With the Knicks being so bad and all (yeah I know they’ve been a bit better recently that doesn’t mean they’re not still bad), you would think that Damyean Dotson would be getting a bit more run. In case the Knicks coaching staff can’t figure it out for themselves, which wouldn’t surprise me at all,…

Michael Carter-Williams 15 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
Everyone’s loving the currently-happening career resurgence of Markelle Fultz in Orlando. And I agree: it’s very fun. But you know what would be even more fun? A career resurgence of Michael Carter-Williams in Orlando. The similarities to their respective situations are there. The only difference is that MCW started off “good” (notice the quotation marks…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 24 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
Domantas Sabonis has to be an All-Star this year, right. RIGHT? I keep looking at all the bigs in the East and from my point of view, there’s NO WAY that he can be left off the team. But that’s me thinking that. I’m biased. If it were up to me Devonte’ Graham would be…
Read MoreEric Gordon 25 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
The ideal Rockets offense, the one that optimizes everything, is for James Harden to dribble in place somewhere around the top of the arc for however long he wants (as long as it’s within the 24 seconds allotted by the NBA) before shooting a stepback three. Clearly, Eric Gordon doesn’t fit in this type of…
Read MoreLuke Kornet 15 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
In the three-point era, there are just fourteen seven-footers who have shot below 40% for their careers while playing a minimum of fifty games. Luke “The Korn Dog” Kornet is one of the players found in that list of dubious distinction. The Korn Dog gets a pass because he’s a three-point specialist, but it’s only…
Read MoreP.J. Dozier 15 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
P.J. “The Bulldozier” Dozier is quickly establishing himself as a rotation player for the Nuggles. After playing two games for the Thunder (two years ago) and six games for the Celtics (last year), I considered his chances at being a long-term fixture in the NBA as being extremely remote. And that’s not a dig at…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
It was refreshing to hear Doris Burke mention at the end of this broadcast that Fred VanVleet is playing exactly how you’d expect a guy seeking out his next NBA contract to play. VanVleet has a legit chance to be 100% completely financially set for life if he just plays really good for this one…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 17 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
Furkan Korkmaz scoring the pleasant-but-not-really-mind-blowing amount of seventeen points is starting to become a crisis. This is the fifth time this season he’s scored exactly seventeen, and he’s only scored more than that three times. I know he’s not doing it on purpose, but it really feels like he’s making a specific and coordinated effort…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 22 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
Reggie Jackson’s back, people! The Pistons are finally whole again and they can make that playoff push that we’ve all been waiting for! They don’t have to play Bruce Brown out of position anymore! With Reggie Jackson and his steady PG play back in the fold, playoffs are not only a possibility, but they’re a…
Read MoreZion Williamson 22 Points/4 Threes Pelicans Debut Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
With 5:23 left in the fourth quarter, after several false starts, the Pelicans subbed Zion Williamson out of the game. He had just scored 17 straight points, including four three-pointers, in the span of three minutes, bringing his team back from a 10-point deficit against the Spurs. He never got put back in the game,…
