Nikola Jokic 36 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (2/26/2019)

Nikola Jokic had like five whole minutes with which to get the last rebound he needed for a triple-double. For some of that time, he didn’t have the last assist, so maybe the urgency wasn’t quite there because of that, but still. That’s a lot of time, and it was only one rebound. Rebounds are…

Emmanuel Mudiay 19 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2019)

Well, the Knicks won this game, which means they are OFFICIALLY on their second winning streak of the season. That’s good news for fans who watch Knicks games hoping for well-played basketball resulting in a W, but bad news for fans who want to tank so that KD and Kyrie have a budding superstar to…

Jonathan Isaac 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/26/2019)

This is about the point of the season where I start struggling to come up with original description material, especially for players who constantly earn highlight videos with their strong play. Jonathan Isaac is one such player. He has gotten a highlight video for six of his last seven games, or, at least, he deserved…

Mitchell Robinson 17 Points/6 Blocks Full Highlights (2/26/2019)

Is there a stat for blocked three-pointers? The stat for blocked shots in general, from any distance, is comically easy to track down. Even my impatient, unintelligent self can find that stat with only minimal difficulty. But is there any place that keeps track of the distance of the blocked shot? I only ask this…

Henry Ellenson 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/26/2019)

I would totally bet money that one of Henry Ellenson’s childhood dreams growing up was that he would be the recipient of a Mike Breen “BANG!” one day. A lot of kids have run-of-the-mill fantasies about making the winning shot in the finals, or doing a windmill slam dunk in front of the girl they…

Patrick Beverley 17 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/25/2019)

Patrick Beverley was worryingly close to a triple-double in this game, leaving himself just two rebounds and one assist short. It would have been the first triple-double of his career and it probably would have been one of the first videos I made for that night’s slate of games. Instead, he gets relegated to the…

Darren Collison 21 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2019)

Full disclosure: Darren Collison statpads the heck out of the… stats… in the last minute of this game, scoring 7 of his 21 during foulball. Fuller disclosure: He once, like, punched his girlfriend or something but no one even cares/remembers. Fullest disclosure of ultimate disclosurement: I’ve said this before, but this video is for sure…

Tyus Jones 16 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/25/2019)

I am starting to think a little bit that maybe Ricky Rubio’s assist totals were inflated during the time he was playing with Karl-Anthony Towns. I’ve always known that the Rubio/KAT combo was devastating, but I thought it was more a result of their chemistry rather than KAT being an unstoppable bucket-getting beast. I’m thinking…

Malcolm Brogdon 22 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2019)

When people say “Malcolm Brogdon averages 16 points per game”, they don’t mean that he averages 16 points per game. They mean that literally every game he’s going to go out and score 16 points. No more, no less. I wish I was exaggerating (I guess I am a little bit), because his incredible scoring…

Dwight Powell 24 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2019)

It’s good to see that Dwight Powell is building some chemistry with Luka Doncic. Or maybe it’s more the other way around, with Doncic building the chemistry with Powell, since Powell is more of a chemistry receiver than a chemistry creator. In any case, it’s clear that whatever marginal success that the Mavericks were going…
