Turkish players in the NBA haven’t been doing so well recently: Furkan Korkmaz, after those back-to-back 30-point games in early February, has gone 30-of-84 from the field right when when the Sixers, hit hard by the injuries to Simmons and Embiid, could use some more scoring. Ersan Ilyasova has partially fallen out of the rotation…

Avery Bradley 24 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
Avery Bradley’s primary offensive skill, which is to handle the ball, wait for a screen, and then pick-and-pop into a fifteen-to-twenty-two-foot jumpshot, is not seeing much use now that he’s on the Lakers and always sharing the court with a player who can make a legitimate claim at being top five in the NBA (one…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
Markelle Fultz has had his share of injury issues. He had that “Thoracic Outlet Syndrome” (I cannot define any of those three words) that was allegedly destroying his shooting form. Lately he’s been dealing with cramping issues during games, which hasn’t caused him to miss many games, but has taken him out of some games…
Read MoreDuncan Robinson 23 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
If James Harden keep sucking dingaling on three-pointers and Duncan Robinson continues to maintain his blistering 45% mark from the deepzone, could Robinson theoretically end the season with the most three-point makes out of anybody? And if he did, in fact, achieve that goal, would that be the most unexpected instance of a player leading…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 30 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
I specifically took Tim Hardaway Jr. OFF my exclusion list because he was sucking booty to start this season. During the months of October and November, he would regularly score in the single-digits, and if he did manage to stumble into a double-digit game, it would be in the low double-digits. He was, at that…
Read MoreMikal Bridges 21 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
Mikal Bridges played almost 43 minutes in this one. I, as a Bucks fan, am not saying that in a butthurt attempt to make his point total look worse. I’m just noting that in order to illustrate the fact that the Suns’ coaching staff likes him enough to play him almost an entire game like…
Read MoreAron Baynes 24 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
Despite the Bucks’ incredibly bad start, they still could’ve won this game if Aron “All of Australia” Baynes simply did not exist at all. A universe without Baynes would be significantly worse (for example, we wouldn’t have Tommy Heinsohn’s immortal quote about Baynes in the SHOWAH), but as of right now, it would be a…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 27 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
The ‘Zards: a team with a “big three”? That is the question of the day, and the answer is a resounding “YES!”. Every team in the NBA either has or wishes they had a big three, and you can put Washington into the “has” category. The other question is, who comprises that big three? A…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 25 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
I know that Dairis Bertans (Davis’ brother for the uneducated yokels out there) already got a chance in the league and didn’t make the most of it, but with the way Davis is shooting (how many threes did he hit tonight even, let me check the title, oh yeah, what a beast), any team who’s…
Read MoreD.J. Augustin 24 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
It doesn’t seem like anyone cares too much about D.J. Augustin these days, and I don’t mean to imply that I do (I certainly do not and resent the accusation), but it is kind of cool that he’s not even 6 feet tall but has managed such a long and successful (kinda) NBA career. It’s…
