Jaylen Brown 23 Points Full Highlights (5/13/2018)

I might as well change my channel name to LostInBoston because it’s gonna be pretty much nothing but Celtics highlights from here on out. They’re the only remaining team whose role-players are actually a threat to sometimes score 20 points. Maybe also a few bozos on the Rockets, but in Boston, they’ve got all their…

Jaylen Brown 24 Points Full Highlights (5/9/2018)

Jaylen Brown didn’t dump on the 76ers nearly as hard as he did the Bucks (I still remember those thirty-point games, in fact, they’re all I see when I close my eyes to go to sleep at night), but he got the job done in this one after only attempting six shots in the previous…

Jayson Tatum 25 Points Full Highlights (5/9/2018)

I’m still trying to figure out how a team composed of: -Jayson Tatum (rookie) -Jaylen Brown (young) -Al Horford (old) -Terry Rozier (not even good at all really until the second half of this season) -Aron Baynes (Austria) has earned the privilege of playing the Cleveland LeBrons in the ECF conference finals. I think most…

Dario Saric 27 Points Full Highlights (5/9/2018)

The Celtics were supposed to be the easy matchup of this year’s playoffs, the banged-up team that everyone wanted to face for free wins. That was the narrative that I bought into as a Bucks fan, and see where it got me. The 76ers fell into the same trap, and now they get to watch…

Royce O’Neale 17 Points Full Highlights (5/8/2018)

It’s cool when teams just pick rando dudes off the top of the scrap heap of undrafted/Europe-bound players and they turn out to be valuable role-players right out of the gate. In case you missed it, Royce “John Salmons 2.0 with defense” O’Neale is one of those guys, and he just led the Jazz in…

Jrue Holiday Triple Double 27 Pts/11 Asts/10 Rebs Full Highlights (5/8/2018)

I was actually getting significantly hyped when the Pelicans went on an 18-2 run in the waning minutes of the game to cut the Warriors’ lead to seven. Even reliving it while making this highlight video caused by BHL (Blood Hype Level) to elevate. I would have loved nothing more than to see an arena…

P.J. Tucker 19 Points Full Highlights (5/8/2018)

P.J. Tucker scored 20 points in his debut with the Rockets, way back in the arcane era of time known as “October”. My video commemorating the performance has since been deleted, but my claim made in the description that even Ivan Chiriaev could score 10 points per game in Mike D’Antoni’s offensive system remains true….

Donovan Mitchell 24 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (5/8/2018)

And so, the Utah Jazz season comes to an end. It was fun, everybody. I would be more emotional, but I keep thinking about how if the Jazz had kept Nate Wolters things would’ve been different, and that thought makes me upset. Things also would’ve been different if Donovan Mitchell had distributed his scoring more…

Alec Burks 22 Points Full Highlights (5/8/2018)

Alec Burks, with these gutsy 22 points in a valiant, if losing, effort, has given the Jazz FO a whole offseason to think about how vital he is to the franchise. If they were thinking about trading him, maybe they’ll keep thinking about it but try and get more for him. If they weren’t thinking…

T.J. McConnell Career High 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (5/7/2018)

If you’re sitting there feeling all happy and contented after watching T.J. McConnell get a new career high with nineteen points, you pretty much have me and me only to thank for it. I will now provide, in its entirety, the letter which I penned and sent to Sixers coach Brett Brown after their game…
