As usual, there are a lot of storylines going in the NBA right now. An alien viewing our pathetic lithosphere-encased magma ball that we call “Earth” would assume that the point of professional basketball is to be able to view basketball played at the highest level. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth….

Brook Lopez 23 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
To put into perspective how much Brook Lopez’s three-point shooting has fallen off a cliff (I still love him though), here’s a stat for your edification: Amount of times that Brook Lopez hit five or more three-pointers in a single game last season: 9. Amount of times that Brook Lopez hit five or more three-pointers…
Read MoreMalik Monk 19 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
I only was spurred to make this Malik Monk as quickly as I did because I made a Devonte’ Graham video earlier where he assisted on two of Monk’s dunks and I was struck by how devastatingly sick those dunks were. Both of them were absolute assassinations of the rim. I’m surprised Iran didn’t nuke…
Read MoreSeth Curry 26 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Seth Curry was 10/10 from the field in this game once he got done scoring points. He would go on to miss four straight shots without making another, leaving him with “just” 26 points for the game, but that fact only diminishes the quality of this performance slightly, and it doesn’t diminish the quality of…
Read MoreDevonte’ Graham 26 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Are we far enough into Devonte’ “Collateral Grahammage” Graham’s career that we can call this 26-point, 10-assist outing a “vintage” Graham performance? Graham’s been slumping after his extremely hot first month or two of the season, which seems like a very long time ago to me. Now that I think about it, things that happened…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 26 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
I get the feeling that not everybody shares my opinion that Jeremy Lamb has the scoring skills necessary to be the number one option, or at least, the 1.5th option, on a mid-seeded playoff team. And even if there are people out there who agree with me on that point, they’re not very vocal about…
Read MoreTerence Davis 20 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Terence Davis should be a reminder to all GM’s in the league (minus Masai Ujiri, who already knows this) that NBA-caliber talent exists outside of the draft and outside the top levels of foreign leagues. Always do your due diligence on these dudes and you might uncover a hidden gem as the Raptors did with…
Read MoreMatt Thomas 15 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Before this game, Matt Thomas had not made a layup in his NBA career. That sounds so outrageous that you almost can’t believe it, but, unless basketball-reference is lying to me about the nature of his shots this season, you’d better start believing soon, because I’m telling the god-damn truth. That fact becomes slightly less…
Read MoreMalik Beasley 23 Points/7 Threes Timberwolves Debut Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
This performance for Malik Beasley in his first game donning the Timberwolves’ highlighter green and navy blue should come as no surprise for the true, devoted Malik Beasley acolytes out there. Beasley was doing things like this basically ALL of a last season for the Nuggets. Then their roster changed, they had too many good…
Read MoreJordan McLaughlin Career High 24 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
After the Clippers got their rear rends decisively handed to them by Jordan McLaughlin, Malik Beasley, and the rest of the Timberwolves’ hastily-assembled squad of scrublords, how do you think their star players are reacting? Kawhi Leonard: Currently conferring with his uncle on how to fake another injury to force another trade. Not reporting to…
