Jerryd Bayless 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/29/2019)

Has Jerryd Bayless always been this… pretty? Look at those eyes. Look at that jawline. Look at that stubble. Look at those pouty lips. The way he’s looking at me in the thumbnail, it’s like he’s about to whisper into my ear “Dee Tee Bee… I want you to make a different kind of highlight…

Johnathan Williams 13 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2019)

I hadn’t noticed until just now that Johnathan Williams has a triangle for a beard. Nice! Geometric shapes are an underappreciated form of self expression. It would be cooler if he could somehow make a tetrahedron out of a goatee, somehow make the edges really sharp (otherwise it would just a be a slightly angular…

Miles Bridges 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/29/2019)

We are still waiting for the real breakout game from Miles Bridges. 17 points doesn’t seem like a lot for him, because he’s developed a reputation (at least in my eyes) as an extremely solid rookie contributor for a playoff-esque-ish-like team. But can you believe it’s his second highest point total of the season? And…

Bojan Bogdanovic 27 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2019)

OFFICIAL BOJAN BOGDANOVIC BLOCK TOTAL WATCH UPDATE: Bojan Bogdanovic has blocked 0 shots on the season, a change of 0 from the last update. THIS CONCLUDES THE OFFICIAL BOJAN BOGDANOVIC BLOCK TOTAL WATCH UPDATE. STAY TUNED FOR FUTURE UPDATES. Reality seems to be catching up to the Pacers, who have now lost 6 of their…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 25 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2019)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is playing his way into another contract. He was going to get one anyway, obviously, because it’s not like he’s a bad player or anything. I guess what I mean is that he’s playing his way into a bigger contract. Some GM is going to look at his scattered 20-burgers and recent 35-burger…

Troy Brown 15 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2019)

The ‘Zards are doing their best to follow normal NBA protocol for the end of the season as a non-playoff team: rest all their veteran talent and try to get as many minutes for their young guys as possible. You know who we didn’t see in this game? Jeff Green. Or Trevor Ariza. Or Wesley…

Dwayne Bacon 21 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2019)

Dwayne “Not Dwyane” Bacon has been sneaking up on that wide-open job of “second option” on the Hornets, and with this, his third-straight twenty-point game, he’s one step closer to taking that job. Now that I think a little bit harder about it, he should just go ahead and take it right now. The Hornets…

Josh Okogie 21 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2019)

Apparently the refs did some things at the end of this game that some people don’t agree with. Also, various members of both the Wolves and the Warriors were screwing up/screwing around during the overtime period, resulting in a game that was almost too chaotic to be enjoyable. I could sit down and watch the…

Joe Ingles 18 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/29/2019)

Joe Ingles AKA Jinglin’ Joe AKA Sloppy Joe AKA Slo-mo Joe AKA Outback LeBron must be a tough player to play against. He doesn’t look like he should be able to school you, but then he does, even though he looks like he should be teaching geography to middle schoolers. And then he talks about…

Bobby Portis 28 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/29/2019)

Bobby Portis is shooting 42% from three with the Wizards on a not-insignificant amount of attempts (four per game). You know what that means, right? Right? It means that Bobby Portis no longer a theoretical stretch four. He is a LEGIT stretch four. Legitly legit. Unlike a lot of so-called “stretch fours”, who only are…
