Brandon Goodwin 14 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2020)

Brandon Goodwin being a passable backup point guard should be a boon for the Hawks, since, as far as I can tell, they haven’t had a backup PG on the roster at all. Like, literally nobody who fits the conventional definition of a “backup PG” was on the roster to start the season. They have…

Willy Hernangomez 15 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2020)

The Hornets’ center situation is not in a good spot right now. They have some nice-ish talent at the guard and forward spots, but their centers? Eh, I guess Cody Zeller is alright. And Bismack Biyombo is having a career year which means he’s scoring two points per 36 instead of 0.5 points per 36….

Taj Gibson 19 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2020)

When it was revealed during the course of this game that Taj Gibson is only averaging four PPG per game this season, I’m not gonna lie to you all, my mind was blown a little bit. It wasn’t, like, serious mind-blowage, but when I heard that stat, it was like I temporarily disconnected from reality…

Aaron Holiday 18 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/10/2020)

Between Aaron Holiday, T.J. McConnell, Edmond Sumner (has had a few decent games), Naz Mitrou-Long (had one decent game) and Victor Oladipo coming back soon, it doesn’t seem like the Pacers even need Malcolm Brogdon at all. They can win games with him, sure, but they can also easily win games without him. So they…

Doug McDermott 16 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2020)

Doug McDermott scored sixteen points against the Bulls. He used to play for the Bulls. You know what that means! REVENGE GAME!!! This REVENGE GAME had extra-large amounts of REVENGE because the trade that the Bulls made to send McDermott to the Thunder didn’t make sense then and it really doesn’t make sense now. In…

Omari Spellman 17 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2020)

After compiling this highlight video, I am comfortable in asserting my assertion that Omari Spellman is OFFICIALLY the next Marreese Speights for the Warriors. Spellman have it all. Well, he doesn’t quite have it all, but he have all that Speights have: -Three point shooting -Big but doesn’t play like a big -Chonky -Dunking ability…

Terry Rozier 23 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2020)

This performance from Terry Rozier is more in line with what I expected he would be doing when the season started. Leading his team in shots attempted? Check. Leading his team in points? Check. Taking tough midrange jimbos because none of his teammates can do anything? Check. Pulling up from three just because? Check. Sitting…

Bryn Forbes 21 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2020)

Bryn Forbes was quite close to pulling off the “Tony Snell” with a 21/2/0/0/0 statline last night. All that stood in the way of him and a perfect, unbroken row of zeros was two rebounds that he could have let other teammates grab. However, I will give him a pass for this because he got…

Jonas Valanciunas 21 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2020)

Long-term, or even short-term, subscribers to my channel will know that I am obsessed with creating nicknames for players. If a player doesn’t have a nickname, or I deem their current nickname to be inadequate for whatever reason, I don’t rest until a new nickname is created. “Lithuanian Lightning” is a decent nickname for Valanciunas,…

Dillon Brooks 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/10/2020)

You know how a lot of teams have a “big three” which consists of their three best players? It’s such a common concept that it’s wormed its way into front offices, where suit-wearking executives feverishly scribble on whiteboards in conference rooms, trying to figure out ways to improve their team’s “big three” or ways to…
