Bam Adebayo 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
Bam Adebayo flashed a lot of ball-handling/play-making abilities in Summer League this year. He’s one of those players who’s probably way too good to be playing in those exhibition games, so he took the time to try and add some skills to his game. It made for an impressive SL display, and what do you…
Read MoreLangston Galloway 21 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
Langston Galloway, after this 6-for-6 performance from deep, over a span of three games has now hit 12 consecutive threes without a miss. That may not sound like a whole heck of a lot, but let me tell you: it is. The Pistons commentators were quick to tell us that that falls one short of…
Read MoreMiles Bridges 15 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
I hope that Miles Bridges did okay in the dunk contest. I didn’t watch it (and I’m going to keep reminding you of that fact until some acknowledges that they’re impressed by my willful shunning of the event), so I don’t know what types of dunks he even did. But he does strike me as…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 20 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
Is Jarrett Allen’s current fro the best NBA fro of the decade? That thing is seriously amazing. It makes him look like a 70’s funk diva. It got dented a little bit when Taurean Prince jumped over it, but it recovered by the end of this game to its usual glorious state. A perfect sphere…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
Despite having fewer wins than losses, that Brooklyn Nets are a good shot to make the playoffs this year. The fact that a sub-.500 team is making the playoffs should be no surprise to anyone; in the (L)Eastern Conference, it’s an annual tradition. The fact that it’s the Nets as currently constructed making the playoffs,…
Read MoreDeandre Ayton 21 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
My ability to write a coherent video description right now is severely compromised by the fact that I have a coupon sitting right in front of me which entitles me to a buy-one-get-one-free breakfast sandwich at a local fast food establishment. The power which that coupon confers to me is magnificent and intoxicating. To imagine…
Read MoreBobby Portis 21 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
Bobby “God Dang It Bobby” Portis has been a nice pickup for the ‘Zards. I don’t know what the point of a good pickup would be for that team right now, since they should be tanking for R.J. Barrett, but if their short-term and misguided goal is to make the playoffs (a goal which is…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 27 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
Trevor Ariza takes a lot of threes; he’s jacking them up at a career-high clip for the ‘Zards. But this is the first game this season where he makes a lot of threes. 6 being the cutoff for “a lot” from “not a lot”. I briefly wondered if this was a career-high in makes from…
Read MoreKeita Bates-Diop 12 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
I don’t know anything about Keita Bates-Diop except that I seem to remember him being considered a steal in the second round of the draft for the Timberwolves. My knowledge of the draft, aside from the top 10 or so guys, is based entirely on what the good people at ESPN tell me during their…
