Monte Morris nudged Jamal Murray, grinning. “Yo, Jamal, those chicks over there are totally checking you out. I think they know you just scored 48, man. And they look like the kind of chicks who would double up on a dude like you.” Murray rearranged himself in his newly-constructed fort. “Nah man, I think they’re…

Enes Kanter 23 Points/24 Rebounds/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
We’re going to ignore the stuff that Enes Kanter did that didn’t end up in this video (turnovers, bricks, lack of defense, etc) and just assume that he had a good game tonight. Okay? Everyone cool with that? Because I don’t want to live in a world where a guy puts up 23/24/7 off the…
Read MoreTristan Thompson 19 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
Tristan Thompson has almost become more known for his exploits off the court than on, and that’s NOT OKAY. I don’t care which meat pocket he’s sliding into. I care about his dunks, his rebounds, and his laughable statement before the season where he said that the Cavaliers were still the best team in the…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 15 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
Jaren Jackson has been pretty good this year, right? He’s on the Grizzlies, so no news of his exploits ever escapes a 50-mile radius around the arena, but from what little I’ve seen of him, he’s looked decent. Except for that three-ball. The scouts were right about that one; it doesn’t look very workable on…

Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/4/2018)
I feel like D’Angelo Russell is slipping into obscurity with the Nets. Even though he’s in a big market and his draft position hasn’t changed (he was taken second overall in the 2015 draft and that isn’t likely to change), the expectations that were on him in Los Angeles don’t seem to be there anymore….
Read MoreD.J. Augustin 18 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/4/2018)
The pattern that’s emerged through D.J. Augustin’s long and peripatetic NBA career is that he’s either a really good backup PG who fans are thrilled to have…or he’s a mediocre starter who is just good enough not to destroy the team’s winning chances, but not good enough to get excited about. He’s constantly getting traded…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 17 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2018)
Dillon Brooks doesn’t seem to be reacting well towards having his minutes and opportunities reduced this year. He was a surprise for the Grizzlies last year, and ended up playing a ton as they entered ultra-tank mode. He was one of their best players, somehow, during the final stretch of unwatchable basketball Memphis was plopping…
Read MorePascal Siakam 16 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/4/2018)
Masai Ujiri must still be really salty over having Giannis Antetokounmpo snatched up in front of him, because he’s seemingly trying to turn Pascal Siakam into a similar player after the failure of Bruno Caboclo to do the same. I mean, there’s no other reason for Siakam to be bringing the ball up the court,…
Read MoreMo Bamba 12 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2018)
If the Magic want to avoid being stuck in 11th seed purgatory forever, they need Mo Bamba to turn into their next Shaq. Starting right now. There are other paths forward, but most of them are not feasible (praying for Giannis to come save you is not really a valid path), this one is the…
