Mike “Muscy Stench” Muscala isn’t even shooting 40% from the field this year. That’s not a good look for a big guy, since big guys are, by definition, closer to the basket than little guys, which means it’s easier form them to score. That’s just how the world works. The world works by discriminating against…

Mikal Bridges 17 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)
When I see a skinny wing player in the NBA, I just can’t help myself. I have to compare them to Corey Brewer even if they play nothing alike. That’s why I think that the best NBA comparison for Mikal Bridges is Corey Brewer. It’s literally only because they’re both lanky small forwards. Under scrutiny,…
Read MoreGary Payton II 11 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)
By my calculations, Gary Payton’s 10-day contract with the Wizards is just about to expire. He picked a really good time to efficiently score 11 points in a quarter while playing good defense and almost leading his team back from a 25-point deficit. Because now the ‘Zards have no choice but to give him a…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 25 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)
Reggie Jackson fans, you can come out now. It’s safe. No one’s going to hurt you. He just scored 25 points, no one is going to make fun of you for being a fan. It’s okay. We will still wonder why you’re a fan of him in the first place, but as of right now,…
Read MoreKenneth Faried 19 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)
Jahlil Okafor may have beat out Kenneth Faried in the “discarded bigmen who might be good but also might not be good because why else would their old teams give up on them so easily” battle, and maybe his team also won the game based on his efforts, but I’m still really happy for Faried…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)
Brandon Ingram made 16 shots tonight, a career-best. His points were also a career-best, but everyone knows that it’s buckets, not raw points, that are the true measure of how good a performance is. That’s why no one actually likes James Harden (they pretend to, but the truth will be revealed when Paul George wins…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 19 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)
An observation from the Bucks-Pistons game that Pistons fans have probably been observing for the whole season: the ball movement got way better for them once Blake Griffin sat down. Like, the Bucks were getting totally bamboozled by the amount of passing going on. Then Griffin comes back in, and it’s back to pretending he’s…
Read MoreJahlil Okafor 27 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)
It’s official. Anthony Davis wants out of New Orleans after they spent over half a decade trying (and failing) to put a decent team around him. What does this mean for our favorite marginalized big man, Jahlil “Jah Rule” Okafor? This is going to sound like a cop-out answer but: it depends. If Alvin Gentry…
Read MoreJamal Crawford 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/29/2019)
It was brought up during this broadcast that Jamal Crawford is getting very close to Suns commentator Eddie Johnson’s career points total. Barring a season-and-career-ending injury to Crawford within the next 48 hours, I’d say that Crawford will have no trouble surpassing EJ’s total. Before the game, Crawford was at 19170 points. Eddie Johnson was…
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 28 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)
I’ve been kind of ignoring Jordan Clarkson and his middling-to-decent scoring performances recently, and, you know what? I’m not even going to apologize for it. Judging by the view counts on my recent Clarkson videos, nobody really cares that much about him even though he has his own team, and the reason for that is,…
