My efforts to get people hyped for Cheick “Discount Diallo Cheick” Diallo, up until this point, have been unsuccessful. But what if I told you that he just had a performance where he TOOK OVER the GAME in the FOURTH QUARTER, scoring FIFTEEN points and WINNING his TEAM the GAME? And what if I told…

E’Twaun Moore 20 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)
Last season, E’Twaun Moore was 51st in the league in made field goals. That doesn’t seem very high on the list, but when you consider that there’s just thirty teams in the league and many of them have multiple star players, it starts looking like a more impressive stat. Then you look at the players…
Read MoreMalcolm Brogdon 21 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)
Malcolm Brogdon is so good. SO GOOD. Hands off, other teams. He’s mine. He’s going to be on the Bucks forever. He’s like the Scottie Pippen and Giannis is the Michael Jordan. I am being totally serious right now. That’s how good his intangibles are. He brings sick finishing (he never misses layups, never EVER,…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 22 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)
I’m looking at the list right now, and I’m thinking Jeremy Lamb might be the most anonymous NBA player to be averaging 15 points per game this year. There are 71 such players; the only other ones who might be close are… Collin Sexton? He’s a rookie, so people should know about him. Malcolm Brogdon?…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 15 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)
Frank Kaminsky isn’t a great NBA player, but does he fall into the category of “unplayably bad”? I don’t think so. Hornets fans are free to disagree with me, because they presumably have watched him play (or not play, as has been the case recently) for the whole season, but my opinion is that a…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 31 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)
It’s that time of year again. The All-Star festivities have come and gone, and with their departure Brandon Ingram can begin his annual post-All-Star-break surge. His point totals in those past five games: 27, 29, 32, 23, and 31. Those are some nice numbers. Those are the kind of numbers you can point to and…
Read MoreHarry Giles 15 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)
Who else is getting hyped for that SpaceX launch coming up? I’m gonna have to go to bed before the launch happens, but you can bet to heck and back that my dreams are gonna be totally sweet tonight. I’ll be dreaming about getting strapped into the Mars Module as mankind cheers me on. I’ll…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 20 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)
After scoring seventeen and fifteen points in his first two games with the Clippers, it seemed like destiny that Landry “Shamwow” Shamet would continue to tread the path laid down by J.J. Redick in Los Angeles. But his production suffered in subsequent games, and, after five games of scoring in the single-digits, Shamwow is just…
Read MoreAlex Len 24 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)
One could make a roundabout argument that Alex “Oleksiy” Len’s poor free-throw shooting in this game (four of nine) cost the Hawks the game (not to mention his dumb foul on Porter near the end of regulation). But you could also argue that Len’s timely buckets in several of the overtime periods allowed the Hawks…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 31 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)
I’m still coming down off the high of Trae Young’s 49-point game, but I’m going to try to write something coherent here for Lauri Markkanen, who had a very good game in his own right, AND got the victory (although, like Porter, he mostly disappeared during the overtime periods except for the fourth and final…
