Pascal Siakam 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

Last night was the much anticipated battle between Thon Maker and the player Thon Maker would be if he was good at basketball. No, not Jeremy Lin. Come on bro. Pascal Siakam. Jeeze. Do you need everything handed to you on a silver platter? That was the lobbiest softball ever and you took a big…

Mitchell Robinson 16 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

I am still waiting on a double-digit block game from Mitchell Robinson. Relatedly, I am also still waiting on a double-digit scoring game from Duncan Robinson. But that’s an issue for another day. Robinson already tries to block literally everything that he thinks he can reach, so it’s not like he isn’t trying hard enough…

Noah Vonleh 17 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

A quick glance at Noah Vonleh’s game logs shows his last two games to be the best two-game scoring stretch of his career. 16 points last game, 17 points this game, one point better than when he scored 10 then 22 earlier this year. What I’m trying to get at here is that this is…

Frank Kaminsky 18 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

I’m sitting here staring at this “buy one large pizza get one free” coupon and thinking “can I eat two whole large pizzas by myself?”. Mind you, this is one of those places where the larges are gigantic, not wimpy Pizza Hut-style larges, because they don’t even have an extra large size. So the answer…

Delon Wright 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

The Raptor’s old “bench mob”, who were so fondly looked upon last season, has now be broken up and distributed piecemeal around the rest of the league. Delon Wright and C.J. Miles are in Memphis, Jakob Poeltl is in San Antonio, and Pascal Siakam is the starter and no longer qualifies for inclusion in a…

Antonio Blakeney 17 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

It’s been a long time since Antonio Blakeney did anything of note. The season started with Blakeney getting a solid fifteen to twenty minutes per game, the perfect amount of time for him to occasionally generate a highlight-worthy statline. But his shoot-first, shoot-second, shoot-third, pass-fourth style of play must have worn thin the patience of…

Jaylen Adams 14 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

Unlike B.J. Johnson, we have seen Jaylen Adams before. A lot of him, actually, he had played around 100 minutes before last night. Non-Hawks fans may not have seen him actually on the court, and I can’t remember if I have or not, but Hawks fans certainly know all about this dude. My first impression:…

Jeremy Lamb 23 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

Jeremy Lamb is, clearly, the second banana, banana number two if you will, in Charlotte. Kemba Walker is far and away the first banana when it comes to putting the ball in the hole. Lamb is averaging a full 10 points less than Kemba, but he’s still clearly the second banana because only two other…

Avery Bradley 27 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

I still haven’t quite figured out what the Grizzlies’ endgame was when they traded JaMychal Green and Garrett Temple for Avery Bradley. There’s three options: they did the trade for financial reasons, they did the trade for basketball reasons, or they did the trade for no reason at all. Money-wise, the Grizzlies saved roughly three…

Eric Gordon 32 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

I mentioned it before in my previous Eric Gordon video description and I’ll mention it again: there is a serious disconnect between the amount of three-pointers that Gordon takes and how good he is at said three-pointers. He is currently fifth in the league at three-point attempts per game (at 8.6, losing out only to…
