Fun fact: coming into this game, Darius Garland had the worst Win Shares of any NBA player, at -0.6. If you had asked me who held that dubious distinction, I would’ve probably answered either Marco Belinelli (who is NOT a spicy meatball right now) or Eric Gordon (who looks like a regular, non-spicy meatball all…

Rui Hachimura 21 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
Aside from all the reasons to be hyped for Rui Hachimura, I am perhaps most hyped because there now appears to be a young NBA player who is willing to make a living in the midrange, analytics be damned. Carmelo Anthony used to be that player, then he started shooting threes, then he got so…
Read MoreMarcus Morris 29 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
The Knicks signed a whole bunch of players in the offseason, most of them of varying degrees of goodness ranging from “decently okay” to “pretty good I think”, and you’re telling me that the best scorer that they have is Marcus Morris? Followed closely by a rookie who can barely shoot? I’m thinking several things…
Read MoreFrank Ntilikina 14 Points/4 Assists/4 Steals/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
And here I thought Jonathan Isaac almost getting a five-by-five was crazy, if Frank “Baby Isaac” Ntilikina had gotten one I think the whole world would’ve imploded. Obviously that’s quite an extreme outcome for a comparatively mundane event, so it’s a good thing that he came up a little short. But he still got way…
Read MoreOG Anunoby 21 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
This isn’t fair. Things were supposed to happen a certain way, and now they’re not happening that way at all. In case you weren’t aware, let me fill you in: Kawhi Leonard left the Raptors during the offseason. He ran away to Los Angeles because he couldn’t deal with the stress of trying to repeat…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
Looking around the league, there are a lot of players who are well and truly sucking right now. Just a whole bunch of them, every team has one or two or maybe a whole roster full of them (sound familiar, Kings fans?). Just because of the way basketball is, some of those players will start…
Read MoreJabari Parker 25 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
One of my duties as the world’s preeminent YouTube highlights superstar (a title bestowed on me by… me, but only because I was tired of waiting for someone else to do so) is to look at every single dunk that occurs is an NBA game in order to ponder its possible inclusion in my dunks…
Read MoreJonathan Isaac 22 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
I feel like I was talking about a similar situation just yesterday, but why is Jonathan Isaac out there padding his stats in the last few minutes of a blowout? Isaac isn’t, you know, a superstar or anything, but end-of-garbage time is definitely not for players like him. Maybe last year, but not anymore. Garbage…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 29 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
Sometimes, fate smiles on me. Not often, but sometimes. Right now, the Bucks are getting destroyed by the Mike Conley (who I thought was supposed to suck wtf) and the rest of the Jazz, but I don’t even have to get mad while watching it, because I get to make sick highlights of Luke Kennard…
Read MoreIvica Zubac 15 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2019)
Ivica “Zu Tycoon” Zubac is another one of those talented young players that the Lakers pretty much gave away for nothing. If it seems like the Lakers’ screwups are the only thing I can talk about, you’re right. There should be no safe spaces for Lakers fans. By virtue of their bandwagoning fandom (it’s really…
