After games where he scored nine, nine, and five points, pretty much every Nikola Jokic fan in the universe was pleading to their TVs/phones/wives/internet-forum-based support groups for Jokic to be more aggressive scoring-wise. Coaching and teammates (read: Paul Millsap) can shoulder some of the blame for Jokic’s low scoring output in the last three games,…

Frank Mason 16 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2018)
Frank Mason is in the odd position of shooting better from three on the year than he is from two. There are scant few players (who play actual minutes) who he shares this attribute with, players like Mirza Teletovic (I can totally believe that), Justise Winslow (what), and Lance Thomas (where are all the Lance…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 28 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)
Spoiler alert: the potential game-winning shot that Aaron Gordon hit with 5 seconds left did not end up being a game-winner. Also some really weird (in my professional opinion) stuff happened after that which has to be seen to be believed. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well at 30 frames per…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 27 Points/0 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/7/2018)
The title of this video is not a joke. Brook Lopez, who is 7 feet tall and capable of jumping at least a little bit, played 34 minutes, scored 27 points, but failed to grab even a single rebound. This is because he can only grab a rebound if a.) it comes right to him…
Read MoreSterling Brown 15 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)
Sterling “Sterling Silver Money” Brown, aside from his nickname being a work in progress, is performing nicely for the Bucks this season. His stats are wholly underwhelming, so people who don’t watch the Bucks all the time might not understand what I’m getting at here, but he passes the “doesn’t make me want to kill…
Read MoreMyles Turner 24 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)
I don’t get why Myles Turner has to be so inconsistent. Here’s what I’ve gleaned from compiling his highlights over three NBA seasons: if you want him to score points, just run pick-and-pops with him. Teams are willing to let him have the jumper a lot of the time, so he should take the jumper,…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 26 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)
The way these Pelicans commentators were talking, it seems like they didn’t like Nikola Mirotic’s shot-selection the last few games. Huh. Let’s just get one thing straight here: shot-selection is a term made up by crappy offensive players to try and shame good offensive players into shooting the ball less. You think Kobe Bryant would…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 22 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)
Lauri Markkanen has the best white-dude fro in the league since, heck, I can’t remember any recent players who rocked it at all. So we’re just going to go with Brad Davis. Lauri Markkanen has the best white-dude fro in the league since Brad Davis. It’s not even that big, yet it’s the best, which…
Read MoreDillon Brooks Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)
Dillon Brooks balled exactly hard enough to give Grizzlies fans the full load, but not so hard as to accidentally cost Memphis the loss. Perfect! Even fanbases of tanking teams want to feel like they have some young talent that is build-aroundable. Brooks is that talent! He is the “young core”. Other members of the…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 12 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2018)
Nic Batum has been on a diming spree since the All-Star break; in the eight games he’s played since then, he’s gotten 7, 8, 9, 12, 10, 8, 8, and 10 assists. His scoring has dropped off in that span, thanks to his new focus on getting his teammates involved: the most points he scored…
