I knew Eric Gordon was struggling, but damn. No one informed me about the extent of his struggles. Get this: prior to tonight, 24 percent three-point shooting on 8 attempts per game. 32 percent from the field overall; he’s not shooting twos much better than threes. Everyone’s been blaming all sorts of stuff for the…

Nikola Mirotic 24 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)
The NBA seemed a lot more fun when Nikola Mirotic was one of its leading scorers. He’s still sorta up there, hovering around 35th in the league in points per game, but that’s wimpy compared to… was he first? After those first two games where he dropped 30 and 36? Man, I was having so…
Read MoreJamal Murray 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/24/2018)
A very Jokic-esque statline for Jamal Murray tonight: 22 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists. Except for the whole points part. Nowadays Jokic would never score that many, he’s too busy doing his thing to bother with the buckets part of the game. I’m still feeling residual hype from Murray’s 48-point game, but reserves are running…
Read MoreMarvin Bagley 20 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)
Man, how sweet would it have been for Marvin Bagley to tip in the game-winner at the buzzer for a win over the Larriors. That would’ve been the thing his defenders could point to when future people accused him of being a bust. “A bust? You sure about that? Because I have in my possession…

OFFICIAL PLAYERS WHOSE FIRST NAMES ARE PALINDROMES POWER RANKINGS 1. J.J. Redick 2. Otto Porter 3. J.J. Barea PAG REWOP 442. Kendavious Caldwell-Pope Whoops, sorry, didn’t realize that there really weren’t that many players whose names could be spelled the same way backward as forward. I thought there were gonna be, like, 20 names on…
Read MoreDario Saric 19 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)
We’re still waiting for that elusive 20-burger from Dario Saric this season. That used to be the threshold for highlights, but I felt like it was now or never. He’s been better for the Timberwolves than he was for the 76ers this year, but only by a little bit. I was never as hyped for…
Read MoreJabari Parker 27 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)
This is the kind of game where you wonder how in the heck Jabari Parker could be so bad at basketball while watching it. If he could do this every night, he’d be a star. Of course, you could say that about almost every player I make a video for. Like if DeAndre’ Bembry had…

Drink plenty of water. If you start feeling faint, close your browser window and lie down for 20 minutes before attempting to resume the video. Remember: no highlight video is…
