https://youtu.be/uEEKNewsSGE Did last year’s Thunder team even really exist? It feels so weird to me that there was this random transitional period that occurred after Russell Westbrook left but before the Thunder fully embraced the tank. Like, if they had just tried to keep all those pieces in place, maybe they could’ve been something other…

Payton Pritchard 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/23/2021)
https://youtu.be/ye_58xNQEuc This video ostensibly depicts Payton Pritchard, and I’ll get to him in a bit, but what I really want to say is that I’m super happy that Jabari Parker is back playing real minutes for a real team (insert Celtics joke here DON’T FORGET). I wish it would have been the Bucks that signed…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 29 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2021)
https://youtu.be/MaVPNWxbtq8 I just want everybody to know that I have a day off from work today, and my day off is being RUINED by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and his annoying tendency to score amounts of points which qualify him for highlight videos. There are a million other things I’d rather be doing with my time right…
Read MoreDevin Cannady 17 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2021)
https://youtu.be/BtbLmY8wkVU Since I know that NBA players can’t resist watching highlight videos of themselves, ESPECIALLY players who are on the fringes of the league and don’t get a large amount of media attention, I’m about 90% confident that Devin Cannady himself will watch this highlight video at some point. Whether or not he’ll bother reading…
Read MoreBobby Portis 23 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2021)
https://youtu.be/M5GYO3fl7b0 The Bucks showed a graphic during the telecast which alleged that Bobby Portis was fifth in the league in three-point percentage. Maybe I’m just not as good a fan as I used to be, because I didn’t realize that Portis was close to the league leaderboard for 3P% at all. I knew he was…
Read MoreDaniel Gafford 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/21/2021)
https://youtu.be/jBkvXuDVClE Daniel Gafford and Russell Westbrook is like a match made in basketball heaven. Westbrook gets somebody to feed for easy baskets, and Gafford gets a point guard who will feed him easy baskets. Not only that, but Westbrook will hog the ball so that Gafford doesn’t ever feel pressured to shoot a shot that…
Read MoreNaz Reid 24 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2021)
https://youtu.be/NXZQCF_GHT4 There was a time when I considered Naz “Big Nazty” Reid to be the second coming of Jeff Adrien. I know that, for a lot of you, that comparison lacks any meaning at all because you don’t know who Jeff Adrien is. And I also know that, for a different segment of my viewership,…

https://youtu.be/kRrquVslczE OFFICIAL LIST OF KNOWN FACTS ABOUT OSHAE BRISSETT -He is apparently on the Pacers now, a fact which had shamefully escaped my notice until last night -His last name is “Brissett”, which looks like “brisket”, a type of cow meat that I rank among my top ten of cow meats -There’s a football player…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 28 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2021)
https://youtu.be/bYCfWzfwdsE This is what I want. No stupid Paul George and his dumb braids. No stupid Kawhi Leonard and all the load management that he brings along with him everywhere he goes. No stupid Serge Ibaka and his stupid cooking show. No stupid Reggie Jackson and his, well, I don’t know exactly what I dislike…
Read MoreMaurice Harkless 20 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2021)
https://youtu.be/HChIcfIlsfI Sometimes I see a trade go down and I don’t understand why it had to happen. That’s sort of how I feel about the trade that sent Moe Harkless and Chris Silva to the Kings in exchange for Nemanja Bjelica. Maybe there was some sort of arcane salary-cap wizardry that was happening here, but…
