Terry Rozier, in addition to his 20 points and 9 assists (without a turnover, damn, he out-Monted Monte Morris in his own building, the DISRESPECT), had a really sick ankle-breaker on Jamal Murray, so sick that Murray had to exit the game and not return. But this was a different kind of ankle-breaker than you’re…

Mike Muscala 17 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
My fear is that the end result of Mike “Elon Musc” Muscala’s career is going to be him being placed fifth on a list that some garbage clickbait sports website pumps out called “Top 50 Worst Scrubs That LeBron Ever Played With”. Surpassed only my Martynas Adriuskevicius, Kostas Antetokounmpo, Eddie House, and Drew Gooden. He…
Read MorePatty Mills 21 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Now that the Spurs roster is mercifully free of any of the other participants in their dynasty (Gregg Poppovich doesn’t count since he’s not on the roster, and Marco Belinelli doesn’t count because when people think “Spurs dynasty” no one thinks of him), Patty Mills is free to average a career-high in points per game….
Read MoreJarrett Culver 17 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Don’t look now (when people say that phrase it means they actually want you to look so go to basketball-reference right now and check it out), but Jarrett Culver has put together a really nice stretch of games for the Timberwolves. He’s almost on a 10-game stretch of consecutive double-digit scoring performances, and most have…
Read MoreOG Anunoby 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
If OG Anunoby is really going to be the next Kawhi in Toronto, then the Raptors need to realize the value in what they have and start managing his load a little bit more. I’m looking at his game log for the season, and as far as I can tell, he has been load-managed only…
Read MoreNorman Powell 23 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
If the season ended today, Norman Powell wouldn’t be in the illustrious 50/40/90 club. However, he would be in the slightly less illustrious 50/40/80 club thanks to his 50.8% shooting from the field, 40.8% shooting from three, and 83.1% from the free throw line. Oh yeah, and he’s scoring 15 PPG per game, which I…
Read MoreP.J. Dozier 12 Points Nuggets Debut Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Maybe this upcoming admission is going to expose me as a fraud who doesn’t really care about the plight of NBA scrubs at all, but I totally didn’t realize that P.J. Dozier was on the Nuggets. I didn’t even realize he was still in the league. If you had asked me what team he played…
Read MoreMarkieff Morris 23 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Markieff Morris was apparently out for a stretch of games in late December/early January, but I care so little about him that I didn’t even realize. The fact that he was (presumably) injured badly enough to miss significant time is totally new to me. I just assumed he was sucking so much that he wasn’t…
Read MoreSeth Curry 21 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Seth Curry has been shooting comfortably above 40% on three-pointers each of the past three seasons. However, this season, he’s only shooting 39.5% on threes. Somewhere, his brother is sobbing silently. Since I am obsessed with the 40% mark being the differentiator between a “good” shooter and a “great” shooter, I am now regretfully obligated…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 29 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
I’m confused as heck right now. Domantas Sabonis had 25 points in the first half of this game. 25 points! Actually, he had 25 points by the halfway point of the second quarter. He was completely unstoppable at the rim. Nobody on the Timberwolves had the girthage, the meatage, or the thickage to prevent Sabonis…
