https://youtu.be/y9WQe6e6D2o The Houston Rockets only had seven players available to suit up for this game. Then, Kevin Porter Jr. left the game with an injury, so they were left with six. That kind of lineup is necessarily going to result in some inflated statlines for almost everybody who plays. Cue Opera Winfrey gesticulating wildly and…

Sekou Doumbouya 20 Points Full Highlights (5/4/2021)
https://youtu.be/e_YY4fThf7c Sekou Doumbouya had a couple decent games last season, games where I obviously made highlight videos for him, and that whole experience colored my perception of him. I try to be stoic and unaffected by hype at all times, but I think I got a little too drawn in by Doumbouya’s flashes of skill,…
Read MoreGabriel Deck 16 Points Full Highlights (5/4/2021)
https://youtu.be/1q6DsqldYVw Gabriel “Big Deck Energy” Deck was a recent and somewhat random signing by the Thunder. Usually, April isn’t the time to be signing players to multiple years of guaranteed money. You see a lot of “multi-year” deals given to fringe G-Leaguers, but those usually pay players a small amount for the rest of the…

https://youtu.be/69GY9-P2W88 “Dear Jerami, Thanks for agreeing to pretend to be injured so that I can get more minutes. I know it was probably Coach’s idea, but since you’re the franchise player, you wouldn’t have had to agree if you didn’t want to. You’ve been playing really well this season and I’m sure you would rather…
Read MoreIsaac Okoro Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (5/4/2021)
https://youtu.be/9Idc2w_5lU4 On the back of Isaac Okoro’s 32 points, the first thirty-burger of his young and promising NBA career, the Cavaliers took a vastly superior Suns team to overtime. The overtime didn’t quite go as planned, with the Suns outscoring the Cavs twenty to four in those five minutes of bonus time, but it was…
Read MoreChasson Randle 18 Points Full Highlights (5/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/ZUm0C9VEzRk Chasson “Press X To Chasson” Randle is a player who always seems to show up on new teams when you least expect him. I am perhaps one of the people in the universe who is most enthusiastic about scrubs in the NBA and which rosters they’re currently on, and even I haven’t always had…
Read MoreSaddiq Bey 26 Points Full Highlights (5/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/2I3awa5Kmpg With less than two weeks to go in the regular season, the Pistons are winding things down. Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee, Cory Joseph, and Wayne Ellington are all sitting out with phantom injuries. Ellington in particular could have gotten some return value in a trade, but what’s done is done. Now the only thing…

https://youtu.be/4Zeo8AAWmMk Since I entered semi-retirement roughly half a year ago, I have been very choosy with the performances I upload to my channel on a given day. My minimum point threshold (MPT) is considerably higher than it has been in the past. In fact, by my rough estimate, my current MPT is somewhere between fifteen…
Read MoreMo Bamba Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (5/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/EllWSa5ovlU If you know anything about me, you know that I hate being deceived by NBA players, and I hate making highlight videos under false pretenses. And both those things are EXACTLY what just happened to me. I am so filled with righteous fury that, by the time I’m done writing this description, there will…
Read MoreDesmond Bane 22 Points Full Highlights (5/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/93BamHOmWZQ Desmond Bane was a four-year college player. I just confirmed it by going to his basketball-reference page and gazing at his stats from Texas Christian University (the same college that Thunder superstar/afro-mullet-owner Kenrich Williams played for), but even if I hadn’t confirmed that particular fact, I would have been able to tell you with…
