Terrence Ross 23 Points Full Highlights (3/2/1019)

Since I’m pretty much out of things to say about Terrence Ross, instead I’ll say some things about the guy who he just reminded me of: Terrence Williams. What happened to that dude anyway? He’s only 31 years old right now, so he should still be in the league, but he hasn’t played in the…

Jevon Carter 15 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2019)

Jevon Carter surprised a lot of people (including myself, since I didn’t know who he was or that he was on a roster) with his NBA debut in December where he scored eleven points. After that game, Grizzlies fans likely had visions of a legitimate backup PG for Mike Conley, and I had visions of…

Frank Jackson 16 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2019)

Yet another game without a block for Frank Jackson. That makes 49 out of 50 where he has not rejected a shot. Just out of curiosity, I checked out the 1 block he has on the season, and you know what? I’m not sure he even touched Zach LaVine’s fadeaway back in early February, because…

Reggie Jackson 24 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2019)

It’s always sad when a player dominates another team so thoroughly that they don’t even get a chance to score the full amount of points their dominant play would imply. Reggie Jackson needed only 21 minutes to score these 24 points (Brandon Knight how’s my ass taste), and by the time he was done the…

Rudy Gay 22 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2019)

I need to watch more Spurs games. They haven’t forgotten the art of the midrange jumpers. I don’t have the stats in front of me, but I’m pretty sure I looked it up and remember seeing that LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan are in the top five of midrange shooting. Add in Rudy Gay, who…

Luka Doncic 22 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2019)

I was promised lobs from Luka Doncic to Dirk Nowitzki. Am the only one who remembers Doncic’s first interview after he got drafted where he said “Me and Dirk, it’s going to be Lob City”? I can’t find the clip of him saying it on YouTube, but that’s probably because his crack team of media…

Brandon Ingram 25 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2019)

The buckets continue for Brandon “Brandumb Thingram” “Braindead Ingrandma” Ingram. This should be a familiar sight for Lakers fans: Ingram beasting and feasting after the All-Star break while the Lakers keep losing games. The only difference this year compared with the last two years is that there is a guy named LeBron James sulking around…

Brook Lopez 16 Points/7 Blocks Full Highlights (3/2/2019)

With Malcolm Brogdon and Eric Bledsoe out, coach Budenholzer went with the biggest starting lineup I have ever seen: Middleton Antetokounmpo Mirotic Ilyasova Lopez. Who needs traditional guards when you can just play a bunch of huge dudes and stop the opposing team from ever scoring? Because that’s how the start of this game went:…

Darren Collison 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/2/2019)

Darren Collison has been in the NBA for 10 years now, a length of time sometimes termed a “decade”. 10 whole years of SOLID as HECK point guard play. Nothing really notable except for his rookie season where he replaced an injured (sound familiar?) Chris Paul and turned into a beast, but eminently solid. I…

Mike Scott 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/2/2019)

It wasn’t too long ago that Mike Scott was hanging out on the fringiest fringes of the NBA. His final year in Atlanta, he was plagued by some sort of injury, only a year after being plagued by some sort of drug-related legal issue (a guy with emoji tattoos is a good candidate to have…
