Glenn Robinson 17 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2019)

NBA historians of the future will wonder what the heck was going on with the Warriors this year, where things went so wrong than Glenn Robinson III led the team in minutes played. This will be so far into the future that they will get him confused with his dad, because what’s a few decades…

Tomas Satoransky 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2019)

What would it take to get Tomas Satoransky to be more aggressive? Alteratively, what would it take to get Zach LaVine to be less aggressive? For the second one, I’m thinking “multi-limb amputation”, and for the first one, “tell him that Zach LaVine got into an accident with a farming implement”. But there’s got to…

Cedi Osman 18 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2019)

Using the precepts of advanced analytics, I have broken down the field goals that Cedi Osman made in this game into three categories. I will then use those categorized field goals to determine whether or not this video was worth making. 1 Jumpshot 1 Turnaround hook/floater 6 Layups (“LAME-ups”) 1 Free Throw Think about it….

Seth Curry 20 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2019)

Seth Curry has hit the twenty point mark in three of his last four games after not reaching it even one time in any of the first 21 games of the season. He’s made 8, 9, and 11 shots in those games after having a season high of six made shots through those first 21…

Bam Adebayo 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2019)

Since I had to drop Nikola Jokic from my channel, I’ve seen a lot less traffic on my videos from Serbs. Sure, there’s still a couple of Serbian NBA players who I show love to (when I think about Nemanja Bjelica, visions of eggplant emojis dance in front of my eyes for some reason), but…

OG Anunoby 19 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2019)

Since OG Anunoby specifically doesn’t have periods in his first name to indicate an initialism, does anybody else pronounce his first name as “Awg”? In my head, it’s pronounced the same as the mostly-forgotten Ogg Vorbis music file format’s extension, which is .ogg. In fact, I’m going to start calling Anunoby “OG Vorbis” from now…

Serge Ibaka 25 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2019)

What I gathered from making this video is that the Kyle Lowry + Serge Ibaka pick-and-roll is absolutely unstoppable. Especially if you’re Andre Drummond. Maybe my judgement is clouded by my amazement, but it really seemed like, every time Ibaka scored, it was because Lowry was finding him in the pick-and-roll. Now that I stop…

Kendrick Nunn 26 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2019)

Finally, someone who agrees with me! Jeff Van Gundy is right: if you bank in a three, and you do any sort of celebration implying that you have skill in making three-pointers, you should get a technical. However, that doesn’t go far enough. In my opinion (which is basically fact at this point, considering how…

Ja Morant 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2019)

Ja Morant’s final points came with seven minutes to go in the third quarter and the Grizzlies up by 21. He did get a few more assists after that, but his scoring stopped entirely, and Memphis ended up losing by four. And that is all I have to say about that. I don’t know what…

Jonas Valanciunas 24 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2019)

Jonas Valanciunas is back on track! People will say he was struggling, and maybe the stats suggest he was struggling, as he had three games of 6, 8, and 6 points all in a row, but it wasn’t him struggling. Trust me on this. It was just a continuation of the trend of him being…
