It was sweet when Ryan “ArchGOAT” Arcidiacono, who is the American Steve Nash, scored 22 last game. It was not sweet when he did so against the Bucks. I like it when role-players exceed their role and do great things, as long as they do it against teams that are not from the state of…

Luka Doncic 20 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
Luka Doncic’s dunk tonight will really spice up my end-of-season Luka Doncic Dunkilation which, up until tonight, was looking really, really lame. He’s an NBA player and kind of tall, so he can dunk, but that’s all you can say about him in that area. That he can do it. There was some power behind…
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 25 Points Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
Midseason trades are the best. Not even midseason, actually. Mid-start-of-season-and-Christmas trades are the best. When those happen, you know teams were just really regretting not trading the player during the offseason and couldn’t wait all the way until the trade deadline. Kyle Korver is gone now, which at first seems to bode well for Jordan…
Read MoreMarc Gasol 27 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
The giant, bearded man sat on the slimy stone floor of his dungeon cell, back resting uncomfortably on a cell wall composed of uneven, rough-cut stone blocks. There was no light apart from the faint dimness that filtered in through the small, barred window in the cell’s door. It was just enough to see by,…
Read MoreDamyean Dotson 17 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Please tell me I’m not the only one who, despite knowing better, sounds out the name “Damyean” as “Dam Yeen”. I can’t help it. Teachers in school always told me to sound words out phonetically if they’re unfamiliar to me, so that’s what I’ve done, and now I can’t stop even though I know that…
Read MoreMalik Beasley Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Shown in the thumbnail: the disdain that Malik Beasley has for all the bandwagon Laker fans infesting every away arena in the country. Not shown in the thumbnail: Michael Beasley getting his bench-sore heinie totally kicked by the superior Beasley. I really want to use this description space as my own personal soapbox to denounce…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Not to sound needy or ungrateful, but can we get some of the old three-point shooting Domantas Sabonis mixed back in with this new version? He was only that way because Wesbrook made him stand in the corner and be marginalized, but it was valuable experience that he is now failing to use. He’s 4…
Read MoreTrae Young 17 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
It’s not a good thing when 4 games out of 20 account for two-thirds (20 out of 30) of your made three-pointers. We’re talking about Trae Young, of course, and I just can’t wait to diss him over and over again for being a chucky brickmaster these last few games. I actually like this dude….
Read MoreStanley Johnson 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
What’s the deal with the severe lack of Johnsons in the NBA right now? It’s basically the most second common surname in America (the first is Muhammad, read a book for once), and it has a storied history of premiere NBA players bearing it. Kevin Johnson (well, he used to be respected), Marques Johnson (gonna…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 18 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
Fred “Vleet of Voot” VanVleet was weirdly amazing last year for the Raptors. He had sick advanced stats despite just okay regular stats, and every bench unit he was on crushed the competition. I don’t want to say that he was untouchable for Raptors fans, but let’s just say I have an archive of screenshotted…
