I think it’s time for a reboot of my as-yet-unproduced TV show, “Jared Dudley’s Cornrows A-No-No”. The idea of the show is that Jared Dudley, who once had really bad cornrows but managed to get rid of them because of his deep inner strength, stages interventions with NBA players who have really bad cornrows. He…

Jonathan Isaac 18 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
Orlando Magic fans are really hyping this dude, this “Jonathan Isaac”. Like, way above what I would consider normal hyping. He’s barely shown anything in the NBA, but all summer they were patrolling the internet, telling people about his per 36 stats and all-around potential. Nonstop. I get that they have very little to be…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 22 Points Full Highlights (10/21/2018)
Jusuf Nurkic is shooting threes now. You were probably already aware of that fact, but in case you’re still stuck in five years ago where not every big in the NBA shoots the long ball, I thought I’d make it clear. He was shooting them in preseason, and that’s carried over into about 1 attempt…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 20 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
Now THIS is highlights. Just 8 straight Bojan Bogdanovic buckets in a row, no replays, no free throws, no assists, no defense (I so wanted to put the clip of him getting absolutely crossed by Derrick Rose), just buckets. 8 of them, laid end to end chronologically for maximum viewing pleasure. This is the kind…
Read MoreJabari Parker 20 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
I get sad when everyone decides to hate on Jabari Parker. Not saying it’s not deserved, but I still have a soft spot in my blackened heart for Jabarles Parkley. It’s not his fault that he doesn’t appear to have the acumen needed to play NBA-level defense. It’s not his fault that the league is…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 18 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
Big props to Mario Hezonja tonight for not only scoring 18 points (which is a good amount for him), but for accepting the task of guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo and not getting as obliterated as one would think he would. He couldn’t really stop him, because no one really can, but he did what he could…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
Luka Doncic did a good job of diming DeAndre Jordan tonight. No one really cares if someone can make simple passes around the perimeter for jumpshooters. They care if you can find your bigman for easy buckets right at the rim. Those are the valuable assists, the ones that really count. If Doncic can keep…
