Deandre Ayton 25 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
The Suns need to trade for Ricky Rubio in order to unlock Deandre Ayton’s full scoring potential. Devin Booker is fine, but he’s not a true PG who can consistently set him up for makeable buckets. I shouldn’t need to remind anyone of what Rubio did to Karl-Anthony Towns’ scoring output, but these three words…
Read MoreTyus Jones 15 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
With just one more three-point bucket Tyus Jones would’ve set a career-high in both points and assists tonight. I don’t mean to imply that what he did tonight wasn’t something special, but it could’ve easily been way special-er. Truthfully, the path to assists for a point guard on the Timberwolves is wide and clearly-marked: get…
Read MoreDarius Miller 21 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
Now seems like a good time to say that I’m sorry. That’s what the new year is about, right? Atoning for past sins with promises of doing better now that the proverbial slate is proverbially clean? It seems like I’ve been having to do a lot of apologizing lately (though I want to go on…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 20 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
It’s hard to criticize anything that the Pacers are doing, since they’re one of the best teams in the East with what I consider to be a somewhat motley collection of players. But, just saying, if I had a guy on my team who was averaging 21/14/4 per 36 I would try and make sure…
Read MoreKyle Anderson Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
Just to temper everyone’s excitement from this career-high-tying performance: Kyle Anderson went 0-of-6 from the free-throw line during it. That’s the most free throws taken without a make this season, by any player. We could be looking at a career-high-smashing 26-burger. We could legitimately be looking at that RIGHT NOW. What a way to welcome…
Read MoreMalik Monk 21 Points Full HIghlights (12/31/2018)
I would like to apologize to Steve Clifford. I treated him unfairly, thinking that he was blatantly holding down Malik Monk (who I perceived to be a grade-A talent) to further his own nefarious goals of promoting Julyan Stone (the Chris Paul stopper). I was mad on all of Charlotte’s behalf, struggling to understand why…
Read MoreKevin Huerter 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
I’m not having as much fun with this current Hawks team as I did with last year’s version. That team had Tyler Cavanaugh on it, and he was super fun. Kevin Huerter just isn’t the same. He’s theoretically the same kind of player (the white three-point shooting kind), but I think I just naturally gravitate…
