Caris LeVert just can’t stop notching career-highs. In the first game of the season, he tied a career-high with 27 points. Not content to merely tie a career-high, he then came out in this game and set a new career-high with 28, the final two points coming on a game-winning shot with a second left…

Miles Bridges 15 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
I know that the concept of “open letters” is sort of played out. Really, an open letter is just an opinion piece but it’s directed at somebody. It’s like a more official version of a Twitter beef. That said, I’m going to write an open letter right now in this very description. This open letter…
Read MoreCollin Sexton 14 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
This was definitely a good highlight video to make for me because it’s short and I’m really super tired. The excitement of the Bucks winning a game (and maybe the Brewers too) has got me all bleary-eyed and droopy. If you, too, are bleary-eyed and droopy, maybe this will be the perfect final video before…
Read MoreMarvin Bagley 19 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
I spent some time this summer working on nicknames for all the rookies who I thought were going to be good enough to earn nicknames. That included Marvin Bagley. I should’ve written them down instead of just thinking about them because I’m pretty sure I came up with a really sweet one for Bagley and…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 13 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
I don’t know what my points threshold should be for Boban Marjanovic, and maybe this is too low, but screw it. My efforts to make a highlight video for every game that Boban Marjanovic appears in will continue with this 13-point domination of the Thunder. “Domination” sounds like too strong of a word for a…
Read MoreTrae Young 20 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
Trae Young’s chemistry with Miles Plumlee is looking good already. For all of Plumlee’s supposed “faults”, the one thing he can do is jam lobs. They don’t even have to be good passes. Just through them up there and he’ll jam them. If Young wants free assists basically any time he wants, that’s something he…
Read MoreKevin Knox 17 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
Coach Fizdale was really reaming out Kevin “School of Hard” Knox there after that last three. I have no idea what constitutes “good basketball” and my only judge of success is if a shot went in, so everything looked fine to me, but Knox must have really messed something up for his coach to be…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 29 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
The age of Enes Kanter shooting jumpers is over. There were multiple possessions early on in this game where Jarrett Allen was dropping way back on him as he stood at the elbow, and he didn’t even look to shoot. This lends credence to my theory that Russell Westbrook demands that his teammates shoot it…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 24 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
All the predraft sites (RIP DraftExpress) said the same thing about Jaren Jackson: he good, but man that shot form is wonked out to heck and back. They didn’t use quite those words, of course, but that was the gist of it. And he bore that out in his first Summer League game: tons of…
Read MoreGarrett Temple 30 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
Sorry, losers. There’s all sorts of rookies and such that had excellent performances tonight, but right now what you get is highlights of Garrett Temple scoring 30. Why? Because screw you, that’s why. I do what I want. And what I want is to showcase one of the most underrated role-players in the league. The…
