Jabari Parker 23 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
If you read any of my video descriptions ever, you know that I am singularly obsessed with just one stat: win-shares. Specifically, win-shares per 48. I don’t know why I have this obsession, but I do, and I can use this stat to write what appear to be insightful insights without actually knowing anything about…
Read MoreJosh Richardson 27 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
Josh Richardson, with his 20.5 PPG average, now occupies the position that Khris Middleton used to occupy on my channel: the “too many PPGs for DownToBuck but not enough of a star to consistently get videos from the bigger highlights channels” position. His rapid ascendancy has caught most people by surprise (I’m sure Heat fans…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
Attention Grizzlies: you are not supposed to be a good team. Please cease winning games immediately. Grit N’ Grind is over, Zach Randolph is a lump-shaped DNP-magnet over in Sacramento, and you were way more fun to watch when Xavier Rathan-Mayes was running the show. I got attached to some of the scrubs they were…
Read MoreCedi Osman 20 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
How come no one ever told me Cedi Osman was born in Macedonia? Here I am thinking that Pero Antic (the most convincing of all Carlos Boozer impersonators) would forever be that country’s lone NBA representative, and Osman has been sitting under my nose this whole time? Man, I just assumed he was born in…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 21 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
Bojan Bogdanovic had a nice game tonight. That goes without saying, because these highlights are here in front of your eyeballs (or eyeball, you filthy pirate), and I don’t make highlights unless a player had at least a superficially nice game. But it was nice for Bogdanovic. 10 made field goals, and he did it…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 22 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
I’m having flashbacks to a game last year where the Damian Lillard/Jusuf Nurkic pick-and-roll was as unstoppable as it was tonight. Was that game also against the Warriors? Are the Warriors especially susceptible to pick-and-rolls? It’s all so hazy. I can remember clearly the games where Nurkic was used as a Jokic-esque elbow passer (no,…
Read MoreJeremy Lin 19 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
Uh oh. The “start Jeremy Lin instead of Trae Young” talks have, officially, begun. The Hawks commentators were carefully, without trying to offend anybody, talking about it, and that’s official enough for me. Everyone knows that commentators are mouthpieces for the organization. If they’re talking about it, that means that someone high up told them…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 25 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
Let’s say Derrick Rose continues averaging 19 for the whole season. That could easily happen, for sure. How many seasons of that would he need in a row before he had a good chance of entering the Hall Of Fame upon retirement? Leave your answer in the comments. Your answer must be an integer that…
Read MoreCollin Sexton 23 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
It is common knowledge that Cleveland Cavaliers veterans said that Collin Sexton doesn’t know how to play the game. I rebut their assertion by saying that Collin Sexton DOES know how to play the game, as long as “how to play the game” is “shoot midrange jumpers”. Which it is. Everyone knows that, because that’s…
