Matthew Dellavedova 12 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2020)

This season has been quite a fall from grace for the former Finals MVP Matthew Dellavedova. Yes, I know that technically, Dellavedova did not get enough votes to win Finals MVP. But that’s only because the voters were blinded by star power and failed to see who the real catalyst of the Cavaliers was. He…

Juan Hernangomez 17 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2020)

Just like his ex-Nugget teammate Malik Beasley, Juan Hernangomez is currently playing for another NBA contract. Unlike Beasley, however, there was no guarantee going into this season that another contract was coming Hernangomez’s way. He played decently in Denver, but he rarely got big minutes and he was not the most consistent shooter. His level…

Cam Reddish 14 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2020)

In the course of making all these Cam Reddish highlight videos, I have learned that any mildly negative thing I say about him will be construed as “hating”. Just stating the plain facts with my trademark sarcastic spin on things makes me a “hater”. Ignoring Reddish’s defensive contributions, given my lack of interest in any…

Malik Beasley 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/26/2020)

Malik Beasley has been such a relentless scorer for his entire (short) tenure with the Timberwolves that my opinion of him is starting to subtly shift. When he was on the Nuggets, I was like “he’s a medium-volume three-point shooting role-player who can also dunk”. Then, when he got to the Timberwolves and saw immediate…

Kendrick Nunn 24 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/26/2020)

Kendrick “Nunn So Vile” Nunn cannot be blamed for the Heat’s embarrassing loss to the Timberwolves last night. Not only did he lead the team in points, but he led the team in several other “intangible” stats as well: -Heart. Nunn showed the most heart of anybody on his team. (Note that I equate “heart”…

Austin Rivers 23 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2020)

The positions of “first banana” and “second banana” on offense for the Rockets are well accounted for. James Harden and Russell Westbrook might switch the titles between them depending on who’s feeling hot, but there’s no debating that those are the two main dudes when it comes to scoring the ball. But then the question…

Dillon Brooks 22 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2020)

Dillon Brooks, early this month, got a three-year, 35 million dollar contract extension with the ‘Zlies. He “got the bag”, to use the parlance of our times. But before the ink was even try on the contract, Brooks started sucking. Big time. Brooks is a scorer. He doesn’t do much on the court besides take…

Rui Hachimura 17 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2020)

I want the Wizards to continue being an all-scoring, no-defense team going forward. That’s not the path to playoff success by any means (cue the fuzzy, but happy, memories of the Wizards owning the Raptors year after year in the playoffs), but it IS the path to having an entertaining-as-heck product to put on the…

Devonte’ Graham 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/26/2020)

If you haven’t been paying close attention to the Hornets lately (and why would you unless you’re a sadomasochistic Hornets fan), let me fill you in on a little bit of secret knowledge that isn’t even that secret anymore: Devonte’ Graham has been in a slump for the better part of two months. Coincidentally (or…

Allonzo Trier 15 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2020)

There must be something wrong with Allonzo Trier that prevents him from getting minutes even on the lowliest-of-the-lowly Knicks. He proved his mettle as an undrafted rookie last season, but his role has went from “minimal” that season to “non-existent” this season. You would think that the Knicks would be so desperate for scoring from…
