OFFICIAL PROS AND CONS OF TROY DANIELS GOING TO THE LAKERS PROS: -The Lakers get a legitimate three-point threat who can fit in with any lineup as long as you don’t expect him to do anything other than hit threes -The Lakers commentators don’t have to say the “Fulton Homes Donates $100 to Suns Charities”…

Allonzo Trier 22 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
This is what happens when I charge blindly into the highlight creation process without giving it the proper consideration that it deserves. I end up making a highlight video where the amount of free throws made (7) exceeds the amount of buckets made (6). Anybody who has a solid grasp on the concept of numbers…
Read MoreThomas Bryant 21 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
Thomas “Thobe” Bryant’s individual successes early this season make me feel good inside. From a second-round draftee getting no minutes his rookie season to a certified starter who can stretch the floor, Bryant’s rapid rise up the ranks has been fun to watch. And you know what makes it even better? It was the Lakers…
Read MoreDelon Wright 20 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
Delon Wright proved last year that any random starter-ish quality point guard can get hella triple-doubles if they just put their mind to it and their team lets them do so. I think he had three out of four to end the season with the Grizzlies, which definitely played a part in him earning a…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 23 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
All the happiness and fun caused by the Suns dominant opening-night win against the Kings is gone now. I warned Suns fans not to get too excited, and I was right to warn them, but I didn’t expect how this would all play out. I just sorta figured that they would regress back to their…
Read MoreBrandon Clarke 14 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
What’s up with all these damn Canadians infesting my NATIONAL (note: NATIONAL means AMERICAN) Basketball Association? It seems like every time I look at where some mysterious young player was born in, it turns out to be Canada. Not to be racist or anything, but they need to go back to where they came from….
Read MoreJaren Jackson 23 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
Brevin Knight (the Grizzlies’ color commentator, for those who, like me, don’t really know the names of the people behind the mics) sure seemed to be adamant about Jaren Jackson taking it inside and not “settling” for outside shots. Um, did he not see Jackson’s first ever Summer League game? You know, the one where…
Read MoreCoby White 25 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
It took 21 second-half points from Coby “Froby” White for the Bulls to squeak by the Grizzlies (notice how I didn’t say “blatantly tanking Grizzlies”, I don’t think they’re going to start that until next week), but they managed to pull it out and earn themselves their first W of the season. Things were looking…
Read MoreShai Gilgeous-Alexander Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
I’m starting to doubt the validity of the “Point Guard” designation that has been heretofore applied to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The idea of having a tall PG is something that all NBA general managers like the sound of, and for obvious reasons. Who wouldn’t want a small forward-sized guy with PG skills terrorizing the midgets that…
Read MoreRui Hachimura 19 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
The first thing that haters will notice about this game is that Rui Hachimura needed 20 shots to get his 19 points. They will look at the boxscore, point accusatorily at the offending row, and exclaim “HAH! Look at what an inefficient chucker Hachimura is! I knew he would be a bust, and I was…
