It’s a good thing the Nuggets won this game, because I was having a hard time seeing them winning the series after losing the first two games at home. At the same time, I kinda would’ve liked to see that loss, just to see the implosion of Nuggets fans. Would there be boos? Were there…

Montrezl Harrell 25 Points Full Highlights (4/15/2019)
Montrezl “Monsterezl” “Mississzugz” Harrell lived up to the “Monster” part of his nickname by scoring fifteen of his twenty-five points in the fourth quarter, helping propel a surprise come-from-behind victory that left every fan in Oracle Arena wishing they had bandwagoned onto an actually good team like the Bucks rather than the pansy collection of…
Read MoreKevon Looney Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (4/15/2019)
Kevon Looney departed his game near the end of the third quarter having earned the Warriors a 17-point lead. Without his 19 points, they would’ve ALREADY been losing by that point. I guess it would’ve been fine if he didn’t score at all, because in the end, the Warriors lost with him only playing the…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 16 Points Full Highlights (4/15/2019)
Boban Marjanovic just demonstrated to Jarrett Allen why you can’t give Marjanovic any space when he’s got the ball: he’ll just shoot a midrange jumper (after making sure for five seconds that nobody’s going to come defend him first). We’ve known since his rookie season with the Spurs that Boban has some midrange shooting ability,…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 21 Points Full Highlights (4/14/2019)
Okay, so the Pistons got blown out in game one, but never fear! DownToBuck is on the premises, and he is uniquely qualified to give advice directly to Pistons players/coaches/ownership/fans on how to turn this series around. Among his qualifications: -Is a Bucks fan and knows their deepest inner workings -Has made highlight videos of…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 20 Points Full Highlights (4/14/2019)
It’s not a stretch to say that Enes Kanter won this game for the Blazers with his inextinguishible desire to grab rebounds, particularly of the offensive variety. While Lameian Brickard and C.J. McChuckBrick were missing shots, Kanter just walked right in there to clean things up for them. Some clutch O-boards at the end +…
Read MoreMarcus Morris 20 Points Full Highlights (4/14/2019)
My guess is that Marcus Morris played some very good defense this game. I watched this one through three quarters (enough to see the Pacers get totally shut down in the third quarter), but I wasn’t watching Morris’ defensive play specifically because I don’t care about defense. However, given the Celtics’ strong defense, it only…
Read MoreShai Gilgeous-Alexander 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/13/2019)
Credit where credit is due to the Clippers in this one: it seemed like everything was going wrong for them literally the entire game, but they managed to keep things reasonable for most of it. Like, I’d look at the score thinking they were going to be down 25 but they were only down 10….
Read MoreMontrezl Harrell 26 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2019)
DeMarcus Cousins (who is supposed to be a good player) in this game: 9 points, 4 of 12 shooting, 6 turnovers, 6 fouls. Montrezl Harrell (who actually is a good player) in this game: 26 points, 11 of 15 shooting, 5 rebounds, 2 of everything else. There were a lot of people who were very…
Read MoreGary Harris 20 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2019)
I cannot think of a better time than right now for Gary Harris to find his old form from seasons past. His injury-related decline has not received much attention since the Nuggets are so good anyway, but he’s nowhere near the player he was even last season. To illustrate: this is his first 20-burger since…
