Dwight Powell 20 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2019)

Just letting Kristaps Porzingis know, if he’s planning to come into next season and start taking minutes from Dwight Powell, he’d be well served to stop those plans and instead plan to take minutes from other players. Because no one messes with Powell’s minutes on my watch and gets away with it. They’re already too…

Damyean Dotson 18 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2019)

OFFICIAL PLAYERS WHOSE NICKNAME COULD BE “DOUBLE D” POWER RANKINGS 1. DeMar DeRozan 2. Dewayne Dedmon 3. Damyean Dotson 4. Donte DiVincenzo POWER GAP 5. Deyonta Davis SECOND POWER GAP, BIGGER THAN THE FIRST 25. Duje Dukan

Paul Millsap 23 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2019)

I will, eventually, have to reconsider my opinion that Paul Millsap low-key ruined the Nuggets when he signed there. There are several arguments that seem to disprove my assertion, one of them being that the Nuggets are one of the best teams in the league. But who knows how good they would be if they…

Emmanuel Mudiay 21 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2019)

Emmanuel Mudiay laughs at your pathetic attempts to take his minutes. Ron Baker? Traded, then injured. Trey Burke? Traded due to being a huge bust. Frank Ntilikina? Can’t make a shot, then injured. John Jenkins? LMAO. Courtney Lee? How about you try making a layup in the finals, scrub. Kadeem Allen? Can’t even get on…

Montrezl Harrell 22 Points/3 Blocks/1 Three Full Highlights (3/12/2019)

Going into this game, I was pretty sure that one or both of Montrezl Harrell and Jusuf Nurkic was going to leave the arena in a bodybag. That’s a center matchup with simply way too much beefed-out intensity, and you know neither of those dudes is ever going to back down. They’re not really the…

Cameron Reynolds 12 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2019)

Cameron Reynolds has, by my count, only a few days left on his second 10-day contract with the Timberwolves. He was certainly aware of that fact (if I was an NBAer on a 10-day, I’d be counting down the days carefully and when they got down to one I’d burst into the GM’s office and…

Derrick White 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/12/2019)

It doesn’t seem like a coincidence that the Spurs are winning again now that Derrick White is back. They lost 6 of the 7 games that he missed, and almost as soon as he returned, they’ve gone on a 6-game winning streak. By definition, the fact that winning is happing again in San Antonio means…

Jalen Brunson Career High 34 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2019)

In an alternate universe, this game represents a symbolic passing of the torch. After a short run of exciting play culminating in a disastrous performance against the Spurs, Luka Doncic gets into his own head way too deep and is never the same, eventually retiring after three years to become a hermit in Iceland, but…

Elfrid Payton Triple Double 14 Pts/15 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (3/12/2019)

Unlike Elfrid Payton’s triple-double last game, which was an ILLEGITIMATELY-GOTTEN triple-double, the triple-double he got in this game was totally legit. Before you get all indignant on me, please extend me the courtesy of allowing me to explain myself. Payton’s last triple-double only happened because he passed to Darius Miller with five seconds left and…

Robin Lopez 20 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2019)

The Chicago Bulls commentary team seems to be convinced that the Bulls don’t go to Robin Lopez enough for scoring purposes. After compiling enough recent Fropez videos, I have to say that I agree with them. Every time I see Fropez, he’s dominating defenders with his imposing size and deliberate moves. His hook shot is…
