With four minutes to go in the third quarter, Cameron Johnson drilled his fourth three-pointer of the game, giving him nineteen points, just two short of his rookie season high in points. He had sixteen possible minutes of game with which to acquire another bucket (or perhaps a pair of free throws) to tie his…

Gary Trent Jr. 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (8/2/2020)
Gary Trent Jr. is in that intermediate stage of hair growth where the hair is long enough to be tied back, but not ALL of it is long enough to be tied back. So he’s got the ponytail going on in the back but then he’s got some insect antennae sticking out the front because…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 30 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (8/2/2020)
Getting Jusuf Nurkic back from an extended absence to have him dominate games like he had never gotten his leg bones spontaneously blown into six (or more) different pieces is obviously awesome for the Blazers. But it’s also sort of a sad thing. Because when you see how quickly and easily Nurkic has integrated himself…
Read MoreGrayson Allen 15 Points Full Highlights (8/2/2020)
This video would’ve been a lot better had they not taken away one of Grayson Allen’s threes because of a Spurs foul that occurred right before he shot it. Like, RIGHT before. It was so close, why take away the points? I thought the whole point of modern-day NBA was to have the most inflated…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 21 Points Full Highlights (8/2/2020)
Jaren Jackson Jr. has made a ton of ridiculous threes this season (be sure to check out my preemptively-uploaded three-ilation so you can see for yourself), but the one he hit tonight with 10 seconds left to tie the game was possibly the most ridiculous of all. You’re gonna get to see it pretty soon,…
Read MoreOG Anunoby 23 Points Full Highlights (8/1/2020)
I’ve been going back and forth on the issue this season, buffeted as I am by the howling winds of hype, but this game has really clarified things for me: OG Anunoby is definitely, 100 percent, for sure the next Kawhi Leonard in Toronto. No doubt about it. Forget about Terence Davis. Norman Powell? Forget…
Read MoreNickeil Alexander-Walker 15 Points/1 Quarter Full Highlights (8/1/2020)
Unlike the Kelly Olynyk “20 Points/1 Quarter” highlight video that I uploaded a few hours ago, this video represents the statistical output of a player who literally only appeared in one quarter: the fourth. The Pelicans got BTFO the frick out by the Clippers rather quickly in this one, so the entire second half was…
Read MoreAaron Holiday 15 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (8/1/2020)
The real story of this game is T.J. Warren scoring 53 points, the third most points that any Pacers player has ever scored. However, due to circumstances beyond my control (circumstances which boil down to “T.J. Warren being a total studbeast”), T.J. Warren was added to my OFFICIAL EXCLUSION LIST for this season, so there’s…
Read MoreJerami Grant 19 Points Full Highlights (8/1/2020)
Props to these national announcers for somehow being aware, not only of Jerami Grant’s existence, but that he has greatly improved as a player since his early days. That’s an amount of insight that I don’t expect from dudes whose job it is to know about the entire NBA, which usually ends up being closer…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 20 Points/1 Quarter Full Highlights (8/1/2020)
Jeff Van Gundy wonders audibly at the end of this video: did Kelly Olynyk outscore the entire Nuggets team by himself in the fourth quarter? (At the point this question was posed, Olynyk had dropped an even twenty points in eleven minutes of fourth-quarter blowout action.) The answer is yes. And no. But mostly yes….
