You know, things just seemed a lot more fun with Trey Burke when he was on the Knicks. Maybe he’s been actually better for the Mavericks, but I don’t care about that. I care about FUN, and his ultra-fun redemption story in New York where he looked and played like Allen Iverson reincarnated took a…

Read MoreAl-Farouq Aminu 23 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
This is a season-high for Al-Farouq Aminu. Didn’t this guy used to be good? You can argue that he’s still good, but I feel like there was a time, a few years ago, where 23 points was not an especially notable performance for him. And now it’s a season high? Perhaps I, affected severely by…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 22 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
In the past, I have revered and cherished the unforgettable Andre Miller/JaVale McGee lob connection. Something about being in the formative years of my NBA fandom, watching a slow old man throw endless alley-oops to a bouncy young dude, was life-altering for me. So it is with great regret that I have come to the…
Read MoreAlex Caruso 18 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Alex Caruso was either inactive or a DNP for all but 6 of the Lakers’ first 60 games. While Rajon Rondo padded his stats and caused untold damage to the team (even LeBron couldn’t salvage lineups with Rondo in them), Caruso either balled out in the G-League or sat on the bench and clapped politely….
Read MoreMikal Bridges 19 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
There is only more game left for the Suns. This means different things for different people. Suns fans will be a mix of elated (because they don’t have to waste their time watching the Suns anymore) and saddened (because watching the Suns is the only thing that gives their life purpose). For Suns players, it…
Read MoreJamal Crawford 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Jamal Crawford is sending a message right now. And that message is “please sign me to a contract”. Other, ancillary messages include “I really want to keep playing basketball”, “My life will become meaningless without the day-to-day structure provided by the NBA”, and “I’m a good veteran presence for a rebuilding team, please, I’m begging…
Read MoreGeorges Niang Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Georges “Niang Cat” Niang has not had a productive career up until this point. His first two years in the league, the most he ever scored in a single game was five. He was the very definition of a fringe NBA player, which makes sense given that he was picked near the end of the…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 32 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Just in case there are people out there who don’t believe that contract-year pushes are a real thing, I present to you: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s numbers in the past few weeks. In the games that have happened since March 19th, he has scored 35, 7, 16, 29, 7, 25, 19, 23, 7, 25, and 32 points….
Read MoreElfrid Payton 26 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Magic fans know full well the phenomenon of “March Elfrid”, which is when the season hits the month of March and Elfrid Payton starts putting up huge numbers on a regular basis. He can be a middling PG the whole year, but when the calendar flips over to the third month, it doesn’t matter. It’s…
