https://youtu.be/XBOjC0vJoCQ 24 minutes, 24 points for Enes Kanter in this game. Plus 12 rebounds, 8 offensive. A nice, even set of statisticles for “Mr. Rebounds” (as Warriors color commentator Kelenna Azubuike called him, I would never use such a lame, uncreative nickname). If you’re any good at math at all, you can easily figure out…

Daniel Theis 14 Points/1 Game-Winning Block Full Highlights (1/3/2020)
It’s too bad that Daniel Theis’ impressive defense on Trae Young on the last real possession of this game was overshadowed by the fact that: 1. Marcus Smart decided to try to steal Theis’ glory even though he didn’t do anything on the play in question by pulling the “Iverson stepover” on Trae Young but…
Read MoreKevin Huerter 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/3/2020)
When the Hawks were up 29-11 in the first quarter against the Celtics, I was ready to drink the soothing nectar of Celtics fan tears. To get blown out so thoroughly by a team that is usually the one getting blown out would not only shatter the faith that Celtics fans had in their team,…
Read MoreDanny Green 25 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/3/2020)
Danny Green has always been low usage, but when he’s in the starting lineup with two other superstars (LeBron James and JaVale McGee) it seems like his usage somehow gets even lower. Statlines of 8/2/1 or similar, accrued in 25 minutes, are not uncommon for Green. He has just three 20-point games on the season,…
Read MoreBobby Portis 20 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)
I just want to say something, maybe it’s not going to be about Bobby Portis, but this is my video, I can put whatever I want in the description and no one can stop me, so there: Red Gatorade isn’t even good. To clarify, since there may be multiple varieties of Gatorade that are a…
Read MoreMarcus Morris 25 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)
Marcus Morris has cooled off from three, but he’s still sitting at around 45 percent from deep on the season, and we’re almost half-way through the season. The REALLY nerdy advanced-stat nerds will claim that even a full-season sample size is not enough to accurately judge the quality of a three-point shooter, but I remain…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 25 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)
Damn, what even happened here? The Magic (bad team, okay, mediocre team) just seriously put the hurt on the Heat (good team). I’m going to have to find some time to rewatch this one, if only to see the Heat score a whopping SIX points in the entire fourth quarter (and two of those were…
Read MoreAron Baynes 20 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)
The Suns’ hot start, fueled by the excellent play of Aron Baynes, was always unsustainable. We knew that. But is it wrong to want to believe? Baynes got injured, the Suns immediately started losing a fair amount of games, he came back, and somehow they started losing games at an even quicker pace. Baynes himself…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 29 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)
I don’t know for sure, but it seems like Kelly Oubre’s overall cockiness has grown quite a bit as the season and his career has gone on. I don’t remember him being so flamboyant with the ‘Zards, maybe I’m just blocking it out like I did with most ‘Zard-related stuff from around that time, but…
Read MoreGarrison Mathews 18 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)
On the surface, this may not seem like as sweet of a performance by Garrison Mathews as his out-of-nowhere 28-point game a few days ago, but do not be fooled by the raw point totals. I repeat: do NOT be fooled. Practitioners of the pseudoscience known as “mathematics” will have you believe that that performance…
