Exactly one (1) day after he dropped a 16-burger on the Lakers (new rule: anything below twenty points is not a “burger”), Pascal Siakam dropped the same amount of points on the Jazz, who are another one of the disappointing teams in the West at this point. And he did it in much the same…

Langston Galloway 21 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
Langston Galloway might have been voted by his peers as “The NBA Player Most Likely to Own an English Estate” but at no point was he voted “The NBA Player Most Likely to Drop 17 In a Quarter Like it’s No Big Deal”. However, at the time of this writing, Galloway owns no property anywhere…
Read MoreGeorge Hill 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
George Hill never asked for this. He signed up to be a rock-solid PG on a championship team with LeBron James. He did not sign up to be a rock-solid PG for the worst team in the league. If it makes him feel a little better, it’s possible that he’s the “best” player on the…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay 16 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
It’s slight, but am I detecting a tiny bit of improvement from Emmanuel Mudiay? No, no, nevermind. That’s just the residual afterglow of his game-tying shot with two seconds left in double OT messing up my improvement-sensors again. I gotta get those things recalibrated so that clutch moments don’t send them haywire. Still, nice game…
Read MoreJulius Randle 26 Points/0 Missed Shots Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
What happened to the Pelicans? They’re still my darkhorse WCF team, because they always will be, forever and ever until the earth splits in two and demons emerge from hell to torment us for eternity, but it’s looking less likely than at the start of the year. That 149-point drubbing of the Kings (rereading that…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 15 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
In the interest of transparency and openness, I must inform you of this stat from Mario Hezonja’s performance tonight before you watch the corresponding highlight video: he went 6-of-18 from the field. But if I wanted to fill my quota of Euros tonight, this had to be one of the vids I made. So I’m…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
The Bench Mob is back! It hasn’t been impacting things like it was last season, when it was a key component of the Raptors successful season that culminated in… getting swept by LeBron. But forget about that part. Regular season success is way more fun to think about, and their collection of odd-but-somehow-tightly-fitting semi-scrubs accounted…
Read MoreOG Anunoby 17 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
I get a perverse sort of satisfaction when a young player whose team’s entire fabase claimed was going to be really good turns out to be… not so good. Don’t feel like I’m hating on Raptors fans in particular; every single fanbase does this, with it happening more or happening less based on how many…
Read MoreJosh Richardson 27 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
If Josh Richardson keeps this up, he’s going to find himself on the outside looking in when it comes to this channel. Not like he has any idea of my existence and if he did he wouldn’t care, but you know. This is the only way I can exercise some control over NBA players, you’ve…
Read MoreAlec Burks 22 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
Alec Burks has been with the Jazz his entire career, now going into his 8th season. I thought for sure he’d be the longest-tenured Jazzman, but I totally forgot about Derrick Favors who has been around for a quarter-season longer. Think about all the sweet players the Jazz have had in the last decade, and…
