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,…

Bogdan Bogdanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
The Kings’ video feed for this game is all wonky with various blips, glitches, and other assorted deformations. At first I couldn’t figure out why it was screwy: the NBA has pretty good quality control when it comes to the broadcasts of the local TV networks who carry the games. However, as I gave the…
Read MoreChristian Wood 23 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
Remember when Christian Wood basically replaced Anthony Davis on the Pelicans last year and did such a good job of it that AD sent a public tweet to LeBron (that was meant to be a DM) that said “if u knew how good that wood kid is, u would be recruiting him and not me….
Read MoreBrandon Goodwin 19 Points/1 Quarter Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
When I say “/1 Quarter” in the title of this video, that is not meant to indicate that Brandon Goodwin literally played only one quarter and didn’t get any time in the rest of the three quarters. It indicates that, when it comes to plays shown in this highlight video, all of them are from…
Read MoreTyler Herro 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
Tyler Herro has been slumping a bit in the past month and, as a fellow white male from Wisconsin, that makes me sad. In fact, I believe that his slump has caused me to personally slump in my own pickup games, but I will take ownership of my own inability to hit shots rather than…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 24 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
When Davis Bertans was out for that stretch of games in late December and early January, I discovered some things about myself that might not have come to the forefront without his extended absence. Basically, I found out that I was counting on Bertans for both my general happiness and my overall mental stability. And…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 26 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
What’s up with local NBA broadcasts showing shots of fans in the crowd after something exciting happens on the court? Seriously. I want to know what they’re thinking because I know what I’m thinking: There’s a reason these people aren’t normally on TV. Is the viewing experience enhanced by the broadcast showing a group of…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 12 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2020)
A Bad Thing has happened to Dwight Powell. A Very Bad Thing. In light of this Bad Thing that happened to Powell, Boban Marjanovic is going to have to be ready to accept an increased role. Even coach Carlisle, who hasn’t shown a willingness to give Marjanovic consistent minutes, can’t escape the reality staring him…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 18 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2020)
Whose idea was it to only schedule one game for a whole night? Was there something else going on where the NBA didn’t want to compete? Was the Super Bowl happening without me being aware of it? Because here’s the deal: when there are no games, there are no highlights. Straight up. The correlation between…
Read MoreJosh Okogie 16 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2020)
You might think that my use of the “Okobie” nickname for Josh Okogie, which draw parallels with the late great Kobe Bean Bryant, is done in jest or in mockery. I assure you that this is not the case. Unlike most of the nicknames I assign players, which are humorous in intent and often intended…
