Jamal Murray 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

Just nine more points, and Jamal Murray would have averaged ten points per game on the year. He would have joined elite company in terms of 2016 draftees who did the same: Buddy Hield and Malcolm Brogdon. That’s actually not very elite company but it is when compared to the rest of the scrubbusts (that’s…

Pat Connaughton Career High 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

If you were in possession of a time machine, and used your time machine to go back to the end of last season, a season where Pat Connaughton had scored one point per game on 26% shooting, and told me that that same dude would one day put up a 19/7/7 statline in the NBA,…

Shabazz Napier 25 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

LeBron must be sitting somewhere in Ohio, smirking at the box-scores on his phone and thinking, “I told everybody this guy can play”. Remember, the sole reason Shabazz Napier was drafted by the Heat in 2014 was because LeBron tweeted about him, and the Heat wanted LeBron to be happy. It was a classic case…

Paul Zipser Career High 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

Paul “The Zipper” Zipser will never live up to his nickname, which could either mean “a guy who’s fast” or “a guy who locks people up with his defense”. Speed can’t be taught and Zipser doesn’t have it; defense CAN be taught, but players with his attributes (okay you made me say it he’s WHITE…

Norman Powell 25 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

One of the Raptor’s commentators (I think it’s Jack Armstrong) spent the entire broadcast hinting that Norman Powell should get lots of minutes in the playoffs at the expense of DeMarre Carroll’s minutes. I never heard him specifically say “Carroll shouldn’t play as much”, in fact I never even heard him say the name “DeMarre…

Malik Beasley Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

I should have known that, one game after Malik Beasley’s then-career-high 16-point performance, the Nuggets would play only 7 guys and Beasley would have no choice but to set a new career high. I should have known, and it was foolish of me to put “Career High” in the title of that first vid when…

Trey Burke 27 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

Trey “Treyburkulosis” Burke has been one of the most bench-buried players in the league this season. He was, at the beginning of the season, getting some amount of backup PG minutes, maybe not as many as a player of his caliber (or at least draft pedigree) should have been getting, but some. Then the Wizards…

Aaron Gordon 32 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

I don’t think I’m ever going to be done being mad about how the Magic tried to ruin Aaron Gordon by bringing in Serge Ibaka. I mean, it’s good that they rectified their mistake by trading his ass away as soon as it was clear that they weren’t going to make the playoffs (again). That…

Marshall Plumlee 14 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

The season ends with me having done Marshall Plumlee highlights but not Miles Plumlee highlights. This is humorous because of their respective contract situations; Miles is getting paid 15 million per season, while Marshall is compensated for his play with a free gyro every day. Marshall looks, as far as I can tell, basically the…

Boban Marjanovic 14 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

Man, I’m kind of descriptioned-out after writing all three of those Curry three-ilation stories in the span of about 10 minutes. Deadlines are the truest source of inspiration, and now that I don’t really have a deadline, I don’t know what to write about. Boban Marjanovic is the obvious candidate for subject matter, the Detroit…
