Fanbases are uniformly guilty of assuming that their rookies (no matter where they were picked, or even whether they were draft at all) are going to come in to their inaugural season ready to contribute right away. Every single fanbase does this, so I’m not singling out Lakers fans here for penciling in Moritz “Dajuan…

Sam Dekker 20 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2018)
This is, somewhat surprisingly, the only 20-plus point game of Sam Dekker’s illustrious career except for that random 30-point explosion he had back in January of 2017. He’s had his chances, 165 of them to be exact, to score a good amount of points, and this is only his second success. That 19-point game and…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 32 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/16/2018)
Who is this commentator? I know why one of the regular Nets commentators isn’t doing it tonight, because I totally heard him on an NFL broadcast (which one is his side hustle?), but what about the other regular one? Did he die? That would make some sense, because this new guy sounds really subdued. Either…
Read MoreMontrezl Harrell 21 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (12/15/2018)
I might be one of the biggest boosters of Montrezl “Reginz” Harrell, but I have to admit that this video is lackluster compared to previous Harrell videos that I have made. Other than the three-pointer, which was taken under shot-clock duress and wouldn’t have normally happened, there’s not much to get excited about in this…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 24 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2018)
If I’m a citizen of Mexico City this morning, I’m asking for a GOD-DAMN refund for that horrible basketball game that I was forced to endure. Or at least a three-fourths refund. The last quarter of play was acceptable (the Magic outscored the Jazz 41-30) but the first three quarters were an insult to the…
Read MoreJevon Carter 11 Points Grizzlies Debut Full Highlights (12/15/2018)
Since I don’t know anything about Jevon Carter, I’m going to go ahead and assume that you don’t know anything about him either. And, since I’m always looking out for the best interests of my subscriber base, I have already gone on a fact-finding expedition that reached far across the internet, with the goal of…
Read MoreGerald Green 17 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2018)
Since I am so tickled by my new “Greenhouse” moniker for the deadly three-point shooting, high-flying tandem of Gerald Green and Danuel House, I now present you: the OFFICIAL GREENHOUSE STATUS UPDATE: The Green part of the Greenhouse held up his end of the bargain by scoring seventeen points on just six shot attempts. He…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 21 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2018)
My Flavors of Favors webseries is a little bit slow to get off the ground, but I’m still committed to making this thing happen. The prospect of millions of dollars of ad revenue is a primary motivator, sure, but I’m also motivated to get these delicious down-home recipes into the hands of my viewership (which,…
Read MoreMalik Monk 19 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2018)
Whenever I see a player fall into the trap of “do a bunch of meaningless dribble moves and then jack an 18-foot jumper” I despair for them. Maybe Malik Monk was just trying to catch the eye of Lance Stephenson, but getting a good shot for your team is infinitely more important than trying to…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 21 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2018)
There’s probably people out there who secretly wish that I would create a Marcus Smart Floppilation at the end of this season. I would like to put that idea to rest right now. Such a video would not happen for a myriad of reasons: -Flops do not appear in the box-score. The closest I would…
