With Malcolm Brogdon and Eric Bledsoe out, coach Budenholzer went with the biggest starting lineup I have ever seen: Middleton Antetokounmpo Mirotic Ilyasova Lopez. Who needs traditional guards when you can just play a bunch of huge dudes and stop the opposing team from ever scoring? Because that’s how the start of this game went:…

Darren Collison 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
Darren Collison has been in the NBA for 10 years now, a length of time sometimes termed a “decade”. 10 whole years of SOLID as HECK point guard play. Nothing really notable except for his rookie season where he replaced an injured (sound familiar?) Chris Paul and turned into a beast, but eminently solid. I…
Read MoreMike Scott 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
It wasn’t too long ago that Mike Scott was hanging out on the fringiest fringes of the NBA. His final year in Atlanta, he was plagued by some sort of injury, only a year after being plagued by some sort of drug-related legal issue (a guy with emoji tattoos is a good candidate to have…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 23 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
The Bucks gave up a 19-2 run in the fourth quarter of this game and ended up blowing a huge lead to lose by four, but I am insulated from the negative effects of the loss by the fact that I didn’t watch any of the second half. I was too busy making highlight videos….
Read MoreJaVale McGee 21 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
You can say what you want about the Lakers’ loss to the lowly Suns, which leaves the team having lost four of their last five, but if you happen to say something along the lines of “it was JaVale McGee’s fault that the Lakers lost,” then you’re wrong. Here’s the list of people and factors…
Read MoreBruno Caboclo 9 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
OFFICIAL REASONS TO MAKE THIS VIDEO POWER RANKINGS: 1. Bruno Caboclo is a very popular player who will drive views to my channel. 2. Six assists is not only a career high in that stat for Caboclo, but it is twice as many assists as he had ever gotten in a game before. This is…
Read MoreDeandre Ayton 26 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
I’m afraid that, among all the hullabaloo surrounding the NBA’s pair of high-profile rookies, Luka Doncic and Trae Young, the accomplishments of Deandre “The Bahamaniac” Ayton are getting lost. Doncic has been good all year long, and Young recently has come on strong to reinvigorate the previously-stalled ROTY of the Year talks, but nobody remembers…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 20 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
Watching Jonas Valanciunas execute moves in the low post is cool, but it’s also a somewhat agonizing experience because all it does is remind me how Donatas Motiejunas isn’t even in the league right now. No offence to Valanciunas, but Motiejunas’ post moves were a Picasso painting compared to Valanciunas’ preschool fingerpaintings. To be fair,…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 25 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
Kelly Olynyk slipped the red vinyl record out of its sleeve and reverently placed it on his new, never-used turntable. As he did this, many emotions flooded his mind: anticipation, nostalgia, even a little bit of fear. For the first time in many years, he was about to listen to the first and only recorded…
Read MoreDerrick Jones 18 Points/1 Block Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
The Heat lost a little something while Derrick Jones Jr. was out with injury. And that little something was actually a big something: fun. Jones simply offers way more FPG (funs per game) than any of the other Heat players, and it’s not even close. I often use the phrase “and it’s not even close”…
