With the other Simmons sitting out, Jonathon Simmons did his best impersonation, putting up a 20/7/5 statline that definitely feels like something Ben Simmons would do. The only problem was, he hit way too many threes. Ben still hasn’t hit one, but Jonathon forgot that fact (probably was remembering all the practice footage we’ve seen…

Trae Young 23 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
The end of a great rookie season for Trae Young. Only one player finished with more assists than him in the whole league, some statpadder named Chucksell Statpadbrook. Think about all the great PGs in the league. There’s a lot of them, but Young out-assisted them all. Similarly, only two players finished with more turnovers…
Read MoreTaurean Prince 23 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
Damn, the season is over already? I realize that I didn’t get to make as many highlights for Taurean Prince as I planned, but I don’t think I even posted a single chapter of my upcoming fantasy/sci-fi epic novel “The Taurean Prince”. Last time I checked, Ferland (the protagonist of this tale) was tasked with…
Read MoreMeyers Leonard 19 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2019)
I still don’t see what’s so wrong with Meyers Leonard that he gets big stretches of DNPs. He looks fine to me. The buckets in this video are buckets that any playoff team would desire. If the Blazers really don’t want him, I, on behalf of the Bucks, offer one (1) Thon Maker for him….
Read MoreJake Layman 19 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
Jake Layman ends the season 50th in total dunks made, tied with Pascal Siakam and Kyle Kuzma. That’s pretty good! Looking at the people above him in the list, it’s a lot of bigs who should be getting more dunks, with only a few other small forwards among the names. And most of those players…
Read MoreEdmond Sumner 22 Points/1 Game-Winning Free Throw Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
Look at that thumbnail. Edmond Sumner knows he’s going to make that last free throw to win the game. He KNOWS it. That is the face of a man who has supreme confidence in his free-throw shoot ability. While Trae Young cowered and flinched at every slight movement, Sumner was a stone-faced assassin. Major non-props…
Read MoreJordan Bell 15 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
Jordan Bell recently drew headlines for getting suspended by the Warriors due to “conduct detrimental to the team”. There was a lot of speculation on what the conduct could be before the full story came out. Did he punch out Kevin Durant? Did he punch out Draymond Green? Did he punch out Steve Kerr? Did…
Read MoreTyler Dorsey 18 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2019)
Tyler Dorsey (who is Greek) had a successful tenure with the Grizzlies after being left for dead with the Hawks. Memphis seems to be a good place for role-players to come in and rehab their image; MarShon Brooks came in, averaged 20, and look at him now! He’s out of the league again, but still….
Read MoreDelon Wright Triple Double 13 Pts/11 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
For those keeping score at home, this makes three triple-doubles in the last four games for Delon Wright. He got the first one, thought to himself “that wasn’t so bad, I wonder if I can do it again”, and then did it two more times. No problem! Unfortunately for him, the Grizzlies season is over…
Read MoreMarcus Derrickson 13 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2019)
Marcus “Poor Man’s Charles Barkley” Derrickson: potential Kevin Durant replacement? Durant hasn’t officially left yet, that would be pretty bad form as there is still a lot of playoffs remaining, but it’s never too soon for the Warriors to think about potential replacements. Damn, I can’t wait for him to have his own team again…
