By my calculations (which are extremely precise and accurate, being as I am an erudite mathematical scholar), this game propels Frank Jackson from 39.7% shooting on the season to 40.5% shooting. By shooting 12-of-24 from the field, he has turned his season from a “poor shooting season” to a “good shooting season”. That’s the magic…

Boban Marjanovic 18 Points Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
An open letter to Dallas Mavericks Coach Rick Carlisle: “Dear Rick, Please give Boban Marjanovic more minutes. Signed, -DTB and the Official DTB Serbia Fanclub” This is literally a letter that I just wrote on fancy stationary (using a fancy gel pen that has glitter in it). Then I put it in a fancy envelope,…
Read MoreTalen Horton-Tucker 14 Points Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
Talen “THT Patrol” Horton-Tucker: is he another one of those end-of-season, end-of-bench Lakers players who has an okay stretch of games right before the playoffs and then doesn’t even get another NBA contract? Or is he one of those end-of-season, end-of-bench Lakers players who actually ends up having a role with the team the next…
Read MoreDonte DiVincenzo 17 Points Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
I was really pleased with how Donte DiVincenzo played during the “regular” regular season. His shooting was drastically improved from year one to year two, and so was his everything else. But now, in the “bubble” regular season, DiVincenzo hasn’t been playing as well. In particular, his shooting has fallen off a cliff, and that…
Read MoreFrank Mason 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
After these last couple games from Frank Mason, I have changed my tune. No longer do I think he is some absolute fringe scrub who doesn’t deserve to be on an NBA roster any more than any of the other 400 G-Leaguers that are waiting for their chance. Now I think that he is an…
Read MoreJa Morant Triple Double 12 Pts/13 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
Ja Morant and Jonas Valanciunas (a combo affectionately known to me Jorant Jalanciunas) each recorded a triple-double in this game. That is an exceedingly rare circumstance; I can’t find an authoritative source, but I did find a non-authoritative source (a Reddit thread) which alleged that there were ten such occurrences in NBA history, the most…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 31 Points Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
Am I understanding this situation right? Dillon Brooks was pretty much solely responsible for the Grizzlies’ slipping playoff chances up until this game. Every loss the ‘Zlies had in The Bubb is pretty much directly attributable to him and him alone. If any other players on the ‘Zlies appeared to play poorly, it was because…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas Triple Double 26 Pts/19 Rebs/12 Asts Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
Four days ago, Jonas Valanciunas recorded the stunning statline of 0/10/1 in 25 minutes, going 0-of-2 from both the field and the line. That was also the ‘Zlies only win in The Bubb up until that point, a fact which I am writing off as purely coincidental. My question is, how does a guy who…
Read MoreThomas Bryant 26 Points Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
I, like many others, thought that, with the lack of a crowd in these bubble games, we would hear a lot more of what’s really going on on the hardwood. Straight from the players’ sailorly mouths. Loudly. Repeatedly. Explicitly. The NBA was too smart for us, though, realizing the implications that an unfiltered audio experience…
Read MoreDion Waiters 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
Oops, totally forgot to put something here for this Dion Waiters vid, that’s what I get for being so hyped about Thomas Bryant (Lakers fans punching the air rn) I guess. Why waste time telling everyone what I really think about Waiters when I could be immortalizing yet another dominant game by Bryant? Smart people…
