Paul Millsap came very close to achieving the dreaded “Tony Snell” statline in this game by putting up a neat line of 21/1/0/0/0. The only thing he did other than score was get a rebound. One rebound. Somewhere, Tony Snell is shaking his head in disappointment. It was an okay rebound. Troy Daniels missed a…

Steven Adams 20 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
I’ve been thinking about it (because what else would I be thinking about?), and I don’t see any reason why a Chris Paul/Steven Adams pick-and-roll wouldn’t be successful 100 percent of the time. Literally 100 percent of the time. Paul is such a good passer, and Adams is such a good finisher, it’s a play…
Read MoreWesley Matthews 19 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
The opportunity for Wesley Matthews to get in a pair of REVENGE GAMES back to back was squandered when he was made inactive against the Knicks yesterday. His stint with the Knicks was short (two games) and rather pathetic (4-for-19 shooting), but it existed, and I’m sure he’s mad at them for waiving him so…
Read MoreRondae Hollis-Jefferson 18 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has decided the type of player he is going to be in the NBA. He was flirting with trying to be a scorer for a bit there in Brooklyn, taking jumpers and generally being aggressive (-ish) looking for his shot. But with a jumper as borked as his is, he’s basically never going…
Read MoreBismack Biyombo 18 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
There was some minor concern, when he was drafted, that Bismack Biyombo wasn’t the age he said he was. He was 18 at the time of the draft, but there were rumors that he could be older. As old as 26, apparently. There’s no way he would be able to make himself 8 years younger…
Read MoreDevonte’ Graham 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
Devonte’ Graham is great from three. One of the best in the whole league, he’s basically the black Stephen Curry playing where Curry should really be playing if he had any respect for his heritage. He’s got the volume. He’s got the percentages. When it comes to launching from deep, hardly anyone does it better….
Read MoreJalen Brunson 21 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
The best thing about carefully-curated highlight videos is that if they are curated hard enough, all sense of context is removed and the only thing that remains is pure basketball. Just balls going in holes. That’s the real, primal reason that these videos get watched; everything else is just our stupid monkey brains trying to…
Read MoreChris Boucher Career High 21 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
Chris Boucher checked in to this game with four and a half minutes left in the third quarter and the Raptors down by 27. This is the point where I tell you what the situation of the game was when he checked out, but he didn’t check out. He played the rest of the way…
