Full title of this video since YouTube is being a bitch and won’t let me put so many characters in: “Ricky Rubio 17 Points/11 Assists/1 Airball Three/1 Harden Doggy-styled/1 Fourth-Quarter Collapse/1 Early Playoff Exit Full Highlights (4/24/2019)”. I like my video titles to be clear representations of what is contained in the video. Except, I…

Maurice Harkless 17 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2019)
The narrative from this game, carefully curated by the media for mass consumption by an undiscerning populace, is that Damian Lillard is the hero of this game for hitting a three-pointer as time expired. As the narrative goes, Lillard’s shot was a game-winner, and it gave him fifty points for the game, so he’s the…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 11 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (4/23/2019)
It only took Shabazz Napier 15 minutes of playing time to rack up 10 assists, a total that is way higher than any single-game total that D’Angelo Russell had this series. If Russell really wanted assists he could just ask to play with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (Napier’s last 7 dimes went to him), but it’s still…
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 12 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (4/23/2019)
Just because Jakob Poeltl is a starter, doesn’t mean he should be barred from playing in garbage time. The Nuggets’ lead ballooned to about 30 points near the start of the fourth quarter, rendering that last period meaningless. Normally, that’s when players like Poeltl shine; they can do stuff that maybe they wouldn’t do otherwise,…
Read MoreRondae Hollis-Jefferson 21 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2019)
Have we seen the last of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson in a Nets uniform? To me, all the signs point to “yes”. It’s pretty clear the Nets have moved on from RHJ. He was healthy at the end of the season but was getting DNP’s anyway. Since the Nets did’t have the world’s greatest assemblage of wing…
Read MoreWes Iwundu 12 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2019)
Wes Iwundu walked the quiet halls of the Orlando Magic front office and tried to not look too out of place. It was late in the day, past the time when most workers would have gone home, but the lights were still on and there were still a few people at their desks. He felt…
Read MorePascal Siakam 24 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2019)
In an unbroken span of about eighteen minutes, Pascal Siakam dropped in twenty points to turn a game that was already a serious blowout into an even seriouser blowout. In doing so, he gave us a tantalizing vision of what the Raptors would look like in a post-Kawhi world where Siakam is the number one…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 18 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (4/22/2019)
The Jazz were on the verge of getting swept until Ricky “Spanish Sexy Eyes” Rubio decided to stop being “2019 Rubio” and instead was “VINTAGE Rubio”. Their backs were against the wall but Rubio didn’t feel any pressure as he ripped apart the Rockets’ lazy defense with precision passing and unexpected finishing ability. Rubio’s effort…
Read MoreJae Crowder 23 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2019)
Rockets fans must be losing their minds right now. Jae Crowder, the guy who played like a huge dingleberry for the first three games of this series, got redonkulously hot in the first seven minutes of game four, scoring fourteen points in that timespan. He ended up with 23 for the game. Again, this is…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 26 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/22/2019)
The 2018-19 Pistons season has come to an end. They (well, Reggie Jackson and Blake Griffin) put up a fight in this game instead of getting swept by the Bucks without complaint, but in the end, there wasn’t much they could do considering the massive talent gap between the two teams. Now that they’re gone,…
