I wonder how many times Jazz coach Quin Snyder has told Donovan Mitchell to stop chucking so many swaggy threes. He doesn’t seem like the kind of coach who would be very tolerant of this particular rookie’s propensity for showmanship, but Mitchell also doesn’t seem like the type to ever stop shooting no matter what…

Austin Rivers 25 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2017)
“Dear Diary, I did a bad thing. A very bad thing. Everyone thinks it was an accident. But I know it wasn’t. When dumby butt-face Chris got traded, I knew Blake and me were going to become best friends. He was always so nice to me even when Chris was making me cry. But then…
Read MoreAlec Burks 28 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2017)
Alec Burks is now in his seventh season with the Jazz. Seven seasons of potential and some production, but mostly just injuries. Looking at Utah’s roster during his rookie year, the only one remaining is Derrick Favors. That’s actually not so bad; lots of teams’ longest-tenured player has only been around for three or four…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 20 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2017)
Apparently, after tonight, Lauri “Saippuakivikauppias” Markkanen has set the record for most made threes in the first 20 games of a career. Kind of an arbitrary cutoff, but I can find stats way more arbitrary, so it’s all good. I’m not going to tell you how many threes that is, because I want it to…
Read MoreWill Barton Career High 37 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (11/30/2017)
I’m really digging this whole “basically no more timeouts at the end of games ever” thing that the NBA has implemented. The end of tonight’s Nuggets-Bulls game was great! Chicago makes a shot to take the lead, then Denver comes right back and makes another shot, and the Bulls have to try and do their…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 22 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2017)
I admit, I thought Ersan Ilyasova was kind of done this year. It was not a happy thought for me, but seeing all the similar players on the Hawks roster that were balling out, I had to accept the truth. Or, what I thought was the truth. Turns out, Ilyasova, despite being like five years…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 23 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2017)
In my last Thaddeus Young vid, I debuted a new award that intended to advance the cause of role players and scrubs in the NBA. It’s called the SORPWWOAGB award. That’s a lot of letters for just one acronym, so I’ll spell it out for you: “Scrub or Role Player Who Went Out And Got…
Read MoreLonzo Ball 15 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/29/2017)
Lonzo Ball may be having one of the worst non-Marcus Smart non-50’s white dude shooting stretches for an NBA player to start his career, but at least he’s doing the other stuff as advertised. His passing isn’t as transcendent as maybe it looked in Summer League, but unless your name is Greivis Vasquez, you don’t…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 22 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2017)
Kelly Oubre lay slumped in a booth in the far corner of a downtown Philadelphia bar. In front of him was an astounding collection of empty beer bottles. Despite his being a prominent NBA player who had just played a game in that city on that night, nobody was bothering him. In fact, Kelly suspected…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 12 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/29/2017)
Doing a quick delve into the treasure trove of information that basketball-reference provides, I found a little tidbit that perfectly validates my conception of Luke Kennard: he’s shooting over 50% on midrange shots, a stat which jives with all the highlight videos I’ve made for him up to this point, since all those videos show…
