Bryn Forbes 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/20/2019)

Bryn Forbes has been the model of consistency this season, hitting between 3 and 7 shots in every game this season, or if you include only November, between 4 and 6 shots. You know what you’re going to get from him coming into the game, you can plan around that, unlike up-and-down players like… everybody…

Shaquille Harrison 15 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/20/2019)

The Bulls have been struggling a bit, so why not do what every struggling team does once or a dozen times during the season: shake up the starting lineup with people you just recalled from the G-League! Shove Shaquille Harrison in there with Tomas Satoransky and Zach LaVine to form some sort of positionless 6-7…

Frank Ntilikina 17 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2019)

Any meatball on an NBA roster can hit a few garbage layups, maybe get fouled a few times, and fool people into thinking they had a “good” scoring game. Literally anyone can do it. You know how many promising-on-the-surface vids have been ruined by a preponderance LAMEups? I don’t even want to think about how…

Tim Hardaway Jr. 20 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2019)

Tim Hardaway Jr. has been an off again, on-again entry on my exclusion list, which is the OFFICIAL document that dictates which players are too good to appear on my channel and which players are NOT too good. Some years, he looks like a premier scoring talent who can go toe-to-toe with other elite shooting…

Chris Boucher 14 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2019)

Raptors fans may take the following comment the wrong way, but I swear that I’m not coming from a position of enmity when I make it. Positive and negative feelings both are being set aside when I make this completely neutral observation: Does or does not Chris Boucher kind of look like a dinosaur? I…

Fred VanVleet 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/20/2019)

The Orlando Magic aren’t all that good right now, which lessens the impact of this rematch from the first round of the playoffs last season. There wasn’t any “bad blood” that I could tell. If there was a rivalrous atmosphere sizzling in the arena, it wasn’t apparent from the television broadcast. From all outside appearances,…

Ish Smith 21 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2019)

When I started making this video and was reminded that NBA legend Drew Gooden is currently a broadcaster for the Wizards, it got me thinking: did Ish Smith and Drew Gooden ever share the court during their respective journeyman careers? Gooden and Smith were both part of the forgettable 2012-13 Milwaukee Bucks team that won…

Ky Bowman 16 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2019)

I felt a lot of kinship with Ky Bowman while putting together this highlight video. Not because of any kind of shared physical traits, though. Bowman’s light-colored hair combined with his dark-colored beard makes his head look like a dessert item. I support his autonomy when it comes to hairstyles, but I cannot honestly say…

Eric Paschall 22 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2019)

I think it’s apparent from the box-score that Eric Paschall was OFFICIALLY the number one option for the Warriors last night. He played forty minutes (eight more than the next highest minutes-getter, Ky Bowman) and took nineteen shots (five more than the next highest shot-taker, Jordan Poole). With every “good” player on the Warriors out…

Terence Davis 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/20/2019)

One of the traditional methods of building a good team is to suck for high draft picks and hope those picks turn into superstars that you can win championships with. I’m not sure how successful this strategy has actually been in terms of producing actual championships and not just frustrated fanbases and a few mediocre…
