https://youtu.be/jdSvmVDGpSc Sorry Rodney “Rude McGrude” McGruder, I don’t care if it’s time for your annual random 20-burger in between extended stints of nothing-burgers, I am SO DONE thinkin about the Pistons or their players right now. I’m semi-retired. My time has value. But I look at the videos I made for this particular slate of…

Saben Lee 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/WL3ZnceCSiI Do we have any insight into what’s going on in Killian Hayes’ head right now? He was drafted to be the point guard of the future for the Pistons, but he got injured, and now the two-headed beast of Saben Lee and Dennis Smith Jr. are both busting out simultaneously. Hayes is probably pretending…
Read MoreDean Wade 17 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/KDYPBS5lbdc Here’s a philosophical question for you: does saying that something is “The Dean Wade Show” make it “The Dean Wade Show”, or are there external criteria for “The Dean Wade Show” that must be met before something becomes “The Dean Wade Show”? Posed another way, can you speak “The Dean Wade Show” into existence,…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell Triple Double 16 Pts/13 Asts/10 Stls Full Highlights (3/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/QD0YPybtqe8 T.J. McConnell is just a guy. If you look at him, you can see that. Compared to the highly athletic, highly tall, highly muscular dudes around him, his just-a-guyness becomes even more apparent. But this guy, who is just a guy, just got the first triple-double with steals since frickin’ MOOKIE BLAYLOCK IN 1998….
Read MoreWayne Ellington 25 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/VI4mha3PZic It’s unavoidable at this point. Some playoff team is going to covet Wayne Ellington at the trade deadline and give up at least one draft pick and one cruddy young player with “upside” in order to have Ellington on their team. Whether or not this transaction will also involve somehow getting Blake Griffin and…
Read MoreMason Plumlee Triple Double 14 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (3/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/aL78E2vwbQE Another game, another triple-double for Mason Plumlee! Problem is, I’m totally desensitized to triple-doubles at this point, I literally feel nothing when I see that whatever random role-player has one. Maybe you’re in a better place than me, a place where you see that a player has at least 10 statisticals in three major…
Read MoreDennis Smith Jr. Triple Double 10 Pts/12 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (3/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/OIz2s40bjL0 The Dennis Smith Jr. redemption tour continues! There’s a reason that Mavericks fans were really hyped for this dude as a potential franchise cornerstone, and it wasn’t just because they were displaying the overvaluation of their team’s own prospects typical of NBA fandom! Actually, that was a major part of it, probably the major-est…
Read MoreDe’Anthony Melton 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/2/2021)
https://youtu.be/BVwann9gNds Maybe I’m just broken, but I cannot force myself to get excited for the concept of a player setting a career-high in three-pointers made. The only career-high that gets my juices flowing is a career-high in points. Any other career-high is just “meh” unless it also happens to be setting a team- or NBA-wide…
Read MoreLuka Samanic 14 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2021)
https://youtu.be/156WfAEhvL0 Over the first few months of my semi-retirement, I’ve gotten the distinct feeling that I’m not doing enough pandering to the citizens of various nation-states in the Balkans. Pandering to the inhabitants of those countries is accountable for roughly 94% of the success I’ve found as a purveyor of NBA highlight videos on the…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 25 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/2/2021)
https://youtu.be/N-3XhLaHyEM When Reggie Jackson got waived by the Pistons last season and then picked up by the Clippers, I was a bit surprised. The Pistons supposedly “did him a favor” by cutting him loose and letting him join a championship contender, and I’m sure Jackson himself was fully on board with the plan, but there…
