While making highlights from this game, I couldn’t help but notice that the Little Caesars Arena (it should be called the Jet’s Pizzadome but apparently nobody thought to consult me on this) was looking empty. Like, really empty. Fan apathy towards the Pistons is at an all-time high with Griffin out, Rose out, and Drummond…

Jordan McRae 15 Points Pistons Debut Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
In the grand scheme of Jordan McRae’s season, fifteen points isn’t all that much. He scored more than fifteen points on eight separate occasions with the Wizards. Among those games were two 29-point games as well as a 35-point outburst that resulted in his readmission into the Hall of the Thirty Point Scorers (shoutout Carlos…
Read MoreMalik Beasley 24 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
My dream is for Malik Beasley to establish himself as a legit 20 PPG per game scorer for the Timberwolves not just for the end of this season but for future seasons as well. He will be the perfect second banana to KAT in a way that Andrew Wiggins just was never able to be….
Read MoreZion Williamson 21 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
You shouldn’t really need to watch this video, because if you’re any sort of basketball fan at all, you already watched this Mavericks versus Pelicans game in its entirety, this highly-anticipated matchup between two of the league’s biggest young stars, Zion Williamson and Luka Doncic, thus negating the need to watch a concisely-edited video showing…
Read MoreCoby White 26 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
Peep Coby White’s last six games: 33, 33, 35, 22, 19, and now 26 points. That’s 28 PPG per game over a six game stretch. Off the bench. Yeah, six games isn’t a lot to draw meaningful conclusions from, except we use just seven games to determine who the NBA championship belongs to so I…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 21 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
In contrast to Davis Bertans’ last game, where he scored eighteen points on six three pointers, Bertans displayed a bit more versatility in this one, scoring 21 on a wider range of shot types while still canning a couple of trademark three-pointers with the perfect release. In the description for that video I alleged that…
Read MoreChristian Wood Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
It’s easy to be on the Christian Wood hype train now that Wood has been unleashed following the Andre Drummond trade. He’s regularly putting up efficient, high-scoring performances that might even be introducing his name to casual fans. Okay, that’s probably not true, since most casuals couldn’t name a single player currently on the Pistons’…
Read MoreSemi Ojeleye Career High 22 Points/1 Injury Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
This is the first twenty-burger of Semi Ojeleye’s two-and-a-half-year-long career. It’s also the first time he’s really gotten close to twenty points; his next-highest game was seventeen points at the end of last season when the Celtics put out a lineup whose best player was Terry Rozier by a mile. This game is a bit…
Read MoreJosh Jackson 19 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
Everybody loves a good redemption arc. Whether it’s in a TV show, a movie series, in real life, or in sports (which are realer than real life), it’s hard for the common man not to root for the guy (or girl) who fell from grace and then clawed their way back up to prominence. The…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 35 Points/0 Rebounds/0 Assists/0 Steals/0 Blocks Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
Terrence Ross was just three points away from setting the NBA record for most points scored without recording a rebound, assist, steal, or block. That record is held by Allan Houston, who dropped 37 in that fashion back in 2000. That record is basically the holy grail for scoring-only players in the mold of Ross,…
