On the surface, this may not seem like as sweet of a performance by Garrison Mathews as his out-of-nowhere 28-point game a few days ago, but do not be fooled by the raw point totals. I repeat: do NOT be fooled. Practitioners of the pseudoscience known as “mathematics” will have you believe that that performance…

Jordan McRae 35 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)
When you see the phrases “Jordan McRae” and “35 Points” in close proximity to each other, your thoughts should immediately go to the time he scored 36 points with the Cavaliers in the final game of the 2015-16 season. If your thoughts do not go in that direction, kindly stop watching this video, and refrain…
Read MoreChris Boucher 24 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
https://youtu.be/EpROmySEKtc Rhetorical question of the day: is Chris “The BoucheBag” Boucher, right now, better than Pascal “Mild P” Siakam? Screw it, remove the “rhetorical” part. I’m just straight up asking the question, even though I, you, and my tubby little kitty Japurri Purrker all know full well what the answer is. Actually, screw it, remove…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 35 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
https://youtu.be/bv4f5oIy2Wg I hate to repeat myself, but when I entered into my state of semi-retirement, one of my explicit goals was to avoid having to make way too many videos for a given player in a given season. I wanted to spread the love, so to speak. Not just keep making vids for the same…

Read MoreSviatoslav Mykhailiuk 14 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
A mere four days ago I wrote these words in the description of a Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk highlight video: “Is it wrong of me to feel like these middling scoring performances from Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk are no longer exciting me?” That sentiment still holds true today, except I have moved from simple boredom with Mykhailiuk’s underwhelming scoring…
Read MoreSekou Doumbouya 10 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
OFFICIAL REASONS TO MAKE THIS VIDEO POWER RANKINGS 1. Sekou Doumbouya is a fun name to say and to spell 2. Pistons fans have attached all of their hopes, literally all of their hopes, to this guy for some reason 3. Doumbouya had two dunks 4. As the Pistons broadcast helpfully reminded us, Doumbouya is…
Read MoreRobert Covington 20 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
If you listen to the commentary of this video (and I don’t blame you if you leave it muted by default, since it is often insufferable), you’ll notice the Timberwolves commentary crew waxing romantic about Robert Covington, and how it’s great that he was somewhat of a focal point for the offense in this game….
Read MoreWendell Carter 18 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
It feels like the universe as a whole has forgotten about the fact that Wendell Carter Jr. is one of the most promising young scoring bigs in the league right now. And when I say “universe”, I really do mean the entire universe. Not only have humans from planet Earth lost track of WCJ and…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes 18 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
Faintly, at the end of this video as Richaun Holmes was shooting free throws, I could hear “MVP” chants. It would be easy to dismiss the chants as ironic encouragement from a rowdy section of the stands for a player who had just missed their first free throw and was hoping to hit the second,…
