Norman Powell 23 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)

If the season ended today, Norman Powell wouldn’t be in the illustrious 50/40/90 club. However, he would be in the slightly less illustrious 50/40/80 club thanks to his 50.8% shooting from the field, 40.8% shooting from three, and 83.1% from the free throw line. Oh yeah, and he’s scoring 15 PPG per game, which I…

P.J. Dozier 12 Points Nuggets Debut Full Highlights (1/15/2020)

Maybe this upcoming admission is going to expose me as a fraud who doesn’t really care about the plight of NBA scrubs at all, but I totally didn’t realize that P.J. Dozier was on the Nuggets. I didn’t even realize he was still in the league. If you had asked me what team he played…

Markieff Morris 23 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)

Markieff Morris was apparently out for a stretch of games in late December/early January, but I care so little about him that I didn’t even realize. The fact that he was (presumably) injured badly enough to miss significant time is totally new to me. I just assumed he was sucking so much that he wasn’t…

Seth Curry 21 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)

Seth Curry has been shooting comfortably above 40% on three-pointers each of the past three seasons. However, this season, he’s only shooting 39.5% on threes. Somewhere, his brother is sobbing silently. Since I am obsessed with the 40% mark being the differentiator between a “good” shooter and a “great” shooter, I am now regretfully obligated…

Domantas Sabonis 29 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2020)

I’m confused as heck right now. Domantas Sabonis had 25 points in the first half of this game. 25 points! Actually, he had 25 points by the halfway point of the second quarter. He was completely unstoppable at the rim. Nobody on the Timberwolves had the girthage, the meatage, or the thickage to prevent Sabonis…

Wes Iwundu Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)

As D.J. Augustin and Michael Carter-Williams watched helplessly from the bench, wearing dapper suits and also wearing fake smiles on their faces, Wes Iwundu went out and led his team to a victory over the much-vaunted, LeBron-led “superteam” of the Lakers. His defense, his bucket-getting ability, his foul-drawing ability (which verged an Hardenesque), and his…

Troy Daniels 17 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)

Troy Daniels cemented his position in the Lakers’ “big three” (accompanied by LeBron James and Quinn Cook) with this sizzling seventeen-point shooting performance off the bench (there’s no rule that says that players who are part of a “big three” can’t come off the bench). Daniels has been quiet this season, rarely getting large amounts…

Quinn Cook 22 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)

When LeBron James said he was going to create “the best big three f***ing ever” with Khem Birch and Luke Babbitt, the league quaked. Such a star-studded trio would immediately usher in a new Lakers dynasty. Rival GMs all around the league immediately drew up their tanking plans. Thankfully for fans of parity everywhere, that…

Kendrick Nunn 33 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)

Kendrick Nunn may not win the ROTY of the Year Award, but that’s not the only award the NBA has to offer. There are plenty of other trophies out there that could be his. MVP? If he starts chucking like we all know he wants to, I can see it. Finals MVP? That’s even more…

Michael Porter Jr. 19 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)

It’s going to be a while before we get to see the Michael Porter Jr. we want to see. The Nuggets have plans. They have aspirations. They want to win games, and they won tons of games without him last year. A young stud scorer is a luxury they have, but don’t exactly need. They…
