Unlike B.J. Johnson, we have seen Jaylen Adams before. A lot of him, actually, he had played around 100 minutes before last night. Non-Hawks fans may not have seen him actually on the court, and I can’t remember if I have or not, but Hawks fans certainly know all about this dude. My first impression:…

Jeremy Lamb 23 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
Jeremy Lamb is, clearly, the second banana, banana number two if you will, in Charlotte. Kemba Walker is far and away the first banana when it comes to putting the ball in the hole. Lamb is averaging a full 10 points less than Kemba, but he’s still clearly the second banana because only two other…
Read MoreAvery Bradley 27 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
I still haven’t quite figured out what the Grizzlies’ endgame was when they traded JaMychal Green and Garrett Temple for Avery Bradley. There’s three options: they did the trade for financial reasons, they did the trade for basketball reasons, or they did the trade for no reason at all. Money-wise, the Grizzlies saved roughly three…
Read MoreEric Gordon 32 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
I mentioned it before in my previous Eric Gordon video description and I’ll mention it again: there is a serious disconnect between the amount of three-pointers that Gordon takes and how good he is at said three-pointers. He is currently fifth in the league at three-point attempts per game (at 8.6, losing out only to…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 26 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
Cody Zeller is lucky that Jusuf Nurkic was in a good mood when the former elbowed the latter in the jaw/face area while boxing out for a rebound. If the two of them had any amount of animosity between them, perhaps as a result of some trash talk earlier in the game, Zeller would have…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 19 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
Luke Kennard’s getting confident with this three-point stroke, to the point where he’s willing to do stepbacks to get himself open for the shots he wants. Maybe I just have a selective memory, but I don’t think that Kennard was doing this kind of stuff last season or even early this season. It’s easy to…
Read MoreJabari Parker 22 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
The clash between the Wizards and the Timberwolves might not have drawn a lot of eyeballs outside of the respective TV markets of Washington DC and Minnesota, but it was a game fraught with storylines simply because of all the similarities the two teams share: -Both were expected to make the playoffs, but are on…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
Landry “Shamwow” Shamet really lived up to his nickname in the first quarter of this one. Six three-pointers in the period! I wouldn’t say that my BHL (Blood-Hype Level) reach critically dangerous levels at any point, but it was definitely elevated to the point where I had to lie down in a dark room with…
Read MoreB.J. Johnson 11 Points Hawks Debut Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
Normally when a 10-dayer makes a debut with a team, it’s just a few minutes in garbage time. There are exceptions to this (I am eternally thankful to Isaiah Canaan for coming right in and hitting a few threes while the Bucks were sucking in his debut, but now he’s gone), and B.J. Johnson is…
Read MoreRodney Hood 27 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
Rodney Hood scored all 27 of his points in the final fourteen and a half minutes of this game. He was basically scoring two points per minute for the entire time he was out there. That’s pretty nuts. I’m sure Stotts put him out there near the end of the third quarter just to see…
