The Timberwolves and Cavaliers must not have gotten the memo that this is the year 2019 and that they are NBA teams, because they ignored the offense-heavy direction the league has been going in recently in this game. 94-88 in the Cav’s favor was the final score, not the most pathetic score ever, but depressingly…

Bogdan Bogdanovic 22 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
Another game, another disappointing loss for the Kings, this time against the similarly-hapless Suns. If the result had been switched, I’d be saying “Another game, another disappointing loss for the Suns”, but one of these teams had to win (so claims the NBA, who apparently don’t believe in ties), and thus subvert expectations. If there…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 25 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
The Warriors and Mavericks apparently just set a record for most combined three-pointers in a game with 46. The Warriors had 18 and the Mavs had 24. D’Angelo Russell contributed the most three-pointers with nine of them (and don’t worry too much about the apparently “serious” injury he suffers in this video; he returned to…
Read MoreAaron Holiday 25 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
This game was, according to sources on the internet I trust very much, the first time in NBA history that three brothers had shared the court together. Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday, and Jrue Holiday, like I needed to tell you their names. We had recently had an Antetokounmpo trio who were all active but didn’t…
Read MorePatrick McCaw 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
Patrick McCaw has gained a small amount of notoreity among ultra-casual NBA fans for winning three championships in a row. The casuals get to chuckle to themselves while saying stuff like “is Patrick McCaw the GOAT?” and “the Lakers won’t win the chip until they sign McCaw” and “hurr durr HURRDUURHURRRRRR”. The only thing worse…
Read MoreWill Barton 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
When I saw that Will Barton had 20 points and 7 assists, my main reaction was to scratch my right armpit. That might not seem like a notable action, but as a reminder for those who may have forgotten: Left pit = pit of goodness. Right pit = pit of badness. The fact that I…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz 13 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2019)
Brett Brown opened the door of his Orlando-area hotel room and was surprised to find that the bedside lamp was turned on. He was always very careful not to leave lights on where he didn’t need them. As he walked over to turn it off, mentally noting to let the housekeeping management know that they…
Read MoreAaron Holiday 17 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2019)
It was really nice of the Pacers to let Aaron Holiday attempt the potential game-winning shot. There’s not really a “go-to” scorer for them, a guy who for sure is going to get the last shot in a close game, all of the people on the roster are basically the same in quality when it…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2019)
Brook Lopez’ emergence into a high-volume three-point-launching trebuchet, raining projectiles with length and precision onto the craniums of his foes, was one of the more fun storylines of last season. But With his shooting percentage from behind the arc taking a fairly dramatic plunge so far this year, I can feel safe in suggesting that…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2019)
18 points and 17 rebounds in only 24 minutes for Ersan Ilyasova, a dominating performance which was curtailed by the ineptitude of the Hawks (I bet they were wishing they had a beast like Ilyasova right now) and the unfortunate unwritten rules of sportsmanship which state that good players don’t get to keep playing in…
