T.J. Warren 29 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2018)

I managed to get this video done during the timeouts/quarter breaks of the very fun (for me) Bucks vs. Warriors game. I’m having a hard time thinking about anything other than how awesome the Bucks are right now, but that doesn’t mean I’m not hyped for Warren. The Suns lost in horrendous fashion, but who…

Taj Gibson 16 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

“Hey Taj, I know you’re bummed that we lost, but could you at least try to look happy?” Derrick Rose said to his teammate Taj Gibson as they sat together at a table in a Los Angeles club. “No girls want to come over here when you’re hunched over writing stuff in your little diary.”…

Wayne Ellington 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

Wayne “Beef W” Ellington’s last contract saw him get paid almost as much per year (6 million) as he had made in his entire NBA career before he got to the Heat. Now, he’s playing for another one, which, given current trends in the NBA, projects to be even bigger than the contract he’s currently…

Omari Spellman 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

I don’t remember now. Does the Hawks upper management want the in-arena experience to be more “urban” or less “urban”? All I remember is some controversy about it swinging too far in one direction; either it was too urban for the suburbanites who go to the games, or it wasn’t urban enough for the downtown…

JaVale McGee 16 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

When I heard that Tyson Chandler was getting moved from the Suns to the Lakers, I had one thought and one thought only: under no circumstances should JaVale McGee’s minutes be reduced as a consequence of this new roster addition. For the first time in a long time, McGee has been getting the minutes that…

Derrick Rose 31 Points/5 Assists/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

Seven three-pointers marks a career-high for Derrick Rose in that category. It’s also, somewhat surprisingly to me, tied for fourth most three-point makes in a game this season. Klay had 14, Steph had 11, and Redick had 8; then, a bunch people made seven in a game, putting Derrick Rose among the elite company of…

Willie Cauley-Stein 24 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

I don’t even remember what Willie Cauley-Stein looks like as normal human being anymore. I try to think back to when he was a rookie, but all my mind can recall is his moldy-Cheeto hair, grill, and sub-ocular tattoos that look like bruises. He’s got a look, I’ll give him that. He walks onto the…

Jaren Jackson 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

Man, that Summer League game where Jaren Jackson hit nothing but a ton of threes is looking like the world’s biggest statistical aberration right now. He was 8 of 13 (thirteen threes holy balls) from deep that game. After tonight’s game, he’s 5 of 24 in the regular season over 10 games. It felt unsustainable…

Wendell Carter 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

Wendell Carter: squarest-headed player in the league? I would make a power rankings with him at the top, but I can’t think of any other players that are even close to his perfect rectangularity. The thumbnail doesn’t make it as apparent, but frontal views fully show his right-angled and equal-sided visage. This is the kind…

Jabari Parker 20 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

I’m obsessed with the idea of win-shares. They’re my favorite “advanced” stat. I have no idea how they work, what they’re supposed to be measuring, or what makes them better than other stats. I like them because I can see them easily on basketball-reference, the only NBA stats site that I can use without wanting…
