Emmanuel Mudiay certainly went into this game wiht one thing on his mind: getting sweet, succulent REVENGE on the Denver Nuggets, the team that drafted him and then threw him to the gutter like a bag of moldy tangerines. This burning desire of Mudiay’s to have a REVENGE GAME against the Nuggs is probably what…

Jerami Grant 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
Jerami Grant has, according to the almighty stat gods that bless us with their gifts at basketball-reference, more Win Shares than Russell Westbrook this season. Now, I like hating on Chucksell Statpadbrook as much as anybody, but that’s messed up. Win Shares, just like all other advanced stats, are not meant to be taken singularly,…
Read MoreDanny Green 19 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
Danny Green is making more threes than ever before, on a better percentage than ever before. All those years with the Spurs where he was one of the league’s premiere three-point threats? Those years look like GARBAGE now. Sorry, Popovich. You may have unlocked the secret power of the corner three, but your protege, your…
Read MoreCollin Sexton 20 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
Imagine being Collin Sexton: you have 20 points early-ish in the third quarter, then you get subbed out for Nik Stauskas. You are forced to pretend to be happy, to clap and cheer for him with a smile while raging on the inside. You don’t get to come back into the game until there are…
Read MoreD.J. Augustin 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
D.J. Augustin has been on the same team for a long time now. He started his career off with a four-year stretch with the Bobcats, but then over the next four years he played with 6 different teams. By the end of that, I had an annual “Where Will D.J. Augustin Get Traded To” trade-deadline-day…
Read MoreJustin Holiday 22 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
The Grizzlies’ trade for Justin Holiday in early January, their attempt to make a “playoff push”, didn’t really work out. The playoffs were not pushed. Not even close. Acquiring him kicked off a stretch where they won 2 out of 16 games, pushing them from “not really in the playoff picture but maybe” to “where’s…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 26 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
Being the backup PG to Russell Westbrook has to be one of the worst gigs in the NBA, second only to being a starter on a Thibodeau-coached team. Even worse if you are the backup PG to Russell Westbrook even though you averaged 20 points per game as a starter the year before. Is it…
Read MorePascal Siakam 25 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
Pascal Siakam attempted only one shot in the fourth quarter of this close loss to the Thunder. It didn’t go in, but that’s not really the point. The point is that the Raptors have this dude, this Siakam, this MIP Improved Player candidate, and they ignored him in a tight game in favor of Kawhi…
Read MoreJoe Harris 26 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
I haven’t had a chance to congratulate Joe Harris on his exciting three-point contest victory during All-Star weekend. He’s been too busy enjoying the perks of being a three-point champion (hot women, international fame, money, etc.) to have a performance worthy of my channel. And now it’s been so long, I can’t really remember the…
Read MoreJaVale McGee Career High 33 Points/20 Rebounds/6 Blocks Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
JaVale McGee sat cross-legged on the locker room floor, a screwdriver in one hand, a soldering iron in the other, looking confused. “JaVale, what the heck are you doing?” LeBron James said as he walked into the room, trying and failing to contain his exasperation towards his immature, scatter-brained teammate. “Science fair project?” Looking up…
