Trey Burke was one of the sweetest stories in the league last year, from dropping out entirely after being a high pick to dropping a 40/10 game on the unsuspecting heads of all his haters. All the people who had been ragging on him for being a bust-like substance turned face and started talking about…

Nemanja Bjelica 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/25/2019)
Nemanja Bjelica allegedly suffered from “back tightness”, which prevented him from playing in the Kings’ game against the Raptors three days ago. But how sure are we that “back tightness” was the real reason he was held out? “Back tightness” sounds like something you would make up so that people don’t get suspicious when they…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 26 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2019)
There are both upsides and downsides to living with a sentient twelve-foot-tall 3D-printed naked purple plastic figurine of Buddy Hield that you ordered online for $3,000 but must have entered the wrong dimensions for on the order form. The upside is that you have a friend who understands you and is always loyal and will,…
Read MoreDragan Bender 14 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2019)
Okay. So it’s great that Bender has now had four “good” games in a row. They might not have been “good” in the way that a Luka Doncic game is “good”, but scoring in the teens is an accomplishment for Bender, and now he’s probably established himself as a player who deserves more minutes than…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 32 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2019)
“What did you say this place was called again?” Luka asked, looking around curiously at the restaurant’s decor, which seemed like it had been ripped straight out of the 90’s. He shifted his legs uncomfortably in the too-small plastic booth, then decided to prop them up on the seat opposite him for maximum comfort. “Taco…
Read MoreJustise Winslow 27 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2019)
After conducting an exhaustive, meticulous, frame-by-frame analysis of this video, I am confident in stating these things about Justise Winslow: -He is a big bowl of Bustaroni and Cheese -His name should be Bustise Winslow -His name could also be Justise Inslo because he has no W’s -He should be the bust man at my…
Read MoreNoah Vonleh Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2019)
You know how everybody heaps praise upon the NBA by allowing the fans a voice in the form of All-Star votes even though those votes aren’t even the final deciding factor of who makes the game and who doesn’t make the game? What if I told you that the YouTube channel DownToBuck, he most critically-acclaimed…
Read MoreCedi Osman Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2019)
A quick reminder to LeBron James: while it’s very kind of you to transfer your powers of basketballing to Cedi Osman so he can use them while your “groin” is “injured” (code for “he jacked it too much”), you have to remember to take them back when it’s time for the All-Star game. Even if…
Read MoreTheo Pinson 19 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2019)
I’m a big fan of performances where a player scores a big chunk of their entire season output prior to the game in a single game. I’m rereading that sentence and it’s not making much since, and I can’t figure out how to phrase it better, so how about an illustrative example! Theo Pinson had…
