Happy birthday Kelly Oubre! You have, officially, completed 24 FULL revolutions around the Sun since the time you were expelled rudely from your mother without any say in the matter. Consume the cake that has been assigned to you! Drink the alcohol that has been poured for you! Win the basketball game that you were…

Daniel Gafford 14 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/9/2019)
Daniel Gafford’s 21-point performance a few weeks ago will love forever in my mind for two reasons. Reason one: it was frickin’ 21 points for a rookie who had done nothing but score zero points/get DNPs for the first 15 games of his career. Reason two: it was against the Bucks, and why do scrubs…
Read MoreKris Dunn 16 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2019)
Kris Dunn was disappointing enough during his rookie season with the Timberwolves that he was mostly considered a throw-in on the blockbuster Jimmy Butler trade. The Bulls were probably like, “Can you also send over that bust dude you have? That way your fans don’t have to think about him and get mad anymore,” and…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 19 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2019)
The chemistry from Spencer Dinwiddie going to Jarrett Allen is great. One of the best connections in the league, probably. Dinwiddie is excellent at finding Allen whether he’s rolling to the rim or standing in the dunker’s spot. But the chemistry from Jarrett Allen going to Spencer Dinwiddie? Not so great. This relationship is very…
Read MoreJabari Parker 19 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2019)
Jabari Parker must have used up all his juice against the Bucks because since then, he’s been pretty bad. He scored 33 points that game (plus 14 rebounds and 5 assists) in his quest for sweet revenge, a performance that pushed him to the very borders of eligibility on my channel. But then he came…
Read MoreAlex Caruso 16 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2019)
Alex Caruso follows in the footsteps of great Lakers “meme” players of the past. The franchise’s history is replete with players who were only admired in a mocking or sarcastic manner; often the player is white (go figure). Caruso is only the latest. Here’s just a sample from the last ten seasons: 2009-2010: Didier Ilunga-Mbenga…
Read MoreOG Anunoby 19 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2019)
Great! A few consecutive losses mean that Raptors fans will not be motivated to watch any media pertaining to this game against the 76ers. I’m not calling them out or anything, it’s just a fact that after a loss, a fanbase isn’t going to want to rehash painful memories by watching highlight videos. Even if…
Read MoreMiles Bridges 20 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2019)
Attention James Borrego: stop playing Miles Bridges in garbage time. I’ve noticed this happening multiples times now. Just because other teams do it (mainly just the Hawks with Trae Young, and he paid the price by getting kneed in the mouth by Bridges with two minutes to go) doesn’t mean that it’s cool or acceptable…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 24 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/8/2019)
Brooklyn Nets record with Kyrie Irving: 4-7 Brooklyn Nets record without Kyrie irving: 9-3 I have a narrative here, and I’ll be a monkey’s uncle if anyone is going to come in here and try to tell me that the Nets AREN’T better without Cryrie Virgin taking way too many shots and having way too…
Read MoreBam Adebayo 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/8/2019)
I’m looking at the stats right now, and what I’m seeing is that Bam Adebayo’s third season and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s third season are quite comparable. Per minute, Adebayo has got a significant edge in rebounding, Giannis has got a slight edge in scoring, and they’re about the same in assists, steals, and blocks. I feel…
