Willie Cauley-Stein 17 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2019)

While all the scrubs around him are taking full advantage of the fact that the Warriors’ lineup is scrubtastic enough to allow them to take hella shots whenever they want, Willie Cauley-Stein’s usage has actually gone down from his Sacramento days. This short stop in Golden State is his one chance to shoulder more of…

Doug McDermott 17 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2019)

Someone get Doug McDermott a featured role on a team, quickly. Time is running out, he’s already 27, almost 28 (how is that possible???), his prime years are passing by before our eyes without him being a number one (or even number two) option on a team. It doesn’t need to be a good team,…

Terrence Ross 23 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2019)

I had this penciled in as at least a 40-point win for the Bucks. AT LEAST. I was all set to enjoy a nice stress-free game of primo Bucks basketball, I had a comfy seat, I had my food, I had my drinks, I had my little kitty Japurri Purrker looking up at me and…

Grayson Allen 15 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (12/9/2019)

Grayson Allen needs to look to J.J. Redick for inspiration on advancing his career. Redick is a great player now, and has been for quite a while now, but he really kinda sucked for his first few years. So much so that Allen might actually be outpacing Redick at the same point in their career’s….

Ja Morant 26 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/9/2019)

Ja Morant with another “Ja-dropping” performance. He keeps having games like this, where he puts up a lot of stats (which is cool but anyone can do that) but also has a large amount of genuinely impressive plays (which is cooler and isn’t something everyone can do). Other rookies may have single games like this,…

Dario Saric 20 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2019)

REVENGE GAME ALERT! REVENGE GAME ALERT! DARIOS SARIC JUST HAD A REVENGE GAME AGAINST THE TIMBERWOLVES! I didn’t realize the revenginess of this performance by Dario Saric initially. I don’t know why it is, but Saric’s time in Minnesota was not notable at all for me. I barely remember anything that happened during it. I…

Nemanja Bjelica 17 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (12/9/2019)

One game after humiliating and emasculating “superstar” Luka Doncic with 30 points and a game-sealing poster dunk right on top of him (okay, the dunk was unguarded and kinda wimpy, but I’m imagining him postering Doncic and it’s a really awesome mental image and I want you all to join me), Nemanja Bjelica has done…

Kelly Oubre 24 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2019)

Happy birthday Kelly Oubre! You have, officially, completed 24 FULL revolutions around the Sun since the time you were expelled rudely from your mother without any say in the matter. Consume the cake that has been assigned to you! Drink the alcohol that has been poured for you! Win the basketball game that you were…

Daniel Gafford 14 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/9/2019)

Daniel Gafford’s 21-point performance a few weeks ago will love forever in my mind for two reasons. Reason one: it was frickin’ 21 points for a rookie who had done nothing but score zero points/get DNPs for the first 15 games of his career. Reason two: it was against the Bucks, and why do scrubs…
