That’s two games in a row now where Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk has set a career high in points. First it was thirteen, now it’s fifteen. There’s a trend here, that, if followed to its logical conclusion, will result in Mykhailiuk setting a new career high of 100 points in the last game of the season while…

Markelle Fultz Career High 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
It has taken 53 games (wow, not that many) spread out over three seasons (a fairly long time) for Markelle Fultz to score 20 points in an officially-sanctioned regular-season NBA game. An informed observer would’ve noted that it was only a matter of time; prior to tonight, Fultz had had (had had had) eight consecutive…
Read MoreDe’Anthony Melton 16 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
De’Anthony Melton AKA DeMelto Anthony was mostly known last season as one of the point guards on the Suns who attempted to ruin Deandre Ayton’s young career. It wasn’t really Melton’s fault, it was just that the Suns had no starting-quality point guards, which resulted in a carousel of starters: Melton started the most games…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes 20 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
After Dewayne Dedmon had a good game somewhat recently, I thought to myself, “This is it. Dedmon is finally going to start playing well again and chip away at the minutes that Richaun Holmes has earned for himself.” Sometimes my thoughts are those of a fool, and this time was one of those times. How…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 18 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
I knew that Nemanja Bjelica had been an old rookie by NBA standards, having spent his early career dominating Europe rather than getting marginalized by ignorant coaches here in the States, but I didn’t realize that he’s currently 31 years old. That’s old! Given the average trajectory of NBA players, he’s either currently near the…
Read MoreDe’Andre Hunter 18 Points/1 Injury Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
As far as I can tell, the injury that De’Andre Hunter suffered tonight is a career-ender. Sorry to be so blunt about it, but that’s how I see it. Hunter left this game in the fourth quarter, clutching his hand, and he didn’t return. And since the injury, he hasn’t played in a SINGLE game….
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
Lithuanians all across the world (but mostly in Lithuania) had surely circled this game on their calendar as one of the most important games to watch this season. Domantas Sabonis versus Jonas Valanciunas, the battle of the only two Lithuanians who matter in the NBA. If you think I’m slighting Ignas Brazdeikis, I am. I…
Read MoreDamian Jones Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
The early results of the Hawks’ “Damian Jones as starting center” experiment were good. In his first game as a starter, the Hawks beat the Nuggets and I assume Jones just absolutely manhandled Nikola Jokic with his superior athleticism and movement abilities. After that success, though, the experiment kind of went off the rails. Perhaps…
Read MoreEric Paschall 24 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
If you include his assists (which were actually pretty good for a big guy, next Jokic??????), Eric Paschall accounted for almost half of the Warriors’ points tonight. Imagine if he hadn’t been around, or if the Warriors had drafted the average player drafted 41st overall (who would’ve scored, like, 5 at most). This was already…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 23 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
The Suns were down by 7 with a minute left against the Hornets. Here’s what happened: -Frank Kaminsky layup and-one -Frank Kaminsky missed free throw -Frank Kaminsky offensive rebound -Kelly Oubre three -Kelly Oubre block on a pathetic attempt by Bismack Biyombo -Kelly Oubre three -Hornets timeout The Suns were up by 1 with nineteen…
