Is there a player in the NBA that plays with more FURY than Montrezl “Monsterezl” Harrell? The fact that I’m framing the question that way means that no, there isn’t. The Clippers commentators called it passion. I’m not sure it’s passion, but more like he’s just pissed off all the time and plays like it….

Kyle Korver 16 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
Sucks to be Jason Terry. He came into the week number three (which is basically a bronze medal) all-time in three-pointers made over an NBA career at 2282, and he exits the week number five (a medal that says “you suck rod”). Stephen Curry passed him a few games ago, and now Kyle Korver has…
Read MoreDeandre Ayton 22 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
The more I think about it, the more I think a Deandre Ayton dunkilation would be kinda lame. I’ve seen all his dunks this year, either while making all these highlight vids or while reviewing them for potential dunks-of-the-month candidacy, and I’ll be forthright with you: most of them are lame. Thus rendering a dunkilation…
Read MoreAbdel Nader 15 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
Almost out of nowhere, Abdel Nader is starting to contribute a little bit for the Thunder. Not a big bit, but a little bit. And I hope Thunder fans are pleased with this, because he needs a little loving after the Celtics traded him for almost nothing (this was part of the “Rodney Purvis gets…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 24 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
My memory of last season is already pretty hazy, so I can’t remember if I had a reason for not making a Marco Belinelli three-ilation. Did I not realize how thoroughly entertaining such an -ilation would be? Or was I just too lazy to make it? Maybe I didn’t like how he would suddenly switch…
Read MoreMalik Beasley 21 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
For most of this season (which is now half over – where did the time go?), Malik Beasley has been the undisputed leader for the “Best Beasley in the NBA” award. And here, we can really say “undisputed”, because the other Beasley, Michael Beasley, wasn’t even appearing in games for the Lakers. All Malik had…
Read MoreKelly Oubre Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
“Uh, Kelly, what are you doing out here? Coach says you gotta get your butt back to practice.” Kelly Oubre looked up with annoyance at Devin Booker, who was apparently the teammate chosen to come find him after he had announced that he needed a “bathroom break” fifteen minutes into practice. “I’m busy,” he said,…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 22 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
Looking at Bogdan Bogdanovic’s relatively unstylish haircut and his complete lack of facial hair, I was suddenly reminded of a former Kings player who was from the same approximate region of the world and had a similar plain appearance. I’ll give you a little while for you to figure out who I’m thinking of. Remember…
Read MoreJosh Okogie 17 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
Josh Okogie, despite tying a career high with seventeen points (note for future viewers: Okogie is a rookie in this season, so “career high” doesn’t mean much), actually didn’t have a great game shooting the ball. He was fine from inside the arc, but a dreadful 1-of-8 from three. A lot of players have had…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 28 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
When I saw that Aaron Gordon scored 28 points in the Magic’s improbable win over the Celtics, I immediately thought one thing: SLAG has returned. (SLAG is my nickname for Gordon – it stands for Summer League Aaron Gordon, but the nickname is not always applicable.) Then, my eye slid across his statline, only to…
