How is Danilo Gallinari only 30? He’s been in the league for the whole time I’ve been paying attention, normally guys like that are retiring or fading out already. Not him. He’s (almost) better than ever. I supposed I was fooled by how unathletic (attention Firefox developers: “unathletic” is absolutely a word so don’t red…

Deandre Ayton 21 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
I’m of the opinion that a first-overall rookie averaging a double-double with efficient shooting should be getting a lot of hype, no matter how bad his team is doing. I know you can’t make people care about players they don’t care about, but WHY don’t they care about Deandre Ayton? I know it’s not because…
Read MoreSteven Adams 26 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
Steven Adams has never struck me as a guy you give the ball to and say “hey, go get us a bucket”. That’s not his game. His game is receiving lobs from Russell Westbrook. Well, I’m not seeing Westbrook around anymore, so I guess that means Adams’ true scoring potential has been unleashed? Maybe I…
Read MoreJuan Hernangomez 20 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
Look, I’m sorry I compared Juan Hernangomez (and all the rest of the Nuggets besides Nikola Jokic) to Emmanuel Mudiay. I was heated, I got testy, and my fingers typed some stuff that I didn’t really men. For the record, I think Hernangomez is WAY better than Mudiay. For real. They’re not really comparable players,…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 25 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
We need to do something about Nikola Jokic’s seeming indifference to scoring during stretches of gametime. And when I say “we”, I really mean “The Nuggets coaching staff” because there’s nothing I, nor any of you watching this video, can do to get it into his head that he needs to be looking to score…
Read MoreJarrett Allen Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
The three-point shooting version of himself that Jarrett Allen teased us with in the season opener has not made another appearance. He made two triples that game, leading me to believe that he Kenny Atkinson was doing to him what he did with Brook Lopez. Since that game? You guessed it, zero threes. He’s barely…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 24 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
I was previously a critic of how ragged-looking Luka Doncic was earlier in the season, and I don’t think that was unfair. He looked like he just woke up in the grittiest Ljubljana alleyway with his pockets pilfered and a nasty hangover. But now I think he’s gone a bit too far in the other…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 36 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
One thing I have learned over the years, is that you can’t make people care about players they don’t want to care about. You just can’t do it. People with way more clout in the NBA sphere than I have can’t do it. No one can. There is simply nothing anyone can do to drive…
Read MoreGerald Green 17 Points/5 Threes/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
Below is my recommendation for how you should watch this video. I know that you’re your own man (or woman) and that you can make your own decisions regarding your own highlight video consumption, but you should be advised that I am a highlights expert and I probably know best. To derive maximum enjoyment from…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 23 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
Five straight 20+ point games for T.J. Warren now, and he’s played huge minutes in all of them. Heck yes! Even Igor Kokosostupid couldn’t hold him down anymore. The Suns still aren’t winning any games, but wins are secondary to individual statistical accomplishments at this point. Although, weren’t there rumors that the Suns wanted to…
