P.J. Tucker 18 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)

I didn’t resent making this video, my thirtieth of the day, as much as I thought I would. Normally I’m not a huge fan of P.J. Tucker because he’s not much of a scorer, and when he does score, it’s usually on three-pointers and nothing else. I made this video out of an obligation to…

Joe Ingles 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/23/2019)

Since people (read: Australians who have a constitutional mandate in their countries’ founding legal framework that says they have to watch one or more Joe Ingles highlight videos per day) aren’t watching as many Joe Ingles highlights as they should, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I booked a flight to Sydney,…

Eric Gordon 25 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)

For a while now I’ve considered Eric Gordon to be like an ultra-discount version of James Harden. He’s not THAT heavily discounted in terms of contract size (getting paid 13.5 million this season) but he is discounted in terms of basketball skills. He can do most things that Harden can do, but he does them…

Taurean Prince 21 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)

I haven’t made a Taurean Prince video since early November. That’s like three whole months where there where Prince had no games which I deemed highlight-worthy. He was injured for a good chunk of that time, so he gets a pass there, but he’s been back from the injury for over a month and it’s…

Tony Parker 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/23/2019)

If there’s any game development companies out there reading the video descriptions on my NBA highlight videos, I’ve got a brand-new video game idea to pitch to you: Tony Parker’s Pro Parkour. It’s like Tony Hawks’ Pro Skater but instead of Tony Hawk and skateboarding, it’s Tony Parker and parkour. I don’t know if Tony…

Thaddeus Young 22 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)

The Pacers are going to need to get the most out of all their high-class role-player talent if they want to stick in the top 4 of the East and gain whatever playoff advantage that conveys them. Victor Oladipo may have been a little overrated (and getting even more so now that he’s dead), but…

Ian Clark 17 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)

I love how I can say the following sentence with a straight face: “Ian Clark buried the Lakers in the fourth quarter”. That’s just a great sentence, not only for the sayer of the sentence, but the reader of the sentence as well. It’s also a great sentence because it’s a true sentence: Ian Clark…

Jae Crowder 22 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)

Man, for a second there it looked like Jae Crowder and… Dorian Finney-Smith??? (let me check I may be misremembering nope it was DFS) were going to throw down right there on the court. But then it was a whole lot of nothing. Come on. We know how hard-edged Crowder is, how he always looks…

Ricky Rubio 25 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)

Here’s the deal: if I was coaching kids’ basketball, and one of the kids had as flat an arc on his jumpshot as Ricky Rubio does, I would, to the detriment of all the other kids, put all of my coaching effort into getting that kid to shoot the ball correctly. Nobody deserves to live…

Taj Gibson 20 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)

After setting a season-high in points last game with nineteen, Taj “Mahal” Gibson set another season-high with twenty points in this game. If he can continue incrementing his point totals by one point every game, he should be scoring around forty points per game by the end of the season. Is anybody else really surprised…
