If you were in possession of a time machine, and used your time machine to go back to the end of last season, a season where Pat Connaughton had scored one point per game on 26% shooting, and told me that that same dude would one day put up a 19/7/7 statline in the NBA, I would have done the following things in order:
1. Express wonderment at your time machine
2. Touch your clothes from the future
3. Tell you that Pat Connaughton wouldn’t even put up that statline in the D-League
4. Become convinced that this was all a government hoax designed to drive me to insanity
5. Beat you with my fists and with my computer tower until you leave
6. Step into the time machine that you left behind and use it to time travel to when YOU got the time machine so I could stop you from having it
7. Ponder the linear continuity of time itself
Luckily, you don’t have a time machine, so you don’t get to do that to me. That’s good because the other chain of events that might happen is that I find out Connaughton scores nineteen points, so I just refuse to do any highlights until that happens because no other highlights would ever be worth it.
