The only good thing about having to make this video is that it spared me from having to watch the Bucks get 77 points dropped on them in the first half against the Suns. I’m kind of annoyed about having to make yet another Malik Beasley highlight package but that annoyance is surely insignificant compared to the annoyance (transitioning into rage) that I would be feeling if I had to see Devin Booker hit shot after shot while having a supremely punchable face.
I know I’ve repeatedly stated that I enjoyed the Bucks more back when they sucked, but that doesn’t mean that I have to enjoy them sucking now that they’re an actually good team. Does that make sense? Probably not.
But this vid isn’t about the Bucks or Devin Booker or anything like that. It’s about Beasley, and how he managed to score 21 points by statpadding his way to a whole bunch of points late in the fourth quarter. It was looking like maybe he was finally going to have a subpar game (maybe this one was still subpar despite the point total), but no. Why do players even try when they’re down by more than 8 points at any point in the fourth quarter? So much statpadding going on in the NBA these days.
