Larry Nance Jr. 18 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

I think we can now say, almost twenty games into the season, that Larry Nance Jr. has OFFICIALLY added a three-pointer to his game. It’s not just something he shoots once in a while that sometimes goes in. He shoots them multiple times per game at a 39% clip. He’s not high-volume or anything, but…

George Hill 18 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

I’m a big fan of George Hill now that he’s on the Bucks. His smaller role is more palatable from a highlight-making perspective (I remember being upset by his constant good games during his one season with the Jazz) and from a “I want DiVincenzo to get more minutes” perspective. I like George Hill so…

R.J. Barrett 18 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

I honestly feel like the only thing keeping Knicks fans alive at this point is the fact that R.J. Barrett is looking pretty okay for a 19-year-old rookie. Everything else about the team is draining their collective life force to critical levels, but Barrett’s injection of excitement into the proceedings is just enough to save…

Abdel Nader 19 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

This nineteen-point performance from Abdel Nader would have been a career-high if he had not scored 23 points literally the game before. To set would-be career-highs in back-to-back games should get me more hyped, but I am strangely neutral on the matter. Maybe it’s because I know that Egyptian people don’t follow the NBA that…

Jeremy Lamb 20 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

After spending a significant amount of time playing on some going-nowhere Hornets teams where he should have been the second option on offense, Jeremy Lamb escaped from North Carolina to land in Indiana. And now he still doesn’t get to be the second option on offense. The Hornets were honestly the perfect situation for him…

Quinn Cook 17 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

In my opinion, and this is just my opinion (but you know my opinions are always right), but Runescape was completely ruined forever when they changed the cooking skill so that you could click “cook x” one time for everything in your inventory rather than having to click on each raw food item separately and…

Rui Hachimura 16 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

The final score of this game 103-125, was “only” a 22-point loss for the ‘Zards, but halfway through the third quarter, they were down by almost forty. So this game was even less close than the final tally would have you believe. I bring this up because the fourth quarter was complete garbage time (I’m…

Markelle Fultz 15 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

I have had enough success with Markelle Fultz videos on my channel that I’m seriously considering the possibility of creating a spin-off channel to focus solely on Fultz, tentatively monikered “DownToFultz”. On this theoretical new channel, there would be nothing standing in the way of Fultz-obsessed viewers and 100% nonstop in-depth Fultz coverage. Among my…

Aron Baynes 17 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

It’s crazy how Suns fans were blaming their rough patch, where they dropped six of seven games and just barely came away with a two-point win against the Wolves, on the absence of Aron Baynes. Not because I think Suns fans were being completely irrational in their insistence that Baynes was a vital part of…

Kelly Oubre 22 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

How unfair is it that Kelly Oubre and Ricky Rubio are on the same team? Not only are they both skilled basketball players who most fans would want on their team, but they might be the most attractive teammate duo in the league. I was struck by this when I saw Oubre smiling at Rubio…
