In my opinion (which is worth a whole heck of a lot), Trevor Ariza didn’t get enough heat for straight-up quitting on the Suns. They’re the ones who paid him a ton of money, and then he gets all sulky because they weren’t winning enough games? What did he expect? Did he buy the line…

Ish Smith 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
I was on the fence about doing this video, and it’s a good thing I got off on the right side of the fence, because this is a surprisingly sick highlights package. Why didn’t Pistons fans tell me that Ish Smith had such an exciting performance? He was igniting the crowd (and the Timberwolves) every…
Read MoreMoritz Wagner 11 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
Moritz “Der Götterdämmerung” Wagner seems to be drawing the ire of various Lakers players. First Lance Stephenson refuses to help him up after pushing him out of the way for a rebound that ended up going out of bounds, then LeBron James snubs his high-five after a turnover? No wonder the chemistry in LA sucks…
Read MoreWill Barton 23 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
It’s safe to say that, according to the national media, nothing occurred in this Lakers/Nuggets matchup other than LeBron passing MJ. I already bemoaned this fact in my last video for Alex Caruso’s career-high 15 points, but allow me to continue bemoaning. Because here’s the deal: Will Barton totally DOMINATED the Lakers in this game,…
Read MoreAlex Caruso 15 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
Lost in the brouhaha about NoDefense “LeBron James Suckballs passing Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring leaderboards (yawn… wake me up when he passes Kareem) is the fact that Alex Caruso just tied his career-high. I can’t tell if 15 points seems low or high for his career-high. On one hand, it’s low because we…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 25 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
I’ve been too nice to players recently. Even players worthy of criticism, worthy of my harshest words, I’ve been handling them with kid-gloves. Is it because Adam Silver said something about how NBA are more lonely and isolated than ever and I don’t want their feeling to get hurt because of the words of some…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 22 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
Kelly Olynyk, for reasons known only to Coach Spoo, played 44 and a half minutes out of a possible 48 in this game. That’s the most minutes he has ever played. He took that time to score 22 points and grab 11 boards; meanwhile, Hassan “Why Do I Have To Watch The Whitest Player Ever…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 20 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
I just realized that Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was recently excised from the Hornets’ rotation in favor of Frank Kaminsky. Previously, I hadn’t bothered to look at whose playing time was affected by Kaminsky’s re-insertion into the lineup. I just assumed it was, like, Bismack Biyombo or Willy Hernangomez or Cody Zeller. I didn’t expect that coach…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 21 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
Luke “The ‘Nard” Kennard is getting unshackled right as the Pistons are putting together a large winning streak. I don’t want to attribute the Pistons’ recent success entirely to The ‘Nard, since there’s a few other things currently going right for the Pistons that most certainly won’t going right for them earlier in the season:…
Read MoreJustin Jackson 18 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
When Justin Jackson got traded from the Kings to the Mavs as part of the earth-shattering Harrison Barnes trade, I’m sure there was a subset of Mavs fans who thought some or all of the following things: -“The Mavs are getting a good young shooting guard to strengthen the bench” -“Justin Jackson could be a…
