Bruce Brown 17 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/9/2020)

The idea of Bruce Brown probably works better on teams that aren’t the Pistons. A point guard with elite (yeah, I went there) defense who can pass a bit and doesn’t really want to (or, in some cases, simply can’t) score? If you’ve got a superstar wing or something, Brown probably seems like a good…

Darius Garland 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/9/2020)

Has Darius Garland turned the proverbial corner? Has he stopped playing like a slug and started playing like a 5th overall pick? Has he he figured out the intricacies of the NBA game and will now start playing with pose and confidence? I don’t know about all of that, but he was pretty good tonight….

Tristan Thompson Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (1/9/2020)

Tristan Thompson could feel that he was lying down on a hard surface. Why would that be the case? The chances of him going to sleep somewhere so uncomfortable were remote. He decided to open his eyes rather than stubbornly keep them shut. The sight that greeted his opened eyes was a beautiful, yet confusing,…

Thaddeus Young 18 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2020)

There was a fair amount of optimism for the Bulls heading into the season. It’s not like the fanbase was expecting a championship or anything, but the playoffs seemed like a reasonable goal. One of the reasons for that optimism: the acquisition of Thaddeus Young, glue-guy extraordinaire who has been a solid contributor on (mostly)…

Derrick Jones 18 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2020)

I might need to recalibrate my view of Derrick Jones. 18 points doesn’t seem like a whole lot of points for him, but in reality, it’s only 1 off his career-high 19, which he set last game without me exactly realizing that it was a career-high. For some reason I’ve got this image in my…

Alen Smailagic 10 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2020)

Mike Breen, listen man, I know it sucks having to commentate for the Warriors on ESPN while they’re mired in their worst season in a long time and playing lineups of players that nobody has ever heard of, but could you at least throw in a “BANG!” when Alen Smailagic hits a three to give…

Serge Ibaka 23 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2020)

Not shown in this video: Serge Ibaka committing an away-from-the-play foul on an inbound with seventeen seconds left and the Raptors only up by one. Terry Rozier splashed the free throw and the Hornets kept possession, basically guaranteeing that the game would at least go to overtime if not end in a Hornets victory. Ibaka’s…

Frank Ntilikina 16 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2020)

Frank Ntilkina has been hovering around an average of ten points per 36 minutes all three years he’s been in the league. This season, that puts him at 263 out of 287 players who meet the unknowable qualification criteria for appearing on basketball-reference’s per-36 scoring leaderboards (by the way, Kenrich Williams really sucks). Ntilkina’s shooting…

OG Anunoby 19 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2020)

OFFICIAL PLAYERS WHO GO BY THEIR INITIALS DRAFTED IN THE 2017 DRAFT POWER RANKINGS 1. OG Anunoby. Okay, fine, so “OG” aren’t really his initials. It’s short for Ogugua, which is a name that no American or Canadian could hope to pronounce. But he’s definitely the best player out of this short list of names….
