I really want DeAndre’ Bembry to exceed his career high of 13 points, but he just doesn’t seem capable of it. Three times this season (and once last season) he has scored that exact amount. However, in fairness to Bembry, his minutes are a bit down in the past few games for unknown reasons. If…

Jeremy Lamb 22 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2018)
Wow, I was getting all ready to say that the Hornets were maybe kinda good this year, and they go and lose to the Cavaliers? That sets them way back in my eyes. They could win their next 10 games and I’d be like “yeah that’s pretty cool, but remember when they lost to the…
Read MoreDavid Nwaba 18 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2018)
Big props going to David Nwaba right now for managing to stick in the league for three years despite being a short shooting guard who can’t shoot and can’t pass. Yeah, his athleticism makes up for some stuff, but still. His player type doesn’t usually even get the chance to play in the league on…
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 24 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2018)
Why does it feel like Jordan Clarkson isn’t having a good year even though he’s averaging more points than ever? Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m the one who expecting him to average 20 ppg in the absence of any competent scorers (besides K-Love but who really expected him to not be injured all the…
Read MoreJames Ennis 16 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2018)
Attention Houston fans/media people: if you are blaming James Ennis for any part of the Rockets’ struggles this season, please stop. If him not being as good as hoped is even a small problem, you’ve got way bigger problems to deal with. Sure, he’s not as good as who he replaced, but anyone who thought…
Read MoreMonte Morris 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/13/2018)
Here’s a fresh stat for all you sick, perverted statophiles out there who can’t get enough of hot, juicy NBA stats: Monte Morris has 7 turnovers against 56 assists this year. A perfect 8-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. That’s sick. I don’t know how it will be after tonight’s game, but before tonight’s two turnovers, he had…
Read MoreJeff Teague 24 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (11/12/2018)
Jeff Teague could hardly contain the poeticism bursting from within him. Hastily entering his apartment, he didn’t even bother to turn on the lights before walking briskly to his desk. Once there, he lit the two candles which rested upon the flat wood surface, granting him just enough illumination to begin the task at hand….
Read MoreOG Anunoby 17 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2018)
If Pascal Siakam is going to be the Kawhi replacement once Kawhi bolts for the Clippers, that precludes OG Anunoby from being the Kawhi replacement once Kawhi bolts for the Clippers. Unless the Raptors have two Kawhi replacements going forward. Then Anunoby and Siakam can take turns filling in the Kawhi role. Anunoby’s already got…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 21 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2018)
Have the days of T.J. “Warren Peace” Warren being marginalized finally come to an end? Teej has gotten 41, 36, and 40 minutes in the last three games. Those are not the minutes totals of a player who is being marginalized. Those are the minutes totals of a player who has finally earned the trust…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 21 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2018)
I was getting the feeling that this season’s version of Terrence Ross is the most aggressive he’s ever been, and it turns out that, as usual, my gut feeling was correct. The stats bear it out: Ross’ shot-taking rate is higher this season than it’s ever been by a considerable margin. I don’t know if…
