Danuel House 17 Points Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

Oh, to be a role-player on the Houston Rockets. There is no pressure to do anything; in fact, doing anything is actively discouraged. Just stand there while James Harden does his thing, maybe move around a bit if you’re feeling up to it, and wait until whatever gimmick defense the other team is using to…

Jeff Green 22 Points Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

Jeff Green, somehow, is still only 33 years old. I think the fact that he was a rookie with the Supersonics is distorting my view of him. I mean, he was on the Supersonics. You know, that team that was in Seattle a million years ago? And if he’s been around long enough to be…

Duncan Robinson 21 Points Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

Obviously nobody wanted the NBA season to be suspended for four months, but there can still be some good things that come out of it. Specifically, the good thing that I want to come out of it is footage of Duncan Robinson shooting three-pointers in an empty gym five hours a day for four months…

Frank Mason 11 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

So Frank Mason is totally gonna be out of the league starting next season, but I’m glad he’s getting to play a little bit for the Bucks during this miraculous period of time where a.) the games don’t matter and b.) Eric Bledsoe is still coronaed. Every fan wants their team’s fifteenth man to succeed…

Ivica Zubac 18 Points Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

Everybody comments on the fact that the Rockets have taken the concept of “small ball” to its absurd conclusion, but nobody really mentions that the Clippers are on their way to doing something similar. Or if they are mentioning it, I’m not seeing it because I don’t actually read any NBA journalism other than my…

Myles Turner 21 Points Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

Fans of Myles Turner are despairing this season because he’s shooting the worst he’s ever shot from the field in his career (45.6%) while also scoring the lowest PPG per game since his rookie season (11.9). And fans of the Pacers are despairing because he decided to start doing this in the first year of…

Garrett Temple 19 Points Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

Can anybody give me a good reason why I would even try to write something insightful for this video description when I know for a fact (a god-damn FACT) that this video will never even get close to 500 views? One good reason at all? (Maintaining the universally excellent quality of my video descriptions is…

Chris Chiozza 10 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

I think I figured out why the Nets commentary crew keeps bringing up cheese and cheese-related puns during the broadcast. It’s because Chris Chiozza’s name, if you mangle the pronunciation of it, sort of sounds like it contains the word “cheese”. And that’s it. If they’re actually gonna keep doing this, which I hope they…

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot just keeps setting new career highs. First he scored 24 five days ago, which tied a career high (so I lied about him “setting” a career high, since “setting” is not the same as “tieing”). Now he’s scored 26, which outright sets a career high in an unambiguous way. What’s next? 28? 30?…
