Some notes about Thomas Bryant/this game since I’m too lazy to weave these disparate points together into a logical narrative: -If you ever wondered whether Thomas Bryant could dunk, you don’t have to wait much longer unless you paused the video to read the description. -Was Thomas Bryant always this chubby-looking? The dude I remember…

Eric Gordon 26 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
Eric Gordon is slowly rounding (get it? rounding… because his head is really round! hahaha) back into form after a fairly disastrous first dozen games. Somehow, the Rockets hadn’t won any of the first two recent games where he was really good, but they won this one, and I bet that will start a trend….
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 26 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
It would be easy to blame D’Angelo Russell for tonight’s loss against the Grizzlies, since he had that costly turnover with 20 seconds left in regulation, but that wouldn’t be fair. He did so much other good stuff and honestly, I would place most of the blame on Jaren Jackson who scored 36 unearned points…
Read MoreAlex Len 19 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
Alex Len has valiantly attempted to remain NBA-relevant by adding a three-point shot to his game this year. He sort of had one last year (wait, two years ago, and I’m totally exaggerating because he only shot 12 the whole season), but it seems like he’s being encouraged to shoot it a bit more with…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 24 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
I’m looking right now at all the NBA players averaging 15 points per game, and it’s challenging my hypothesis that Jeremy Lamb was the quietest 15 ppg scorer this year. I was like “man, I bet no one besides Hornets fans and maybe some OKC stragglers realize how good he’s doing this year”, and I’m…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 25 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
It has come to my attention that Nikola “Vucci Mane” Vucevic doesn’t even like the nickname “Vucci Mane”. That’s too bad, because I really think it’s the best one that he has (even if I don’t exactly know who Gucci Mane is), but I will respect his wishes and not use it for at least…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
Furkan “The Motherfurker” “Korverkmaz” Korkmaz seems to be doing okay after reportedly demanding a trade a month ago. He’s still on the 76ers, I haven’t heard any other murmurings of discontent, and now he’s even getting to play minutes! And not just the garbagey ones. Real ones. Sometimes. Not all the time, but more than…
Read MoreAlex Abrines 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
The Thunder commentators’ mention of Juan Carlos Navarro being Alex Abrines’ favorite shooter while growing up got me to thinking about how sweet a Navarro three-ilation would’ve been (he made 156 in his only NBA season) and how it sucks that the NBA isn’t opening up its vast game archives for the betterment of humanity….
Read MoreKyle Korver 14 Points Jazz Debut Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
I don’t think I’m alone in having the impression that Kyle Korver was really good for the Jazz during his first stint with them. Where did this come from? Because he wasn’t. I mean, he was, percentage-wise (because he stopped shooting threes to get the record, I’m not going to let people forget about this),…
Read MoreJaren Jackson Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
It’s funny, the Memphis commentators had the distinct tone of “let’s wrap up this game with some statistical tidbits because there’s no way we’re going to win this one” which switched right into “frenzied excitement due to the un-freaking-believable nature of the happenings occurring before our eyes” as Jaren Jackson hit a three while getting…
