Just give Ja Morant the ROTY of the Year award. Just give it to him, it’s not even close right now. But give it to him quick, because any day now Zion Williamson is going to come back and even though he’s at most going to play 50 percent of the season, people are going…

Maxi Kleber 18 Points/3 Blocks/1 Fight Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
I feel somewhat guilty for advertising the skirmish Maxi “Maxi Pad” Kleber got into as a “fight”, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that young males (the NBA’s, and thus my, average viewer demographic) LOVE watching fights. NBA videos purporting to contain footage of NBA players fighting routinely draw the…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
Shabazz Napier scoring 20 or more in three straight games after being booty for the whole season prior is really fun and exciting, but you know what would be even more fun and exciting? A lot of things, but the one I’m thinking of is if it was Shabazz Muhammad was scoring 20 or more…
Read MoreDzanan Musa 14 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
It’s great the Dzanan Musa has confidence in his three-point stroke, but maybe he should chill out on those a little bit. This is the real NBA, this isn’t the G-League where you can do whatever you want and it’s fine. Granted, he was 2-of-3 tonight, a blistering performance that brings him to nearly 21…
Read MoreLonnie Walker 16 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
If you thought that Lonnie Walker’s heroic/clutch/tear-inducing 28-point performance against the Rockets a month ago was going to put him in line for huge minutes, well, I wish had your general optimism and positive outlook on life. Because everyone who has been watching the Spurs during their dynasty knows that Gregg Popovich is not so…
Read MoreNaz Reid 13 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
I haven’t seen a whole lot of him (no one has, unless you’re on of those perverts who actually watches G-League games), but from what I can tell, Naz Reid is basically the same caliber of scorer as Karl-Anthony Towns. Maybe slightly worse, but that’s because he’s a rookie playing in the fifth game of…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 30 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
I don’t know the details of Terry Rozier’s upbringing in Cleveland, but must have sucked in ways directly attributable to the state of his hometown, because his recent play with the Hornets indicates that he HATES the city. Which is fair and understandable. LeBron hates it too, and that guy is the GOAT2 (Kareem is…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 30 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
Here’s the deal: Jeremy “Where’s The Lamb Sauce” Lamb, in this game, had a BETTER game than Michael “Walking Injury Report” Porter Jr. And you know why that is? Because he’s the BETTER player. That’s the deal, I just said it for everyone to hear. I can’t unsay it, but even if I could, I…
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. 25 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
Michael Porter Jr. strode into the locker room with an aura of earned confidence to find a gathering of jubilant teammates. After graciously accepting their whooping applause and numerous slaps on the back, things quieted down. The assembled Nuggets players seemed to be waiting for their rookie to make some sort of acknowledgement. “You guys…
