With another loss to the Hornets (who would now be the eighth seed if the season ended right this second), the Pistons drop to 6-13 for the year. Whatever their expectations were before the season started, they’re not even coming close to meeting them. The futile chase for the eighth seed, which is a Pistons…

Terry Rozier 23 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
The Charlotte Hornets gave Terry Rozier a lot of money. In my view, any NBA contract is “a lot” of money, but this was a lot of money even by the high standards of NBA contracts. It was so much money that many mean people mocked both the franchise and the player for it. I…
Read MoreJordan Poole 20 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
One of these games, ONE OF THESE GAMES, Jordan Poole is going to totally break out and start making all the crazy shots that he’s taking. This game doesn’t count; 20 points on 10 shots is wildly efficient for him, but it’s still a bit low on the pointage to qualify as a true breakout…
Read MoreDuncan Robinson 17 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
Duncan “Sampson Olajuwon” Robinson’s quest for a perfect free-throw shooting ended tonight, as he missed 1 of his 3 attempts, leaving him at 14 for 15 on the season. If there was a Twitch chat for this Heat game (which there probably was on one of those shady streaming sites), I’m sure it was flooded…
Read MoreTyler Herro 19 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
Tyler Herro is a rarity: a mid first-round pick playing a big role for one of the better teams in the league. He’s not just playing a big role relative to the expectations of his draft placement; he’s scoring 15 per game for the Heat, and making as many or more shots than everyone else…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 26 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
At this year’s Thanksgiving dinner, my extended family were going around the table saying what they were most thankful for this year. It’s a yearly tradition, and it sucks (just like everything about Thanksgiving besides the pie), but I go along with it. When it was my turn, I said “I’m thankful that I don’t…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 22 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
Jonas Valanciunas was the reason the Grizzlies were within 2 points with 6 minutes left in the game. Everyone else was throwing up bricks, and he was helpfully grabbing those bricks and placing them gently in the bucket so that two points could be scored. After that point, though, he stopped scoring or even shooting,…
Read MoreCedi Osman 20 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
The much-coveted title of “Best Turkish NBA Player” is up for grabs right now. I look around the league, see some scattered Turks, and none of them are playing exceptionally well. Honestly, as it stands, Furkan Aldemir could make his long-awaited return to the league and take the title easily. By the way, I am…
Read MoreDarius Garland 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
After his disastrous (though not so disastrous that I did not make a highlight video for his scoring performance) 8-turnover game in the Cavaliers’ last game, Darius Garland was well on his way to a 0-turnover game in this one. Sadly, he coughed the ball up with 4 seconds to go (don’t worry, the Cavaliers…
Read MoreP.J. Washington 26 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
Hype levels for Miles Bridges: diminishing. Hype levels for Cody Zeller: dwindling from already low levels. Hype levels for Dwayne Bacon: plummeting. Hype levels for Terry Rozier: never existed. Hype levels for P.J. Washington: THROUGH THE ROOF AND TO THE MOON While much of the Hornets’ roster is hard to get hyped for at this…
