“Dear Father, The Pacers’ season has come to a blissful end. While I wish that both myself and my team had experienced more success in the playoffs, I have quickly moved past the sadness. You do not need to worry about my mental state after we were swept by the Celtics. I am of perfectly…

Brook Lopez 19 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (4/20/2019)
Andre Drummond got so badly outplayed by Brook Lopez that I actually felt bad for him. Hearing those boos from his own fans as he got subbed out after another bad play made me sad. Yeah, he wasn’t really trying and he was throwing up the most garbage shots ever and Lopez was cooking him,…
Read MoreTorrey Craig 18 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2019)
My genius new viral hashtag, #TorreyCraigIsWelsh , has not taken off nearly as well as I’d have hoped. As of this writing, there is only one use of it on Twitter (thanks to the Twitter user whose name is, somewhat cryptically, just “matt”). For such a perfectly-formulated hashtag to see such levels of underutilization is…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 29 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (4/20/2019)
Nikola Jokic exited the Whataburger with a bag of fast-food cheeseburgers in his left hand and a large coke in the other hand. In general, fast food didn’t compare to his favorite burger joints in Denver, but it was a suitable substitute. His brain briefly registered a pang of guilt as it occurred to him…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 21 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2019)
Jarrett Allen has, overall, struggled to contain Joel Embiid this series. There’s no getting around it. He’s good, but he’s still a stick figure, and Embiid probably weighs twice as much as him. However, there are two bits of good news here: Bit of good news #1: Allen dropped in 21 points of his own…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/20/2019)
This game represents the rebirth of the LeVert/Allen connection. Last season, if Caris LeVert had a game with a lot of assists, it seemed like it was always nonstop lobs to Jarrett Allen for monster whammers. This season, I haven’t noticed their connection as much, probably because LeVert was injured for a good chunk of…
Read MoreJerami Grant 18 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2019)
Nice of the Thunder role-players to make some threes in this game, after being a combined 0-for-94 in the first two games. If you listen closely, you can hear the home crowd sigh in relief when Jerami Grant hits a three 30 seconds into the game after (obviously, given the above stat) not hitting one…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 19 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2019)
Portland’s over-reliance on their two midget chuckers (Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, Gary Trent is a midget chucker but they aren’t reliant on him) is going to get them into trouble in these playoffs, mark my words. Maybe it already had gotten them in trouble, with this loss. Aside from that height-challenged duo of shooting…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 23 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2019)
I couldn’t believe it when Hubie Brown said that Jaylen Brown (his son) was the leading scorer for the Celtics in the playoffs last season. I know the Celtics had to make do with a bunch of role-player heroics during that time, but Brown? No way. So I looked it up, and I’m telling you,…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 24 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2019)
When I was a little kid, I wasn’t a huge NBA fan. Like most boys growing up in the 90’s, I liked MJ, and I liked Space Jam, but that was about the extent of my NBA knowledge. None of my immediate family was into basketball, and none of my friends were either, so, for…
