Donte DiVincenzo 17 Points Full Highlights (8/13/2020)

I was really pleased with how Donte DiVincenzo played during the “regular” regular season. His shooting was drastically improved from year one to year two, and so was his everything else. But now, in the “bubble” regular season, DiVincenzo hasn’t been playing as well. In particular, his shooting has fallen off a cliff, and that…

Frank Mason 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (8/13/2020)

After these last couple games from Frank Mason, I have changed my tune. No longer do I think he is some absolute fringe scrub who doesn’t deserve to be on an NBA roster any more than any of the other 400 G-Leaguers that are waiting for their chance. Now I think that he is an…

Ja Morant Triple Double 12 Pts/13 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (8/13/2020)

Ja Morant and Jonas Valanciunas (a combo affectionately known to me Jorant Jalanciunas) each recorded a triple-double in this game. That is an exceedingly rare circumstance; I can’t find an authoritative source, but I did find a non-authoritative source (a Reddit thread) which alleged that there were ten such occurrences in NBA history, the most…

Dillon Brooks 31 Points Full Highlights (8/13/2020)

Am I understanding this situation right? Dillon Brooks was pretty much solely responsible for the Grizzlies’ slipping playoff chances up until this game. Every loss the ‘Zlies had in The Bubb is pretty much directly attributable to him and him alone. If any other players on the ‘Zlies appeared to play poorly, it was because…

Jonas Valanciunas Triple Double 26 Pts/19 Rebs/12 Asts Full Highlights (8/13/2020)

Four days ago, Jonas Valanciunas recorded the stunning statline of 0/10/1 in 25 minutes, going 0-of-2 from both the field and the line. That was also the ‘Zlies only win in The Bubb up until that point, a fact which I am writing off as purely coincidental. My question is, how does a guy who…

Thomas Bryant 26 Points Full Highlights (8/13/2020)

I, like many others, thought that, with the lack of a crowd in these bubble games, we would hear a lot more of what’s really going on on the hardwood. Straight from the players’ sailorly mouths. Loudly. Repeatedly. Explicitly. The NBA was too smart for us, though, realizing the implications that an unfiltered audio experience…

Dion Waiters 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (8/13/2020)

Oops, totally forgot to put something here for this Dion Waiters vid, that’s what I get for being so hyped about Thomas Bryant (Lakers fans punching the air rn) I guess. Why waste time telling everyone what I really think about Waiters when I could be immortalizing yet another dominant game by Bryant? Smart people…

Jabari Parker 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (8/13/2020)

I’d take Jabari Parker, RIGHT NOW, on the Bucks. The Kings season is over, right? Everyone’s saying they’re done, so I’m going to believe them. That means that Parker’s services aren’t being used by anyone right now, just rotting away, going to waste. Why shouldn’t the Bucks pick him up? Your answer to that question…

Nemanja Bjelica 15 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (8/13/2020)

Nemanja Bjelica’s career-high in assists before this game? Eight, set earlier this season. Nemanja Bjelica’s career-high in assists after this game? Thirteen, set just now. A quick bit of fancy mathematics has revealed to me a startling yet unavoidable truth: this performance by Bjelica is roughly equivalent to Wilt Chamberlain scoring 160 points. Now tell…

Bogdan Bogdanovic 27 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (8/13/2020)

The end of another Kings season… does anyone else feel like they’re about to cry? Even if, by and large, the whole season kinda sucked, it’s still the end. That’s it. Over. Finito. Go home everyone. No more Kings basketball. Not for another… however long the offseason is going to be. As we speak, the…
