Alex Caruso was either inactive or a DNP for all but 6 of the Lakers’ first 60 games. While Rajon Rondo padded his stats and caused untold damage to the team (even LeBron couldn’t salvage lineups with Rondo in them), Caruso either balled out in the G-League or sat on the bench and clapped politely….

Mikal Bridges 19 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
There is only more game left for the Suns. This means different things for different people. Suns fans will be a mix of elated (because they don’t have to waste their time watching the Suns anymore) and saddened (because watching the Suns is the only thing that gives their life purpose). For Suns players, it…
Read MoreJamal Crawford 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Jamal Crawford is sending a message right now. And that message is “please sign me to a contract”. Other, ancillary messages include “I really want to keep playing basketball”, “My life will become meaningless without the day-to-day structure provided by the NBA”, and “I’m a good veteran presence for a rebuilding team, please, I’m begging…
Read MoreGeorges Niang Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Georges “Niang Cat” Niang has not had a productive career up until this point. His first two years in the league, the most he ever scored in a single game was five. He was the very definition of a fringe NBA player, which makes sense given that he was picked near the end of the…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 32 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Just in case there are people out there who don’t believe that contract-year pushes are a real thing, I present to you: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s numbers in the past few weeks. In the games that have happened since March 19th, he has scored 35, 7, 16, 29, 7, 25, 19, 23, 7, 25, and 32 points….
Read MoreElfrid Payton 26 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Magic fans know full well the phenomenon of “March Elfrid”, which is when the season hits the month of March and Elfrid Payton starts putting up huge numbers on a regular basis. He can be a middling PG the whole year, but when the calendar flips over to the third month, it doesn’t matter. It’s…
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 24 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Since the Sacramento Kings don’t seem to be interested in selling plush toys that are purple foxes with a fluffy bundle of black yarn for hair (to match the real-life De’Aaron Fox), I’ve gone into business making them myself. I’m pretty sure that it’s illegal for me to use Fox’s likeness without his express permission,…
Read MoreEric Gordon 26 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Eric Gordon has been extremely streaky from the three-point line this season. He’s also been very streaky in the past, but this year, the streaks tend to be more often in the negative direction than the positive direction. For every game where he shoots a high volume of three-pointers on a high percentage (such as…
Read MoreDragan Bender 19 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Unlike Dragan Bender’s last game, where he added seven blocks and six assists to his total of eleven points, this game was not nearly as stat-stuffed. The only “miscellaneous” stat the Bender accrued here was one steal. Otherwise, he was all about scoring; nineteen points is two higher than his previous season high of seventeen….
Read MoreJahlil Okafor 23 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Jahlil Okafor had only made two three-pointers before this game, one of them during his rookie year in Philly, and the other while he was in Brooklyn. Considering that his jumpshot range pretty much has a hard stop at around sixteen feet, this shouldn’t be a surprise. He’s never been, and probably never will be,…
