Furkan “The Motherfurker” “Korverkmaz” “The Turk Furk” Korkmaz isn’t even shooting above 40% from the field this season. I just found this out and it’s like a total betrayal for me. I guess I made too many highlights of this guy and assumed that he was as good as his highlight videos made him out…

Jordan Clarkson 26 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2019)
I am detecting some emerging chemistry between Jordan Clarkson and Matthew Dellavedova. This is strange to me because, during his time in Milwaukee, Delly didn’t seem to develop any chemistry with anybody. All he did was have his ass develop chemistry with the bench because that’s where he spent most of his time sitting. Somehow,…
Read MoreJeremy Lin 20 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/8/2019)
I knock on the unmarked door, my arm trembling. Whether it trembles from trepidation or excitement, I can’t quite tell. The door remains closed for so long that I wonder if I have gotten the address wrong. However, after a nerve-wracking wait, the door opens a sliver and a pair of eyes peeks out. “Password?”…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 29 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/8/2019)
One of the things that MVP candidates have to do if they want to be more than just an MVP candidate and be the actual MVP is hit game-winners. No one really remembers random shots from the middle of the second quarter unless they’re REALLY crazy. But everyone remembers game-winners. Before I was an NBA…
Read MoreLandry Shamet Career High 29 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (1/8/2019)
If the 76ers are thinking that Landry Shamet can be a long-term replacement for J.J. Redick, this game definitely added some legitimacy to that idea. However, it didn’t do anything to help the main issue that’s standing in the way of their plan, which is that Shamet is simply WAY weirder-looking than Redick. By a…
Read MoreMalcolm Brogdon 21 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
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…
Read MoreTerrence 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…
