Kenneth 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…

Brandon 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…

Luke 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…

Jahlil 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…

Jamal 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…

Jordan 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,…

Davis Bertans 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/29/2019)

OFFICIAL PLAYERS DRAFTED IN THE SECOND ROUND OF THE 2011 DRAFT WHO ARE STILL IN THE LEAGUE POWER RANKINGS: 1. Bojan Bogdanovic (MJ-lite [and MJ-white (LOL [lots of laughs])]) 2. E’Twaun Moore (Also MJ-lite) 3. Davis Bertans (The Latvian Laser is finally getting unleashed. When he’s hot, he’s more dangerous than pointing a laser pointer…

Shabazz Napier 24 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)

Shabazz Napier set his mail down on his kitchen table without giving it a second thought. All his bills were paid online, and all other important things went through his agent, so there was no point in looking at it. However, as he readied his afternoon snack of a bowl of unsalted, unbuttered popcorn covered…

Jabari Parker 22 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)

When Jabari Parker has games like these, it’s easy to forget that every advanced stat in the universe hates his guts (and he probably hates those stats right back). It’s easy to forget that he literally told the media that he doesn’t see the point of playing defense. It’s easy to forget that his knee…

Jordan McRae 15 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)

Before this game, Jordan McRae was a depressing 2-of-14 from the field in his ten games for the Wizards. When McRae was put into the game with the Wizards down twenty-something points, I’m sure that Scott Brooks thought he was throwing in the towel. Then, McRae scored fifteen points in five minutes, quadrupling his total…
