The last time I made a Quincy Pondexter highlight video was on April 18, 2015. Pondexter was playing for the Pelicans during the first-round sweep at the hands of the Warriors. For some reason, he played 36 minutes in the first game, scoring twenty points. Then, poof. He was gone. For two years, Pondexter was…

Jabari Parker 24 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
Jabari Parker seems like he might be playing a bit better lately, but he still doesn’t quite pass the “eye test”; he often has sloppy turnovers and he often takes bad shots that he shouldn’t be taking (see: popping for a twenty-foot jumper with the defender in his face). It’s funny to note that the…
Read MoreMalcolm Brogdon 24 Points/6 Assists/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
Malcolm Brogdon’s (AKA Brogdog, The Cybrog, Junkyard Brog, Imbroglio, and many other nicknames) six-of-six three-point shooting in this game is the most three-point makes without a miss by any player this season. Isaiah Canaan (RIP), Dante Cunningham, and Lou Williams have all made five without a miss, but five is a lame number. Anybody could…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 22 Points Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
On the team bus that was driving the team back to their hotel, Austin Rivers couldn’t help but notice that something interesting was up on Kelly Oubre’s laptop screen. “What’s that?” he asked. Kelly didn’t look up from his intense, focused work. “CAD software.” “CAD?” Kelly rolled his eyes. “Computer-Aided Design. Duh.” “Looks complicated,” Austin…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 18 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
The commentators asked a good question during this video: how much sauce is too much? This question can refer to a lot of things, so I will do my best to address some common sauce situations. -Buffalo wings. There’s too much sauce if the sauce is dripping off the wing. My philosophy is, at a…
Read MoreJerami Grant 21 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
The trade of Ersan Ilyasova for Jerami Grant is finally paying dividends. It looked really stupid for a while there, and I bet the Thunder could use a nice stretch four right about now whose name isn’t Patrick Patterson, but Grant is looking really good this year while Ilyasova is looking a little old. Sorry…
Read MoreElie Okobo 19 Points Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
Did the Suns commentators just totally put Igor Kokoskov on blast at 0:42 of this video? It was said like a joke, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a home commentary person just straight up criticize a coach like that. Not by name, at least. Usually it’s like “I know it’s tough but you…
Read MoreDanuel House 18 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
Rockets fans: please don’t expect anything from Danuel “Mini Capela” House. Just don’t. I know you guys really need something to cling on to, some shred of hope that isn’t injured, but House isn’t that hope. He looked good-ish last year for the Suns, but that was because the Suns weren’t even trying to win…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 17 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
I had hopes that a change of scenery would further elevate Mario Hezonja out of “almost bust” status and into “decent role-player” territory. It’s easy to forget now, but he was actually sort of good at times for the Magic last year. Almost kinda consistently, too. I was making fun of the Magic for not…
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 14 Points Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
San Antonio is, in the eyes of the public, the best place for Euro role-players to go if they want to jumpstart their career. So, if any of them even noticed that Jakob Poeltl went southward (way southward), they probably thought “Oh, Pop will turn him into a double-double machine, not like I have any…
