Collin Sexton 21 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2019)

My motivation to write anything interesting or informative for this video description is at an all-time low. Collin Sexton has had so many good games recently (each one of them deserving a highlight video from yours truly) that the well of talking points for these descriptions has run entirely dry. You can tell this is…

Emmanuel Mudiay 24 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2019)

I’m really sad right now because I just saw the clip where Emmanuel Mudiay asks to do a jersey swap with Dwyane Wade and Wade says no even though Wade is still wearing the jersey in question. I know it shouldn’t make me sad but it destroyed me. Mudiay just wanted to make a meaningful…

Serge Ibaka 23 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2019)

I don’t get the sense that Raptors fans have been very happy with Serge Ibaka lately. I won’t pretend to know why that would be (he hasn’t been scoring a whole ton lately, I will say), but I will pretent know that fanbases will always find something to complain about. Doesn’t matter if the team…

Montrezl Harrell 23 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (3/30/2019)

Montrezl Harrell is a beast. You knew this, he knew this, everyone already knew this. I don’t know what he’d have to do to have his beast card revoked, but it would have to be something supremely wimpy like pulling a heliflopter (Chris Paul tried to have the footage deleted but I have spare copies…

JaMychal Green 18 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2019)

If JaMychal Green was hoping for some relevancy after departing Memphis (not really a relevant city unless you love barbeque or getting murdered) for Los Angeles (a relevant city any way you slice it), he was being optimistic. He might call LA home now, but the world as a whole still has no care left…

Darren Collison 24 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/30/2019)

The Pacers keep losing. They had that gigantic win against Denver, but other than that, it’s been nothing but a torrent of L’s heading their way. That’s, uh, not what you want heading into the ‘offs (that’s street slang for “playoffs”). Especially if your first round opponent is going to be the Celtics. The Celtics…

Jodie Meeks 14 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2019)

It wasn’t way too long ago that Jodie Meeks was scoring more points than this on a near-nightly basis with the Lakers. During the 2013-14 season (a time I consider the “Chris Kaman Era” of Lakers basketball) he averaged almost 16 per game on 46 percent shooting. The best season of his career, and as…

Fred VanVleet 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/30/2019)

Instead of spending this description dissing Rockford, Illinois (the home town of Fred VanVleet) like I usually do whenever I have the chance, let’s talk about the good things that Rockford has to offer: -They produced Fred VanVleet, who is really neato. -Only a short drive from Wisconsin which is the best state in the…

Reggie Jackson 28 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/30/2019)

It took this Pistons a little over seven minutes before they scored their first basket of the game, a cruddy Reggie Jackson pullup jimbo. I know it sucks to find out your star player, in this case Blake Griffin, isn’t playing right before the game, but it shouldn’t mess you up enough to cause you…

Jonah Bolden 19 Points/5 Threes/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/30/2019)

The 76ers are a different team when Joel Embiid isn’t standing around inhaling possessions like some sort of insatiable possessions vacuum. Slightly worse, and definitely different. Replacing him with Jonah Bolden has several implications, but one of the major ones is that it means Jimmy Butler gets to have the ball more often, which is…
