After yet another perfect performance from the charity stripe, Malcolm Brogdon is now 71 of 72 on the season shooting free throws. We’re basically halfway through the season, and he has missed ONE time. I remember it to, because it was so shocking. Against Denver. Slightly left (or maybe right but I think left) and…

Terrence Ross 20 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
Raise your hand if you noticed that Terrence Ross is averaging 13 points per game this season. And then put that hand down because you are LYING. There is no one earth who still cares enough about slam-dunk-champion Terrence Ross to realize that he’s having the best season, scoring-wise, of his career. Theoretically, fans of…
Read MoreThon Maker 15 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
I admit, Thon Maker did some impressive things against the Jazz. “Impressive” in that it is a miracle every time he manages to catch the ball (that means not having just bonk off his hands) and manipulate it into the basket without losing control of it. There were multiple plays where I said out loud…
Read MoreMonte Morris 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
It would probably be a disservice to Chris Paul if I were to compare the smooth midrange scoring game of Monte “Tay Time” Morris to the legendary midrange wizardry of CP3 (now squandered, and not just because of his injury), so I’m not going to make that comparison. It might also be an insult to…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 29 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
As much “potential” as Brandon Ingram has, he hasn’t yet shown the ability to dominate in a slowed-down, halfcourt offense. However, with this game, I would say that he has absolutely shown the ability to dominate in a fast-paced game where all he does is take advantage of transition opportunities. Because that’s exactly what he…
Read MoreLonzo Ball 21 Points/5 Assists/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
I feel like I haven’t heard enough from Lavar Ball lately. Last year and the year before, NBA headlines were dominated by Lonzo’s dad all the time. You couldn’t step foot into the NBA section of any sports website without seeing five different articles featuring the latest braggadocious Lavar soundbite. Now, it’s like he doesn’t…
Read MoreP.J. Tucker 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
The Rockets commentators could not stop bringing up the fact that P.J. “Peej” Tucker was, prior to this game, in a three-point shooting slump so deep it made the Mariana Trench look like a bike track through packed dirt, so I enlisted the help of the invaluable basketball-reference website to help me fact-check these claims….
Read MoreLuka Doncic 27 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
Normally, when a player has only two assists, I don’t bother to show them in a highlight video. I don’t even bother to look at them. It’s just not worth my time for most players. Luka “Lukadris” Doncic is not “most players”. He is the Slovenian rookie phenom who is guaranteed to be ROTY of…
Read MoreGerald Green 21 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
Sometimes I look at dudes like Gerald Green, the dudes who have the really cool hair patterns on their head, and I think: why doesn’t my hair do that? All my hair does is sit there. It doesn’t make any patterns. How do I get my hair to grow into patterns like that? Do I…
Read MoreFrank Jackson 17 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
Summer League seems like so long ago now. There was a lot of hype going on then, maybe not as much as the year previous (I’m still recovering from the Lonzo hype), but everyone was getting, as usual, super excited about marginal talents. Talents like, you guessed it, Frank Jackson! I’m pretty sure that he…
