Cam Reddish 16 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)

Cam Reddish made just four field goals, yet here I am making his highlight video before some other, worthier candidates because I’m obsessed with statpadding my view counts. Sure, 16 points is Reddish’s 7th best game of the season, but I still feel unclean for ignoring, say, Devonte’ Graham’s 28 and 8 in favor of…

Anfernee Simons 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/12/2020)

Trailblazers fans were kind of hoping, after Anfernee Simons’ monster game to end the season last year, that he would step in and be the third guard after Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, the guy who could come in off the bench and reliably replace some of the midget chuck bros production by being a…

Jeremy Pargo 15 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)

I don’t know why I was wasting my time with all these other videos when this is the video everyone cares about: Jeremy “What Even Happened To Jannero” Pargo scoring 15 points in a real-life NBA game on a real-life NBA court against a real-life NBA team with real-life NBA fans watching. After being out…

Serge Ibaka 28 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)

Despite Serge Ibaka’s heroic 28-point performance (a performance that featured more points than ANY he had during his time in OKC, by the way), the Raptors lost, ending their winning streak at 15 games. Good. I’m going to sound like a butthurt Bucks fan, and maybe I am a little butthurt, but they (and their…

Donte DiVincenzo 19 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)

We’re still waiting on that elusive 20-burger from Donte DiVincenzo. This is the fate of many a role-player in the NBA, to go from dropping 20 literally all the time in high school, to doing it sometimes in college, to never doing it in the NBA. Has he been to the G-League yet? I don’t…

Thon Maker 18 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)

Since Andre Drummond got traded to the Cavaliers, Thon Maker has been doing things. He hasn’t had much of a choice, since the Pistons’ bigman rotation is pretty messed up right now (which is kinda what happens when your two huge-minute bigs from last season have disappeared), but there was a good chance that he’d…

Tristan Thompson 27 Points/6 Dunks/3 Threes Full Highlights (2/12/2020)

I had previously held the opinion that Tristan Thompson and new arrival Andre Drummond would not be able to coexist due to their dramatically overlapping skillsets. Both of them are primarily inside operators whose value comes from tenacious rebounding and lots of hustle points inside. Neither is known as an especially skilled scorer from outside…

Malik Monk 25 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)

Malik Monk has been consistently getting minutes (like, twenty or more minutes) for the past three weeks or so. Is it finally happening? Have the prayers of Charlotte Hornets fans worldwide been answered by a God who was always thought to be absent and cold towards his creation, but now is present and loving? Is…

Christian Wood 26 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)

Christian Wood being unleashed on the Pistons makes them 1000% more watchable, in my opinion. My opinion doesn’t matter that much because I don’t have the time to just sit there and watch Detroit Pistons games, but it kinda does matter because I’m the leading expert on NBA watchability and you aren’t. Christian Wood has…

Brandon Clarke 27 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (2/12/2020)

Brandon Clarke is having an extremely good rookie season, averaging basically 20/10 on 60% shooting if you use his per-36 stats. Many years, those stats would put him right in the thick of the ROTY of the year race, but this year, there’s a number of rookies who are considerably ahead of him in that…
