So, Devin Booker was out for this game (I consider his injury suspicious because of the whole tanking thing that’s going on league-wide, but I’ll keep my mouth shut), and a warm body had to be found to soak up those minutes – what better warm body to use as a minutes-sponge than Devin Booker…

Ian Clark 19 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
Ian “The Clarksman” Clark did me a favor by having a good scoring game immediately after I conceived of his new moniker. Now I look like a genius for coming up with a nickname that praises his shooting ability. For now, just pretend that this video isn’t nothing but floaters, and also pretend that floaters…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 21 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
I’ve ragged heavily on Jusuf Nurkic in the past for being out-of-control with his scoring moves and for taking ill-advised shots. I’m not going to backtrack and say that he wasn’t doing those things in past games, because he definitely was, but I will acknowledge that Nurkic was under control and composed in this game,…
Read MoreAl-Farouq Aminu 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
Al-Farouq Aminu looks slightly less like a hobo now that he’s got hair constrained in braids of some kind, but he still mostly looks like a disheveled hobo who could have drunkenly stumbled into the arena and procured from the gift shop a jersey with his name blazoned across the back. Maybe security tried to…
Read MoreShelvin Mack 17 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
It’s really cool that the Magic brought in Tracy McGrady to talk about stuff while his old team played the Raptors. I’m sure he had some great insight/anecdotes/jokes or whatever. But he kind of totally ruined these Shelvin Mack highlights. Mack did his damage in the second quarter, coincidentally the exact time T-Mac was taking…
Read MoreJeff Teague 20 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
I don’t want to make Jeff Teague highlights, no one wants to watch Jeff Teague highlights, but here we are. Looking at three full minutes of Jeff Teague highlights and wondering where everything went so wrong. I could’ve made highlights of Boban Marjanovic scoring 4 points like 20 times in the time it took to…
Read MoreSean Kilpatrick 15 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
It’s so easy to forget that Sean “$ean$wag” Kilpatrick averaged 13 points per game last season. It might have been the least impactful 13 ppg ever in the history of all things, but he did it, and that takes skill. That skill, presumably, is still there to some degree, so why is he scrounging around…
Read MoreAlex Len 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
Alex Len has accepted who he is. He has excised the midrange jumper from his repertoire, and now operates almost exclusively around the basket. His percentages were really bad while he was trying to show the Suns that they didn’t draft only a garbageman. I have to imagine that they did think they were getting…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 16 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
The Pistons are getting to the point where they should give up trying to win games and just develop some talent for next year. Note that this different from tanking. They are way too far ahead (behind) of the other tanking teams for additional losing to help their draft slot. There is a subtle difference…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 23 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
What’s up with all these people who want to beef with Ricky Rubio? He is a participant in more beefs than any active NBA player, I think, and these aren’t fake Twitter beefs, these are PHYSICAL beefs. I wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps a makeshift shiv in his shoe, because it seems like every…
