Serge Ibaka always torches the Bucks, and it always happens the same way: by him shooting a bunch of barely contested midrange jumpers. Especially this season, since the Bucks’ new defensive strategy is to basically let teams shoot as many of those as they want. Over time, I guess, the theory is that the Bucks’…

Fred VanVleet 21 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/5/2019)
It is as I feared: almost all of these assists are to Serge Ibaka, and none of them are to Kawhi Leonard. Why does Fred VanVleet hate Kawhi? It may not seem like he does, because there are no locker-room reports of fights involving or not involving punching, there are no attacks through the media,…
Read MorePascal Siakam Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2019)
All the evidence is now pointing to Toronto’s “bench mob” from last year just being “Pascal Siakam the Great and his motley crew of garbage-suckers”. Because now that he’s graduated to being a legit starter, the bench can hardly do anything. Evidence: the bench scored 5 of the 123 points the Raptors scored this game….
Read MoreJalen Jones 15 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2019)
At the 0:53 mark of this video, the Cavs commentator who isn’t Austin Carr (I forget his name right now) says something rather dumb: that Jalen “Jalebird” Jones, by scoring his thirteenth point, has set a “New Rookie NBA Career High”. He didn’t say the “Jalebird” part (that is my own ingenious nickname innovation) but…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 21 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2019)
“Dear Diary, Today after we lost to the Blazers, coach Mike was real angry with us. He said we need to “step up” because James can’t win the game all by himself. Then he said “Austin stepped up but nobody else did” and that made me happy even though he said it an angry way….
Read MoreJustin Jackson Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2019)
As the team walked into the locker room, the mood of the Sacramento Kings was one of disappointment. To come so close to beating the Warriors, the defending champs and still one of the best teams in the NBA, was heartbreaking. Justin Jackson trudged to his locker, wishing dearly for the laughing and chatting which…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 32 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (1/5/2019)
I swear, my 12-foot-tall 3D-printed purple plastic naked statue of Buddy Hield who has somehow gained sentience is getting smarter by the day. I wouldn’t think he would get smarter just by hanging out in my apartment and watching cute animal videos on YouTube (today he spent about three hours giggling at that video of…
Read MoreBismack Biyombo 16 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2019)
Bismack “Bustmack” Biyombo has been a DNP-magnet for the entirety of his second stint with the Hornets, the team that originally drafted him. Basically every big man on the Hornets’ roster has been ahead of Biyombust in the rotation, even guys like Willy Hernangomez and Frank Kaminsky. Those dudes have also gotten their fair share…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 39 Points/6 Assists/1 Dunk Full Highlights (1/5/2019)
NIKOLA JOKIC DUNK STREAK ALERT! NIKOLA JOKIC DUNK STREAK ALERT! NIKOLA JOKIC HAS HAD TWO GAMES IN A ROW WHERE HE DUNKED AT LEAST ONE TIME! ALERT ALERT ALERT It is my sincere hope that Nikola Jokic does not dunk for a third game in a row. Not because it wouldn’t be a totally awesome…
Read MoreRyan Broekhoff 15 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (1/5/2019)
At what point do we say that Ryan Broekhoff is too good for my channel? I’ve been promoting him since the beginning of his career with the Mavericks, I think he’s a great player (that’s actually the problem here), but he just keeps having these big games. When he dominated fellow countryman Ben Simmons with…
