Josh Jackson 35 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/5/2019)

Josh Jackson exists in that hazy, hard-to-define place that remains a scientific enigma, but is also known to be present on every team in the NBA: the border between being part of the YOUNG CORE and not being part of the YOUNG CORE. Like every other player stuck in this unpleasant limbo, Josh Jackson can…

Frank Kaminsky 22 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2019)

Frank Kaminsky is a free-agent this season. I’m guessing he’s probably actually maybe a restricted free-agent or something (maybe), and maybe there’s some Bird Rights thrown in there too (whatever those are), but what I know for sure is that his contract doesn’t have any more years left on it. This is the last one….

Jeremy Lamb 22 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (4/5/2019)

OFFICIAL THINGS THAT JEREMY LAMB HATES POWER RANKINGS: 1. The Toronto Raptors 2. Fans of the Toronto Raptors 3. Players who play for the Toronto Raptors 4. The city of Toronto 5. The sovereign nation of Canada 6. Dinosaurs 7. Losing games 8. Not getting to be the one who takes game-winning three-point attempts 9….

Henry Ellenson 16 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2019)

In this game, Henry Ellenson showed an unexpected inclination to grab the rebound at one end and go coast-to-coast with it. What we see in this video are the times when this venture was successful (it ended in either a made shot or a foul), but there may have been other instances of this during…

Grayson Allen Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2019)

Attention all people who thought that Grayson Allen’s fourteen-point game two days ago was a fluke: you were WRONG and DUMB. Never mind the fact that I was right there with you, holding that same opinion on the flukey nature of Allen’s scoring performance. I’m not the WRONG and DUMB one here. You were WRONG…

Delon Wright Career High Triple-Double 26 Pts/10 Rebs/14 Asts Full HIghlights (4/5/2019)

We’re now squarely in the part of the season where the statlines start getting weird. There’s a ton of teams that are out of the playoffs, and with nothing to play for, they’re going all out with strange lineups and odd minutes distributions. The Grizzlies aren’t going as nuts as some teams (though the Tyler…

Mario Hezonja Triple Double 16 Pts/16 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (4/5/2019)

Mario Hezonja slipped his light-blocking mask over his eyes, hoping to get some sleep on the flight that was going back to New York. With his noise-cancelling headphones playing some chill instrumental beats to drown out the light amount of chatter that was coming from his teammates, he was sure that rest would be coming…

George Hill 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/4/2019)

In the first few months of his Bucks tenure, George Hill was underwhelming me. The underwhelmment was due to a combination of factors, chief among those being that the construction of the roster didn’t really allow for a place where Hill could shine. Sure, he was the backup point guard, a prestigious position on the…

Quinn Cook 18 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2019)

Quinn Cook has looked decent as a scorer both this year and last year. I don’t know if that’s an optical illusion caused by the fact that he plays with multiple All-Stars and therefore has none of the responsibility for the scoring load placed directly on his shoulders, but it could be. Actually, it wouldn’t…

Johnathan Williams 17 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (4/4/2019)

When the Lakers got outscored by the Warriors 39-12 in the opening quarter of play, I thought to myself “This isn’t gonna be pretty. Bring out the snacks!” While I did indeed bring out my snacks and consume them, I didn’t enjoy them any more than I usually do, because the Lakers actually outscored the…
