When the Paul George trade happened, there were a fair few people out there who were thinking to themselves “That’s actually not such a horrible deal for the Thunder”. Sure, they lost their superstar, but let’s look at the facts: Paul George has degenerative shoulders. His shoulders are like the opposite of Dwight Howard’s shoulders…

Brandon Clarke 16 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2019)
I’ve taken to pronouncing Brandon Clarke’s last name as “Clarky”. Usually this pronunciation is only done inside my head because I don’t normally have occasion to say his name to other real-life human beings. However, if I did need to talk about Clarke to other people, I would definitely pronounce it “Clarky” in order to…
Read MoreSkal Labissiere 15 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2019)
DownToBuck doesn’t normally feel emotions like happiness. In fact, DownToBuck has largely forgotten what happiness feels like. Contentment, sure, DownToBuck feels content sometimes. He even sometimes feels pleased. But happiness? DownToBuck’s flattened emotional seismograph doesn’t allow for extreme emotions like that. On the plus side, DownToBuck is not really capable of sadness or frustration either….
Read MoreRodney Hood 25 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2019)
Whatever affliction that caused Rodney Hood to regress as a player when he was hand-picked by Jabroni Lames to help take the Cavaliers to the finals in 2018, I’m pretty sure he’s cured of it. No longer is Hood playing with superhuman levels of passivity. No longer is he refusing to enter games despite the…
Read MoreDwayne Bacon Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2019)
Hornets fans seem to think that this guy is not actually good, but I don’t know where they got that idea, because when I watch this video I see nothing but buckets. It’s like he never misses. Falsehoods peddled by fake news sites like basketball-reference.com and nba.com may indicate that he misses shots. Lies. The…
Read MoreKy Bowman 16 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2019)
You’ve probably seen it a million times by now (and if you’re a Warriors fan, you saw it live and in the flesh), but to remind you, here’s the lineup that the Warriors dynasty started tonight: Ky Bowman Jordan Poole Glenn Robinson Eric Paschall Willie Cauley-Stein That’s not a good lineup. It could be worse…
Read MoreAron Baynes 20 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (11/2/2019)
The NBA three-point stripe is way the heck out there. It doesn’t look like much on the screen, but in real life, man, it’s seriously far back. You get used to the high-school distance (like I did), and that’s all fine and good, a nice and comfortable shot, and then you go out to the…
Read MoreJa Morant 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/2/2019)
I know this is a video depicting the exploits of one Ja Morant, one of the most exciting rookies in the NBA right now, but I am very upset about injustice right now and I have to get it off my chest. Isn’t that what all of pubic discourse is about these days? Fighting injustice?…
Read MoreAdmiral Schofield 15 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2019)
It’s way too early in the season for a guy like Admiral Schofield to be scoring 15 points in a game. WAY too early. This is a kind of thing I would expect during the last few weeks of the season, not the first few weeks. I wasn’t looking at that boxscore in disbelief while…
Read MoreJarrett Culver 20 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2019)
You will never guess which fast-food burger establishment I acquired my dinner from tonight. You will simply NEVER guess. There is just no way for you to know. There are no clues hidden ANYWHERE in this highlights package, not in the title, not in the thumbnail, not in the video itself, nowhere. You can guess…
