Major props going out right now to the Pistons for actually putting up a fight in this game. Every lopsided 8-seed versus 1-seed matchup usually has at least one half where the 8-seed tries to make it a game, and the first half of this game was that half. They may have ended up losing…

Ricky Rubio 17 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/17/2019)
I like the Jazz, but I like Ricky Rubio even more (I think because of his eyes that have a hidden depth behind their shimmering radiance), and I just don’t think that this “everyone touches the ball” thing the Jazz have going on is playing to Rubio’s strengths. It might be better for the team,…
Read MoreRoyce O’Neale 17 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2019)
True NBA role-player historians will remember the unlikely hero for the Jazz in last year’s series against the Rockets: Royce O’Neale, who scored 17 points on two seperate occasions, stepping up and leading his team on offense in game 3 while everyone else sucked, and again in game 5, again taking a leading role with…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 19 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2019)
I don’t want to freak anyone out here, but the knowledge I’m about to drop on you is seriously freaky. If you are of weak constitution, or are otherwise easily spooked, I advise you to discontinue reading this description and maybe to prevent yourself from reading my descriptions in the future. I don’t want to…
Read MorePat Connaughton 18 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (4/17/2019)
Pat “Patty Ice” Connaughton went through periods of time this season where he was the mascot off the bench to entertain the crowd. He was like a little leprechaun that would come in and everybody would get happy when he got a putback dunk or did some other cute little thing. But there were also…
Read MoreJayson Tatum 26 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2019)
Some games you watch the Celtics, you think to yourself, “Man, Kobe Bean Bryant completely ruined Jayson Tatum’s development. He turned Tatum from a promising scoring wing into a midrange-obsessed chucker with an ego.” There are other games you watch the Celtics and you think to yourself, “Man, Tatum might not play this well every…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 23 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2019)
For the second game in a row, the Pacers suffered a prolonged scoring drought that lasted for almost an entire quarter. The difference here is that the quarter happened to be the fourth quarter, so it’s easier to point to it and say “that’s the reason the Pacers lost right there”. That’s what I’m doing,…
Read MorePascal Siakam 19 Points Full Highlights (4/16/2019)
19 points wouldn’t normally qualify Pascal “Pascal’s Wager” Siakam for a highlight video (at least from me, who knows what abhorrent lack of standards other highlight-compilers possess). I thought long and hard about whether to make this video or not, and then I decided that since he’s only going to be on my channel for…
Read MoreDerrick White 17 Points Full Highlights (4/16/2019)
The Spurs need to do something about their “Derrick White is our best player” problem. I’m not complaining, because I think White is great and it’s cool to see him be the best player on the team despite not having any real experience to speak of, but I can’t imagine it’s a recipe for playoff…
Read MoreGary Harris 23 Points Full Highlights (4/16/2019)
“Playoff Gary Harris” is a real thing, people. Don’t even try to pretend that it isn’t, because now that I’ve spoken those words, the universe recognizes it as an actual thing that really exists. Maybe it didn’t before, but it does now. “Playoff Gary Harris”. Oh yeah. I apologize for lying when I said that…
