I have been thinking very hard and very studiously about it, and I have come to this conclusion: there is literally no way to stop a Luka Doncic/Boban Marjanovic pick-and-roll. This conclusion is the result of in-depth discussions with experts in the field, analysis of video footage (provided by some goofball going under the moniker…

Gary Trent 24 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2020)
Terry Stotts is looking like a BIG dumb-dumb for not realizing what he had in Gary Trent early in the season. This guy is looking like a perfectly competent scorer at the NBA level and a decent complement to Damian Lillard (anybody can be a decent complement to him as long as you can catch…
Read MoreRobert Covington 20 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2020)
The NBA already has stats that are arbitrarily decided by scorekeepers. Assists are random as far as I can tell. Steals and blocks are also inconsistently tabulated across the league. Since these things are already in the boxscore, I see no reason to not include additional defensive stats in there as well. Things like “shots…
Read MoreRJ Barrett 27 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2020)
RJ Barrett had such a good first quarter in this one that I’m of the opinion that he should’ve been allowed to chuck whatever shots he wanted for the whole rest of the game (and the whole rest of the season, screw it, why not????). He was beasting. He was feasting. He was throwing no-look…
Read MoreZion Williamson 35 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2020)
The Pelicans are 9-7 since Zion Williamson made his debut a little over a month ago. This is what’s called a “playoff push”, and it’s what you have to do when you’ve got J.J. Redick on your team and he hasn’t missed the playoffs even once over his 13-year career and if you miss the…
Read MoreJordan Poole 17 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/1/2020)
February is officially over, so the final February stats for Jordan Poole are in: 13 points and 3 assists on 45% shooting. Those are great numbers for a guy who was (and still is) on track to have one of the worst shooting performances in modern NBA history. And now Poole has carried over that…
Read MoreBrandon Knight 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/1/2020)
Brandon Knight has now had four double-digit scoring games in a row, and with each “good” game he has (remember that “good” is relative term), my feelings towards him go from “I’m sad that he’s struggling in the league after being so good pre-injury” to “I’m happy that he’s rounding back into form.” That definitely…
Read MoreChristian Wood 20 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2020)
It’s crazy how much more fun Christian Wood is to watch than nowadays Blake Griffin, his rival at the power forward spot for the Pistons. Well, they were rivals until Griffin went down with an injury. Now Wood is unrivaled. Back to the comparison. Griffin definitely played his heart out every time he was on…
Read MoreMychal Mulder 17 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2020)
Mychal Mulder (whose first name, suspiciously, has the same odd spelling as Klay’s dad…where’d I put that tinfoil hat?) improved on his fourteen-point performance yesterday to score seventeen points tonight. If there were any questions as to how legit Mulder was after last night, those questions have been thoroughly erased now. And if those questions…
Read MoreTorrey Craig 17 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2020)
Out of my many attempts to start viral hashtag sensations, I have to say that my #TorreyCraigIsWelsh campaign has to have been the least successful. Even I didn’t use it, except in, like, one or two video descriptions. As far as I’m aware, no tweets were ever tweeted in support of the hashtag, which (rather…
