Shai “The Gilge Pump” Gilgeous-Alexander continues to play a solid role for a solid Clippers team. How does the phrase “Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: playoff starter” sound to you? It should sound pretty darn good. I’m reading that phrase and it’s making me happy. Legitimately. I think. Iy could also just be me feeling the affects of…

Frank Jackson 16 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
I really appreciate basketball-reference for all the good work they do, but they’re really confusing me by calling Frank Jackson a “point guard” on his profile page. Not even “point guard and shooting guard”. Just “point guard”. Yet, when I make highlights for this guy, in no way does it seem like he’s playing as…
Read MoreJustise Winslow 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
I have to confess with a heavy heart that Justise Winslow’s thorough domination of the Bucks in the first half caused me to discontinue viewing the game. I was getting MAD watching it. Like, literally, actually angry. I thought at first I might be “hangry”, but I was still mad even after I ate, and…
Read MoreKadeem Allen 16 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
I was kinda wondering what had happened to Kadeem Allen. He had a really nice stretch of games at the beginning of February culminating in some double-digit scores and ultra-culminating in a 25-burger. But then I wasn’t seeing him in the boxscores anymore, so I just assumed that despite his good play the Knicks coaching…
Read MoreDamyean Dotson 21 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
Damyean Dotson, in my utterly biased view as a creator of highlights (and not lowlights), has looked pretty good for the Knicks this season. There are definitely things he can improve on, but when I see a guy who can shoot jumpers coming off screens, I know that that player is for real. Because if…
Read MoreRobin Lopez 22 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
I have to give a lot of credit to Robin Lopez for refining his footwork and turning into an unstoppable spinning hook shot machine these last few weeks. He’s just nailing that pivot foot to the floor, doing a couple ballerina twirls (I believe the technical term is “pirouette”), and throwing that thing in the…
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 12 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
Jakob “Pink Mamba” Poeltl looks like he was enjoying the Spurs’ recent off days a little too much. I get that in Austria people don’t have to worry as much about sunburn because they only have one season, which is winter (don’t believe the lies peddled by “The Sound of Music”), and most people don’t…
Read MoreMontrezl Harrell 26 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
Montrezl Harrell is so damn good, man. The contrast with Cristiano Felicio in this game was startling. How can two players, equally talented (shhhhh, I’m trying to make a point here just roll with it), have such different impacts on the game? In fairness to Felicio, it’s a rare man who is gifted with the…
Read MoreAlex Caruso 16 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
Just as I resolutely refused to append the words “Career High” to the title of my most recent Alex Caruso highlight video (which featured him scoring sixteen points), so do I refuse to append such words to the title of this video (which also features him scoring sixteen points). My previous reasoning holds true: as…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 17 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
Eleven games this year, sixteen last year, nineteen the year before that. That’s how many times Enes Kanter has scored more than seventeen. When you look at his entire body of work as an NBA player, seventeen points in a game is nothing. Just absolutely nothing. So why did I make this highlight video? Two…
