I’m out here winning games for my team in the playoffs. Also the contract has to be…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 25 Points Full Highlights (4/14/2018)
More ridiculous shots for Marco Belinelli. There’s some players who making a living off of never ever shooting a standstill catch-and-shoot jumper, and he’s definitely one of them. In Atlanta he was regarded (by me, I don’t think anyone else noticed his existence) a chucky chuckmaster who needed to chill out; now he’s a key…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 26 Points Full Highlights (4/14/2018)
Look, I’m fully aware that Win Shares are a flawed advanced stat, don’t take everything into account, suck, yada yada yada. But here’s the deal: Kelly Olynyk led the Heat in them this year. Okay? That means something. That has to mean something. And what I think it has to mean is that he is…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 15 Points Full Highlights (4/14/2018)
Is it a stretch to say that JaVale McGee won this game for the Warriors? It is, but it’s not the biggest stretch ever. He did a ton of damage in the first few minutes of the game, and the deleterious effects of such a marginal role-player playing that well on the Spurs’ players are…
