Is there a way to use the internet to tell me if seven is a career high in dunks for Jusuf Nurkic? I thought I was good at the internet but it turns out I’m not. And I haven’t yet shelled out for the new basketball-reference “Stathead” service (I don’t blame them for charging for…

Gary Trent Jr. 27 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (8/6/2020)
We need a nickname or term for all these players who are suddenly SHOWING OUT in the bubble. And the term has to involve the word “bubble” in some way. Something like “Bubble Breakouts”, but I want it to be more creative than that. Who do I have to pay to generate creative ideas for…
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. 27 Points Full Highlights (8/6/2020)
I really thought Michael Porter Jr. was going to drop another thirty-burger in this one, but his grand plans were foiled by the fact that he didn’t score any points at all in the final seven minutes of this game. My plan to eat thirty McDonald’s cheeseburgers in celebration of his thirty-burger was also foiled….
Read MoreZion Williamson 24 Points Full Highlights (8/6/2020)
Zion Williamson is clearly quite a bit heftier than he was in high school. He’s also clearly above a healthy playing weight right now. Four months of NBA postponement didn’t help him slim down at all. But who can really blame him? I mean, food tastes SO GOOD. I’m compulsively thinking about food at least…

“It was nice of you to invite me on your little fishing trip,” Boban Marjanovic said as he cast out his line. A floppy hat was perched on his head and his legs dangled off the side of the boat as he reclined in his chair. Bogdan Bogdanovic, the organizer of the expedition which saw…

NBA fans, as a whole, are very interested in the concept of “worst player in the league”. Which is fair, because while thinking about good players is fun, thinking about bad players is like a million times more fun. That’s the whole reason I started this channel. So people could think about bad players more….

So it turns out that all Jerome Robinson needed to succeed was…a team where all his teammates are scrubs and where there’s not really a clear-cut first option on offense. That’s not a situation that comes up often in today’s NBA. In fact, it’s not a situation that comes up EVER, because no matter how…
Read MoreDzanan Musa 13 Points Full Highlights (8/5/2020)
This is the time when Dzanan Musa needs to take the reins and announce to the world “I maybe belong in the NBA.” Because everything he has shown us to this point says, “I should be playing in Europe.” It’s an established fact that this Brooklyn Nets roster which is chilling out in the bubble…
Read MoreDonta Hall 11 Points Full Highlights (8/5/2020)
Prior to the bubble, Donta Hall had scored one bucket this season. It was for the Pistons, and let me tell you: it kinda sucked. And not only because it was for the Pistons. I was analyzing dunks for inclusion in the end-of-month dunkilations, a process that requires me to view every dunk that gets…
