As far as I’m concerned, Jamal Murray AKA “Jamalways in a Hurry to Chuck the Ball” can stay injured for a long long time, because his scoring-first style of point guard play isn’t needed on this Nuggets team. What’s needed is Monte Morris and his careful shot selection, his precision passing, his small contract, and…

Jaren Jackson Jr. 20 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
I’ve been making Jaren Jackson Jr. highlight videos with such tedious regularity this season that I’m considering spinning off these videos into a new, separate channel devoted solely to him. The tentative name for this new endeavor is Just Jaren Jackson Junior, or JJJJ. Sometimes I feel guilty about flooding my subscribers’ feeds with videos…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 19 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
Doug “The Exderminator” McDermott is one of my sneaky lowkey candidates to get traded at the trade deadline. If you continue reading you will find that my rationale is bolstered by an undeniable soundness of logic which is typical for all of my NBA-related opinions. You think The Exderminator’s role is too small now? Just…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 28 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
When Jeremy Lamb got to the Pacers, I had glorious visions in my mind of him being the #2 option behind Victor Oladipo. “This is it!” I thought to myself giddily. “This season, Lamb is going to score twenty points per game or close to it! Everybody will see what a potent scorer he is!…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis Triple Double 27 Pts/14 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
NBA guards have, within the last few years, realized that if you want rebounds, all you have to do to get them is to stand around next to the basket and grab them. But it has taken longer for NBA bigs to realize that if you want assists, all you have to do is stand…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 19 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
There were some rumors recently of discord in the Clippers’ locker room due to the team underperforming. These were just rumors, and unsubstantiated rumors at that, but it’s not hard to imagine that the players could be a bit frustrated with each other if there’s a perceived lack of teamwork among them. All I’m saying…
Read MoreKevin Huerter 18 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
The slump that Kevin Huerter was in for the first two months of the season is behind us now. It’s in the past. It’s forgotten. After that worrying reversal in development, which defied the “young players will usually get better and not worse” paradigm, the reversal has been unreversed, and Huerter is now back on…
Read MoreTroy Brown 19 Points/1 Half-Court Shot Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
Attention all young basketball players (or NBA players who happen to be watching this video [reveal yourself Luke Babbitt I know you’re out there]): this video is a good example of why you ALWAYS heave up a shot to end a quarter. Sometimes it goes in and your team gets three points closer to winning…
Read MoreZion Williamson 21 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
Is it wrong of me to feel sad that Zion Williamson’s immediate impact on the Pelicans’ ability to win games will directly have a negative effect on the amount of minutes that Jahlil Okafor is going to receive going forward? Of course, I’m glad that Zion is beasting at the high level that everybody was…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 27 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
From a theoretical mathematics perspective (a branch of scholarship which I am intimately familiar with), how much of Kelly Oubre’s 27-point performance was negated by the fact that he committed an offensive foul with fifteen seconds left and the Suns down by three? To set the stage a bit more, Oubre had the ball behind…
