Behold the next phase in Michael Porter Jr.’s game: BALL DISTRIBUTION. MPJ only had fourteen total assists in 29 games prior to this one. You could tell that he held the so-called “scoring ability” of his teammates in utter disdain. Why would a scoring stud such as him willingly give the ball up to scrubs…

Malik Beasley 27 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2020)
Malik Beasley just got his first twenty-point game of the season after having twelve such games last season. He may have gotten slightly worse as a scorer between this season and last season, but I refuse to believe that he wasn’t capable of these types of performances the entire time he’s been rotting on Mike…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 24 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2020)
I’m looking at the 2014 draft, and I don’t know if all the scouts were high on drugs or what, but that was kind of a cruddy set of players in the lottery. I don’t even care for Marcus Smart that much (partially because he just got done kicking my team’s heinie, but also for…
Read MoreDonte DiVincenzo 19 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2020)
Another game, another career-high for Donte DiVincenzo. He had 18 just a week ago, now surpassed by the 19 he had tonight. I will hold off on including “Career High” in the title until he scores at least 20. It’s gotta happen soon, right? Damn the Bucks and their roster full of competent players which…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 21 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/16/2020)
Everyone’s all upset about the iffy foul call on an inbound with 0.2 seconds left that sent this game into overtime, but I sympathize with the refs on this one. They, like me, just want to see more buckets. I’m surprised that so many people are protesting the prospect of more buckets, but that’s just…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 20 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Terry Rozier, in addition to his 20 points and 9 assists (without a turnover, damn, he out-Monted Monte Morris in his own building, the DISRESPECT), had a really sick ankle-breaker on Jamal Murray, so sick that Murray had to exit the game and not return. But this was a different kind of ankle-breaker than you’re…
Read MoreMike Muscala 17 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
My fear is that the end result of Mike “Elon Musc” Muscala’s career is going to be him being placed fifth on a list that some garbage clickbait sports website pumps out called “Top 50 Worst Scrubs That LeBron Ever Played With”. Surpassed only my Martynas Adriuskevicius, Kostas Antetokounmpo, Eddie House, and Drew Gooden. He…
Read MorePatty Mills 21 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Now that the Spurs roster is mercifully free of any of the other participants in their dynasty (Gregg Poppovich doesn’t count since he’s not on the roster, and Marco Belinelli doesn’t count because when people think “Spurs dynasty” no one thinks of him), Patty Mills is free to average a career-high in points per game….
Read MoreJarrett Culver 17 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Don’t look now (when people say that phrase it means they actually want you to look so go to basketball-reference right now and check it out), but Jarrett Culver has put together a really nice stretch of games for the Timberwolves. He’s almost on a 10-game stretch of consecutive double-digit scoring performances, and most have…
Read MoreOG Anunoby 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
If OG Anunoby is really going to be the next Kawhi in Toronto, then the Raptors need to realize the value in what they have and start managing his load a little bit more. I’m looking at his game log for the season, and as far as I can tell, he has been load-managed only…
