The Celtics’ season is over. Now would be a good time to provide some final thoughts on what went wrong (or maybe, what went right), but if we’re being TBQH with each other, I don’t really want to think about the Celtics right now. There will be no epitaph. No obituary. No eulogy. I have…

Tyler Herro 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (9/27/2020)
After Tyler Herro’s 37-point game in game four of this series, the worst thing ever happened: Casual fans became aware of Tyler Herro. We’re not talking about the type of “casual fan” who posts nonsensical “hot takes” on Instagram and Twitter and YouTube. Those fans obviously deserve disdain (as do all fans who fail to…
Read MoreAndre Iguodala 15 Points Full Highlights (9/27/2020)
In the five games of this series before tonight’s game, Andre Iguodala (or, as I have taken to calling him, Andretirementhome IguOLDala) had scored a combined total of eight points on 3-of-13 shooting. His scoring output in the series against Indiana and Milwaukee was marginally higher, but this game still represents the first double-digit scoring…

The Nuggets’ magical Bubble run has come to an end. It’s one thing to come back from 1-3 series deficits against the Jazz (A team whose second best player is Royce O’Neale, and whose third best player is Juwan Morgan) and the Clippers (no time for load management in the playoffs, but also no time…
Read MoreDaniel Theis 15 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (9/25/2020)
As soon as he checked in, Enes Kanter made an immediate impact on this game, getting two buckets in his first minute of action. When I witnessed it, the first thought spontaneously generated by my tangled mass of neurons and axons that could charitably be called a “brain” was “Daniel Theis is not going to…
Read MoreDuncan Robinson 20 Points Full Highlights (9/25/2020)
I was under the impression that Duncan Robinson had attempted zero two-point field goals in the series prior to this game against the Celtics. That information was incorrect to an extreme degree: he actually had attempted ONE two-point field goal in the series (a decreased from their first-round series, where he shot five, and their…
Read MoreTyler Herro Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (9/23/2020)
In the darkness of the uncomfortably warm, intolerably humid Florida night, beside one of the resort complex’s many outdoor swimming pools, a tall man reclined on a pool chair. The sunglasses he wore on his face were superfluous, given the general dimness of the moonlight, and the fact that he was fully clothed made it…

Lately, I’ve been hearing murmurations that LeBron James, despite being super old now, is actually still playing elite defense for the Lakers. The source of these murmurations? The darkest, most depraved corners of the Internet, right next to all the porn. Initially, I was disinclined to believe them. There is a reason that James’ nickname…
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. 15 Points Full Highlights (9/20/2020)
Usually, when a player scores illegitimate points, I become upset because it results in a highlight video that is built upon a foundation of lies. It’s even more upsetting when the illegitimate points are the difference-maker between “that’s not enough points for a DTB highlight video” and “that is indeed enough points for a DTB…
Read MoreTyler Herro 22 Points Full Highlights (9/19/2020)
It’s a strange situation when a team so good that it has a high chance of making the finals has as its best swaggy shot creator a babyfaced sixth-man rookie. Not like having a babyface has any bearing on how good a player is at creating swaggy shots. The rookie part is the important part….
