https://youtu.be/Pe1Mz0ImmbY I don’t blame Pacers fans right now if they’re feeling saltier than the Dead Sea after their team got their collective booty handed to them by Mikal Bridges. It’s one thing to have your rear end served to you on a silver platter by a player like, say, Devin Booker. It sucks, but it’s…

Tyrese Maxey Career High 39 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/9/2021)
https://youtu.be/11VlllK7TCU When I saw the seven-man rotation that the COVID-decimated Sixers were trotting out for tonight’s game, I thought to myself, there are two things that could happen here: Thing That Could Happen Numero Uno: The Sixers score seventy points in the game, shoot 29% from the field as a team, and lose by fifty….
Read MoreHamidou Diallo 23 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2021)
https://youtu.be/nLcD_vWeBRc I know I’ve said it repeatedly (tbh every NBA-related thought I’ve ever had has been said repeatedly just because of how many descriptions I’ve had to type over the years), but I really, REALLY don’t care about the Dunk Contest. I don’t watch it, I don’t watch replays of the dunks, I don’t remember…
Read MoreJoe Harris 28 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2021)
https://youtu.be/cA4NZZpUP3c No Kyrie? No Durant? No frickin’ problem when you’ve got HEADBAND HARRIS on your team ready to burst out of his 80’s time capsule to devastate the opposing team with spicy three-pointers and surprisingly adept dribble-drives. This guy might have effortlessly won a three-point contest, but if you held a “white guy contested layup”…
Read MoreAnthony Edwards 26 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2021)
https://youtu.be/GO1V8ViWxak As a consequence of my semi-retirement, I haven’t been paying attention to NBA drama as much as I used to. It’s relaxing to not have to try to keep track of who tweeted what or who gave sus interview answers or who is rumored to be involved in some random trade scenario. However, the…
Read MoreSeth Curry 28 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/6/2021)
https://youtu.be/NN-mSzMY8QY I don’t want to cause you any alarm, but Seth Curry (who, I should remind you, is an undersized shooting guard and isn’t even tall) is currently leading the ENTIRE frickin’ LEAGUE in true shooting percentage. Screw it, let’s all get alarmed right now. I am alarmed as heck. In fact, I am so…
Read MoreCoby White Career High 36 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/6/2021)
https://youtu.be/RZapOBtbnfQ So it looks like Coby White is the full-time starting point guard in Chicago now. That’s cool. I’m trying to remember who he replaced, and I just can’t remember at all. The previous iteration of the Bulls stopped playing last March and were never allowed to resume, so my memory of them is even…
Read MoreJuan Hernangomez 25 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2021)
https://youtu.be/E5kvfxflcMk Juan Hernangomez has not been very good to start the season. Sometime between the abrupt end of the Timberwolves’ season back in March 2020, and the resumption of Timberwolves basketball in December 2020, his hot three-point shooting turned cold. Maybe COVID prevented him from having access to a gym and so all he could…
Read MorePatty Mills 27 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (1/5/2021)
https://youtu.be/k-pVtXa9Zts Patty Mills just set a career high in three-pointers made, with eight such shots splashed in last night. I think this era of increased three-point gunning has desensitized me to three-pointers, because eight doesn’t even seem like that many for a player like Mills, who is known as a three-point shooter. Am I broken…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 21 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2021)
https://youtu.be/vEnRlLPN7EE Though his first eight games as a Clipper, Nic “The Fraudulent Frenchman” Batum has already scored more points than he scored all of last season with the Hornets. Granted, “all of last season” for Batum was just 22 games (he got perma-benched at a certain point), but, still, he’s doubled his scoring rate between…
