I can’t believe it. Spoelstra is trying to turn Justise Winslow into a full-time point guard, and it’s actually working. Heck, it’s more than working: Winslow is playing the best basketball of his life right now. How is this happening? Here’s the deal: I’ve seen Winslow suck for three or four years now. I’ve danced…

Robert Covington 28 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2018)
Is there any way the Timberwolves can just make Andrew Wiggins… disappear? Not like, kill him or anything, but just make it so the universe assigned him to be an accountant rather than an NBA player? He can even be an accountant for the Timberwolves if he wants. All those missed free throws in overtime…
Read MoreAbdel Nader Career High 18 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2018)
If you’re on the fence about watching this video or not, consider the following: by my intricate mathematical calculations, this 18-point performance by Abdel Nader is roughly equivalent to Stephen Curry scoring 200 points. Now, you shouldn’t be on the fence about watching this video in the first place. There’s almost no chance that you’ve…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 30 Points/20 Rebounds/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2018)
The second Nikola Vucevic grabbed his 20th rebound, giving him the coveted 30-20 game, the very instant he snatched that ball, he graduated from my channel. It’s been a long time coming, Vucci Mane. I’ve been propping you up all these years, and now look at you. Averaging 20 and 10 (well, 12) like I…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 33 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2018)
New Year’s resolution for D’Angelo Russell: develop some god-damn consistency. I’m so serious about my desire to see him be consistent that I prefaced it with a “god-damn”. This is not just a vague thought that I have, that maybe it would be kinda cool if he didn’t score 35 one game with a bunch…
Read MoreNoah Vonleh 15 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
Noah Vonleh has now earned a rightful reputation as a “Giannis Stopper”. His wide body, athleticism, and fearless bodily sacrifices make him the perfect guy to slow down Giannis’ relentless drives. By virtue of this “Giannis Stopper” status alone, Vonleh will continue to get NBA contracts for at least the next five years. Throw in…
Read MoreIman Shumpert 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
Iman “Dumpert” Shumpert doesn’t exactly fit into the Kings’ long term plans, given that he’s a.) too old (28) and b.) under contract for just this season. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got traded at the deadline, just because overpaid players on the last years of their deals tend to get traded…
Read MoreJ.J. Redick 24 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
I have now heard multiple references to this season being a “career year” for J.J. Redick. It’s true that he’s averaging more points per game (18) than he ever has before (his previous best was 17 PPG last season, and that was also a “career year”). However, can it really be a career year for…
Read MoreDante Exum 20 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
A few weeks ago I wrote a letter to Australia asking for a warranty replacement on my Dante Exum. Somehow he got broken even though I didn’t drop him or treat him roughly or anything like that. It was just, like, one day he stopped working as well as he should have been. I don’t…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
Nemanja Bjelica has cooled off since his hot start, but the trend remains the same: when he does good (I’m defining “good” here as “scoring points”), the Kings do good. If he scores in single-digits, they’re almost guaranteed to lose. This trend, obviously, exists for a lot of players in the league, and it usually…
