The Grit n’ Grind era of Memphis basketball is over (although Jae Crowder seems like he would fit in that era), and you know what? I’m not even feeling that sad about its demise. As much as everyone likes to pretend that they like low-scoring defensive basketball games, the truth is that they don’t. The…

Kendrick Nunn 25 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2019)
A trend I’ve noticed while looking at high-scoring seasons by unexpected players is that if they happen to score a lot of points in their first few games, that will be the catalyst to keep up the scoring for the rest of the year. And in seasons where they don’t score as much, it’s because…
Read MoreDuncan Robinson Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2019)
And here I thought that the only reason the Heat were giving Duncan Robinson actual minutes was to piss of Dion Waiters. That’s undoubtedly part of the reason, but an equivalent part of the reason is that he can actually score the ball. So it turns out that if Waiters gets really aggressive and starts…
Read MoreP.J. Tucker 16 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2019)
When all is said and done, this video will have been a waste of effort on my part. Not an enormous waste, given that it took me just twenty minutes to put it together, but a waste nonetheless. Even in the hierarchy of P.J. Tucker highlight videos, which is a very pathetic hierarchy to begin…
Read MoreKendrick Nunn 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/26/2019)
Kendrick Nunn was looking good through the first three quarters of this game. Now that the sting of defeat has worn off, I can say those words without irony or anger or any of those other negative emotions that plague me after I watch the Bucks lose. He might be an old rookie at age…
Read MoreIsh Smith 19 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2019)
By joining the Wizards, Ish Smith is now playing for his eleventh franchise. He needs to add just one more team to his collection before he’ll share the record for most teams played with in an NBA career, a record he would share with NBA luminaries Chucky Brown, Jim Jackson, Tony Massenburg, and Joe Smith….
Read MoreMitchell Robinson 17 Points/5 Dunks/3 Blocks Full Highlights (10/26/2019)
When it comes to Mitchell Robinson and player development, are Knicks fans even hoping that he adds additional facets to his game, or are they only hoping for improvement in the facets he already possesses? Right now, he’s pretty good at dunking, rebounding and blocking shots (and fouling), but he doesn’t do much else. He’s…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (10/26/2019)
“B-B-B-BUT DEE TEE BEE!” you blurt at your monitor as you see the latest upload to my channel appear in your subscriber feed. “F-F-FRANK KAMINSKY HAD N-N-N-NINETEEN POINTS LAST G-G-GAME AND YOU D-D-DIDN’T EVEN MAKE A V-V-V-V-V-VIDEO!!!! YOU H-H-H-HATE FRANK K-K-KAMINSKY!!!” Tears run down your face as you make this bold, yet unfounded, accusation. First…
Read MoreDejounte Murray 19 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2019)
Dejounte Murray is getting to be way too exciting for the Spurs. They didn’t get to where they are today by being all flashy and fun. They did it with FUNDAMENTALS. They did it by shooting CORNER THREES. They didn’t grab rebounds and then run as fast as they could down the court so they…
Read MoreR.J. Barrett 26 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2019)
It’s early, but I’m already liking R.J. Barrett’s chances at the ROTY of the Year award. He’s played three games, and he’s gotten buckets in all three. Not an overwhelming amount of buckets, but an amount consistent with the amount a sweet-scoring lottery selection rookie should be getting. And in a lot of years, that’s…
