JaVale McGee 20 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2018)

Whenever I think about JaVale McGee, I think fondly back to his days as a Nugget, when he was the preferred lob target of one Andre Miller. McGee had 175 dunks in the 2012-13 season, and, just eyeballing the list, it seems like about half of them were courtesy of old man Miller, and the…

Pat Connaughton 16 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2018)

Blazers fans: was Pat Connaughton this good for your team? He had that one sick game to start the season last year, but I don’t know the deets of how he played on a nightly basis. I’m only asking because I’m happily surprised at how well he’s contributing this year. He’s kinda averaging power forward…

E’Twaun Moore 31 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2018)

E’Twaun Moore floater-ilation: Y/N? Arguments in favor of Y: -He has (according to Ian Eagle) the best floater in the NBA -Someone who is the best at something should be recognized with an -ilation -I like E’Twaun Moore -Would make up for the surprisingly lame Anthony Davis dunkilation Arguments in favor of N: -Difficulty nailing…

Shaquille Harrison 16 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2018)

There is very little you can do to convince me that Shaquille Harrison is not the third component of what was previously thought to be the Harrison “twins”. He’s a little shorter, and the authorities claim he’s a year older (IS LIE), but there’s no rule that says that twins/triplets have to be the same…

Tyler Johnson 24 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2018)

First order of business: mad respect to Tyler Johnson for shaving his face and not retaining the caveman beard from last year. It takes big cojones (not little chiquita ones) to admit that your facial hair sucked by getting rid of it. I myself was once cursed with a bad beard, but I am now…

T.J. Warren 27 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2018)

That’s four straight 20-burgers for T.J. Warren after his 0-point performance a little over a week ago. It’s going to take a while to undo the damage that was done to his scoring averages, but I believe that this can be the year he averages 20 for real. He was so close last year, but…

Greg Monroe 17 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2018)

Greg Monroe still thinks he is better than Andre Drummond. I think he thought while they were playing together, the way he played against the Pistons while with the Bucks made me think he still did, and now he’s dominated him again. Maybe he didn’t directly score all 17 of his points against Drummond tonight,…

Nikola Vucevic 30 Points Full HIghlights (11/14/2018)

I have only the vaguest memories of Nikola Vucevic’s short tenure in Philadelphia. So vague that I’m not entirely sure I didn’t just make them up, or that they were artificially implanted in my mind by aliens. That was the year before I started making highlights, and I wasn’t as all-around in my NBA fandom…

Collin Sexton 24 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2018)

I am convinced that hostile actors (rival highlight-makers perhaps?) are screwing with my internet connectivity, attempting to prevent me from making highlights. Everything is flaky right now. My normal system of running all my traffic through 7 separate VPNs, plus a free proxy I found on the internet for added security, usually works. It works,…

Quinn Cook 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/13/2018)

Quinn Cook watched the unfolding locker room argument with only mild interest. “Do you think we should separate them?” he asked a nearby Jonas Jerebko. “Nah,” was Jonas’ short reply. Quinn nodded in agreement. Arguments in NBA locker rooms were common, especially between players known for their on-court intensity. However, when the argument started to…
