Justise Winslow 21 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

I’ve previously been skeptical of the “Justise Winslow is a point guard” movement, but the stats aren’t lying to me and my eyeballs aren’t lying to me either. Here’s what the stats say: Winslow had nine assists in this game. Here’s what my eyeballs say: Winslow is competent at running pick and rolls, which is…

Enes Kanter 23 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

“Uh, Enes? You okay man?” Enes Kanter looked up at his teammate Courtney Lee with watery eyes. “Yeah. I’m fine.” “You’ve been staring at your phone, sobbing, for thirty minutes, so I don’t think you’re fine,” Courtney replied. “What’s going on?” Wordlessly, Enes handed Courtney his phone, then buried his face in his hands and…

Spencer Dinwiddie 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

Spencer “Din-Dins” Dinwiddie lowkey shot poorly from the field last season (39%; in my book, anything below 40% is unacceptable), so I just sort of assumed that he was shooting poorly from the field this season too. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I saw that he’s shooting 47% from the field on a higher volume…

Shaquille Harrison Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

Shaquille “Shaqh” Harrison getting a career-high twenty points was literally the only good thing that happened to the Bulls this game, which they lost to the Celtics 133-77. Imagine if Shaqh had put up a point total more in line with his season average of six – the Bulls would have scored 63 points. Luckily,…

Daniel Theis Career High 22 Points/5 Assists/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

Al Horford has been booty this year. Guerschon Yabusele has been booty also, but in a different way, if you catch my drift (heh heh heh). But yeah, Horford, he was an All-Star last year but this year looks a million steps slow even if his stats are about the same (which is only because…

Nikola Jokic 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

Nikola Jokic had five 20-point performances in the first seven games of the season. Since then, in the 19 games after that? Six. That’s more than five, which means that my point isn’t as hard-hitting as it could be, but still. I’m sounding like a broken record, but we need more Jokic buckets. He hasn’t…

Collin Sexton 29 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

Pictured: Collin Sexton reacting to the news that Matthew Dellavedova got traded back to the Cavaliers and now he’s going to lose his starting job. Not Pictured: Dellavedova scoring 29, because that’s never happened and never will happen until he does a really sad retirement tour in the Aussie NBL. Sexton had a bit of…

John Collins Career High 30 Points/1 Ejection Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

Here’s what I wrote when John Collins scored 24 points 2 games ago: “I’m willing to bet on the inevitability of a John Collins thirty-pointer if there is anybody out there stupid enough to take the other end of the bet. The terms are simple: John Collins. Thirty points. By the end of the season….

Luka Doncic 21 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

The demise of the Rockets continues apace as a previously-struggling Luka Doncic scores 11 straight points near the end of the fourth quarter to put the Mavericks over the top. If I was a normal person who hadn’t boxed himself into a corner by writing more and more outlandish descriptions for NBA highlight videos on…
