I was hopeful that every single shot in this video was going to be a hook shot, but my hopes were dashed when it turned out that Robin Lopez threw a couple garden-variety layups in there. Layups are kind of like hook shots where you’re shooting from in front of your body instead of from…

Miles Bridges 14 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2019)
So apparently Miles Bridges was in the dunk contest. I don’t know how he did because I don’t watch the dunk contest and I don’t care about the dunk contest. In-game dunks are just way better than contrived dunks with props. That’s not an unpopular opinion, but I take it one step further by purposely…
Read MoreDwight Powell 20 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2019)
Over the offseason, Dwight Powell came up with a (pretty decent, in my mind) plan to get DeAndre Jordan off the Mavericks. It involved serving Jordan a chocolate cake laced with marijuana that would cause Jordan to fail the routine drug test that’s part of his physical. The plan didn’t go according to plan because…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 16 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2019)
It’s not shown in this video, but Davis Bertans was afforded the opportunity to be the hero in this game when he took a leaning baseline jumper with four seconds left in the game, the Spurs down by one. It wasn’t really a good look, but that’s on DeMar DeRozan for getting locked down hard…
Read MoreCheick Diallo 16 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2019)
I don’t know how over-unders work or what they even are really, because I’m not a degenerate gambling-addicted schmoe, but what’s the over-under on Cheick Diallo getting a 20-20 game before the season is over? I’m going with 1000. Final answer. The Pelicans commentators (or at least Joel Meyers) seem to think it will happen,…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 20 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2019)
Bad news for Hornets fans: Nicolas Batum is still getting paid 75 million over the next three years (this year included, and the last year is a player option but why the heck wouldn’t he take it), and he seems to have decided that he doesn’t want to score the ball anymore. Good news for…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 19 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2019)
Standing with his teammates in the huddle, Taj Gibson knew he should be listening to his coach. Normally he was attentive during timeouts, but this timeout was different. Before the game, Taj had used his status as an NBA player to covertly meet one-on-one with the Madison Square Garden employee who was in charge of…
Read MorePascal Siakam 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/22/2019)
It was a long time ago now, but try to remember way back to right before the All-Star break. It’ll be tough to recall such ancient history, but somewhere deep in the greyest of your grey matter is a faint memory of Pascal “Suck ‘Em” Siakam scoring 44 points. Retrieve that memory and bring it…

OFFICIAL REASONS WHY NO ONE CARES ABOUT DERRICK FAVORS POWER RANKINGS 1. Utah 2. Lame dunks 3. Not enough threes 4. Latent racism (could be combined with “Utah”) 5. Last traded a million years ago 6. Slam dunks that are unexciting OFFICIAL REASONS WHY NO ONE CARES ABOUT DOWNTOBUCK’S “FLAVORS OF FAVORS” COOKBOOK POWER RANKINGS…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 16 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2019)
Anthony Tolliver is currently tied for second place in the NBA in one important stat. I don’t like cliffhangers, so I’ll just tell you the stat straight up since you’re obviously very confused right now that there is a stat where The Tollbooth is almost the best in the league. Ready? Heck yes you are:…
