Matisse Thybulle 15 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)

The title of this video doesn’t really do it justice. Yeah, Matisse Thybulle had 15 points and yeah, that’s a career high. But as everybody knows, there’s a lot more to Thybulle’s game than just scoring. Actually, the majority of his game is something other than scoring. Scoring seems almost like a distracting afterthought to…

Eric Paschall 25 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)

It seems like so much time has passed since Eric Paschall scored 14 points in his Warriors debut, but it was only about a month ago. Things were so different then. There was still hope that the Warriors would remain an elite team, although the fact that Paschall (who was, at that point, just a…

Abdel Nader Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)

OFFICIAL NBA PLAYERS FROM EGYPT POWER RANKINGS – ALL TIME EDITION 1. Abdel Nader 2. Alaa Abdelnaby First off, I want to apologize for not making these power rankings a “Power Pyramid” (which would be extremely appropriate considering the country in question). I wanted to, I really did, but such a Power Pyramid would require…

Bismack Biyombo 19 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)

One of the storylines I don’t think I’ve seen anyone bring up yet is Bismack Biyombo’s utterly unexpected transformation into a competent scorer. When he started his career, he was one of the lowest scorers, per minute, in the league. In the 2012-13 season, he scored 6 points per 36, a ridiculously low amount. It…

Danuel House Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)

It says a lot about the state of Rockets right where you can see that Danuel House is one of their top five players. Possibly top four, and if you want to be super-duper realistic and not be blinded by the blazing light of superstardom, maybe top three. Honestly, I think I would really enjoy…

Jabari Parker 33 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)

The way Jabari Parker played to start this game, I thought that he was going to score 50 for sure. If not more. 25 points in the first half, and I honestly believed that he was going to accelerate that scoring pace in the second half. He knew that he could get whatever he wanted,…

Tyler Herro 22 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)

A lot of people in my home state (which is Wisconsin, I’m not some filthy bandwagoner) were upset by Tyler Herro’s decision to decommit from the University of Wisconsin to play for Kentucky instead. So upset that they still hold a grudge even now that he’s in the NBA and doesn’t even get to choose…

Mo Bamba 15 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/27/2019)

Yeah, you’re doing the math right. 15 points with 5 threes means that all of Mo Bamba’s points came from outside the arc tonight. The question we have to ask ourselves is this: how stretchy is too stretchy for a young big? Obviously, it’s good for a 7-footer to be able to shoot threes. There’s…

Jonas Valanciunas 30 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)

“The more things change, the more they stay the same.” That’s what my grandma said to me one time, and I thought it was really profound and I was like “damn, Gram-Gram’s got some wisdom in that wrinkly head”. But it turns out she didn’t even make up the saying. I guess it was too…

Jerami Grant 20 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2019)

Jerami Grant has, predictably, regressed from his stellar season in Oklahoma City last year. What wasn’t predictable was the size of his regression; I thought he’d get a little worse without Russell Westbrook throwing him lobs (and stealing his rebounds), and I thought his near 40-percent three-point shooting was unsustainable (because of his 71 percent…
