JaMychal Green 19 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2018)

JaMychal Green has got to be one of the more anonymous “good” players in the league. He’s a totally acceptable starter-quality power forward. He can dunk, he can rebound, and he added a three-point shot a few years ago that has worked out nicely for him. Like a black Ersan Ilyasova without the charge-drawing ability….

Jeff Teague 3 Points/18 Assists Full Highlights (12/5/2018)

Jeff Teague’s 18 assists is the most by any player so far this season. He’s not even tied with anybody, he’s just straight up the best single-game assister in the NBA right now. But with any performance with this many dimes, some of them are going to be a little iffy. Let’s take a look…

Jamal Murray 31 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/5/2018)

The top two assist-getters on the Nuggets are a flabby center and Jamal Murray. The flabby center gets way more, but I always think of Murray as more of the “shooty” kind of guard. Not the “passy” kind. But he’s averaging almost five assists per game this season. Who says the “Jamal Murray at point…

Tomas Satoransky 14 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/5/2018)

Wizards record with John Wall starting: 10-14 Wizards record with Tomas Satoransky starting: 3-0 Granted, two of those wins were with both starting, with Wall at PG and Satoransky at… small forward? But it still illustrates a trend that I noticed last year: the ‘Zards just look better with him running the show. More like…

Evan Fournier 26 Points/6 Threes/1 Ejection Full Highlights (12/5/2018)

Evan Fournier got ejected from this game for picking up two separate technical fouls. I showed the second one but it wasn’t very exciting. Basically, his defense on Nikola Jokic was too good so they had to call a foul to get him fouled out of the game. Then he talked back to the ref,…

Julius Randle 27 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2018)

I’m feeling like Julius Randle is everything that the Pelicans wanted when they traded for DeMarcus Cousins, but way better. Like Cousins, Randle is very eager to shoot the ball when he gets it near the basket, but unlike Cousins, he actually has some touch near the rim and his wild-looking shots go in more…

Allen Crabbe 22 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/5/2018)

Allen “Crabbey Patty” Crabbe was afforded two chances at four-point plays in this game, but screwed them both up. The final margin of the game? Two points. The same two points that Crabbey Patty left on the court by not hitting his and-one free throws. To be sure, this was a tremendous chokejob by all…

Rudy Gay 31 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2018)

Rudy “Not This Guy” Gay, for this one game, was PRIME Rudy Gay. Whether or not that is a good thing is up to the viewer to decide, but I will guide the formation of your opinion by providing my own opinion: prime Rudy Gay was an alright player. Just alright. He had shortcomings which…

Jonas Valanciunas 26 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2018)

Am I seeing things or did Jonas Valanciunas just take the hugest dump EVER right on Joel Embiid’s face? The full title for this vid should be “Jonas Valanciunas 26 Points/1 Mondo Lithuanian DUMP Full Highlights (12/5/2018)”, just to give people a more accurate idea of what they’re getting into before clicking on this vid….

Collin Sexton 21 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2018)

The Cavaliers lost this game when whoever that Cavaliers commentator is that isn’t Austin Carr compared what Collin Sexton was doing to #30 on the Warriors, Stephen Curry. It’s fine to get a little excited in the heat of the moment, but comparing a so-so rookie to the greatest shooter of all time is just…
