Welcome back Patrick “Tupat” Patterson! Last time I made a vid for him was during the 2015(!) playoffs, where he scored 15. For regular-season Tupat action you have to go back to frickin’ 2014. Those dates give you an idea of how long he’s been a poor offensive player. He was good, or at least…

Georges Niang 13 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2018)
I’m very impressed with Georges Niang’s ability to stay in the league. Normally dudes who barely play in their first year don’t get to come back. And normally dudes who barely played in their first year but then somehow came back only to barely play in their second year REALLY don’t get to come back….
Read MoreNerlens Noel 20 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (10/28/2018)
It’s been so long since I’ve been able to make a highlight video of Nerlens Noel that I don’t think I’ve even gotten the chance to talk about his decision to bet on himself and pass up a huge contract in hopes of getting an even huger one after a successful season. Spoiler alert: his…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (10/28/2018)
It’s early, but there are surreptitious murmurings of Caris LeVert having already been selected as this year’s Most Improved Player. If so, congrats to him. He really earned it with his efficient 21 points per game. I also heard that the Bucks were crowned the champions. So, uh, no reason to keep going with the…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 13 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2018)
I was looking at the available players for the Wizards during this game, and I was wondering who was going to be able to handle Boban Marjanovic once he got in the game. Ian Mahinmi is barely an NBA player at this point, so not him. Not Thomas Bryant either, because he’s barely played in…
Read MoreDennis Smith Jr. Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2018)
Sacrifices were made to make this the purest representation possible of Dennis Smith Jr.’s career -high 27 points on 12 made shots. There were no free-throws to ruin it in the first place, so I decided to go all out: this vid is nothing but 12 sequentially ordered buckets, no replays, no assists, no defense…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (10/28/2018)
I’m starting to think that this 15 points/5 assists version of D’Angelo Russell is the last version we’re going to get. He’s been practically the same player since his second year in the league, the same kind-of-okay starting PG whose most lasting accomplishment is saying “he ain’t even stretch doe”. I guess he makes some…
Read MoreElie Okobo 18 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (10/28/2018)
Before we get into how great it is that Elie Okobo (a second-round Euro rookie) put up 18 and 7 this early in his career, I want to apologize for two things. Thing numero uno: the Suns commentators are still apparently doing that “proud to own the three point zone” thing that Fulton Homes (who…
