Jarrett Allen 17 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2019)

Does anybody out there know how to start a petition? Like, a real petition? Not those fake change.org petitions. Everybody knows those are pointless. Those are just there for virtue signallers on the internet to signal their virtues without actually doing anything, not even scribbling their real-life signature with a real-life pen on a real-life…

Frank Kaminsky 19 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2019)

Okay, Suns fans. You can stop hating on Frank Kaminsky now that he’s had two good games in a row, an amount of games which OFFICIALLY breaks him out of the extended slump he was in. No longer do your rude nicknames like “Frank the Clank” and “Frank the Stank” have any relevance. The new…

Mitchell Robinson 16 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (11/14/2019)

On a night when Knicks draftee Kristaps Porzingis returned to the Garden to remind Knicks fans of what their team gave up on (or more like, what their team was forced to give up on because of trade demands LOL [lots of laughs]), Mitchell Robinson decided to make the opposite statement: there’s no need to…

Derrick Favors 20 Points/20 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/14/2019)

In comparison to triple-doubles, which happen all the time now and barely mean anything, the 20-20 game is a somewhat rarer sight. There have been sixteen triple-doubles this year, actually not as many as I expected (I guess I temporarily forgot that Chucksell Statpadbrook doesn’t get as many opportunities to chuck OR statpad this year),…

Alex Len 21 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2019)

A lot of people (including me) have been hyping up Aron Baynes pretty hard this season. And for good reason, because he’s been playing exceedingly well. But tonight, the script flipped. Alex Len just took the script and flipped it all over the place, and while it was lying there on the ground, thoroughly flipped,…

Damian Jones Career High 14 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2019)

It looks like Damian Jones made the right call to bail on the Warriors during the offseason. Sticklers will point out that he didn’t have a choice in the matter, that he got traded to the Hawks for Omari Spellman. And I will point out that you can just shut the heck up and get…

Rodney McGruder 20 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2019)

Prior to tonight’s outburst, Rodney McGruder was averaging one (1) point per game over 7 contests. And it wasn’t just a total lack of minutes that led to that depressing average; his per-36 scoring was only 2.8. That’s ridiculously low for anyone with any amount of minutes. That’s DeSagana Diop territory, the problem is that…

Coby White 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/14/2019)

Coby White started off this game the same way he finished his last game (a reminder: he hit 7 threes in the fourth quarter). I was NOT happy. That’s what I get for actually watching the Bucks: a floppy-haired rookie coming in and making a whole bunch of threes. He had five of them in…

Frank Jackson 23 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2019)

This was an impressive win by the Pelicans. Missing almost everybody good on their roster besides Jrue Holiday, they spoiled Paul George’s Clippers debut. Yeah, the Clippers were without Kawhi Leonard, but that was a self-inflicted wound. All the Pelicans’ injuries are real, no load management going on here. Frank Jackson played a big part…

Kelly Oubre 30 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2019)

How long until Kelly Oubre’s “do pushups every time I end up on the floor” shtick becomes played out? Or is it already played out? Perhaps I’m turning into a grumpy old man, perhaps I’ve always been a grumpy old man trapped in a young man’s body. Suns fans seem to like it still, but…
