Every game that passes with Bam Adebayo playing at a pseudo-All-Star level renders my scathing nickname of “Bum Adebayo” less scathing and more petty. Not that I think he’ll be an All-Star, because he probably won’t be, but his averages of 14/10/4/1/1 on extremely efficient shooting certainly raise my eyebrows, being that I am a…

Paul Millsap 21 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
Paul Millsap is allegedly a good passer. Maybe I don’t even have to throw that scary qualifier “allegedly” in there. He is a good passer. His time in Atlanta demonstrated that to us. So why is he averaging less than two assists per game this season? Why is his season-high in assists only three? I…
Read MorePatrick Patterson 19 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
When Patrick Patterson scored twenty points in the second game of the season, displaying much-needed scoring acumen for a team that was missing its superstars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, I allowed myself to fantasize about a situation where Patterson revived his career by regularly scoring double digits for a championship contender. Ha. Haha. Ha….
Read MoreAustin Rivers 19 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
Austin Rivers scored all 19 of his points tonight before another Rockets bench player even scored one. Shout out to Tyson Chandler for getting a single bucket at the end of the third quarter. It turns out that from the rest of the bench, Chris Clemons can only score in garbage time, Gary Clark can’t…
Read MoreSeth Curry 19 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
Seth Curry is one of many, many names placed on the “vaguely disappointing” list for their performances so far this season. A full version of this list is not available at this time, however, Curry’s name is definitely on it. I just checked. Don’t worry about it. He hasn’t been bad, at least as far…
Read MoreD.J. Augustin 24 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
I don’t think a lot of people realized it, but D.J. Augustin was one of the Magic’s best players last year. He was right there behind Nikola Vucevic (who was clearly the best). Evan Fournier, Aaron Gordon? Maybe they were flashier scoring the ball, but Augustin was the savvy vet point guard that the team…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 21 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
Alternate title for the video if the title represented the content of the thumbnail and not the content of the video: “Davis Bertans Finds Himself Adrift Upon an Endless Sea of Hardwood Full Highlights (12/3/2019)”. One of these days I’m going to find some gallery space, rent it out, put up an exhibit of all…
Read MoreNorman Powell 23 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
The Raptors finally lost a game. I was beginning to think that they were never going to lose again, that the voodoo (or Canadian/First Nations equivalent of voodoo) magic that somehow is keeping them afloat after Kawhi Leonard’s departure would keep voodooing and magicking until they won another championship. Thank goodness that that is not…
Read MoreDuncan Robinson 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
Every molecule in my body is screaming at me to compare Duncan Robinson with Heat legend Jason Kapono. Truly, the comparisons are there: Kapono averaged 10.9 on over 50 percent from three in his best season of his career, which came with the Heat, while Robinson is now averaging 11.2 on a mere 44 percent…
Read MoreBryn Forbes 25 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
Bryn Forbes, for his first few seasons, was one of those guys where you’re like “wow, this guy is a great shooter, but he needs to be more aggressive looking for his shots”. And because you’re an idiot, you don’t realize what kind of an effect that such a mindset will have on his overall…
