James Johnson is now, officially, a three-point shooter. Before tonight, he was a “guy who shoots threes”. There is a distinction, and if you don’t know what it is, I’m not going to explain it to you. Figure it out yourself, dummy. Six made threes is the official delimiter between those two categories of players,…

Nikola Jokic 12 Points/9 Assists/5 Steals Full Highlights (4/5/2017)
Much like people wouldn’t care about Russell Westbrook’s season if he wasn’t averaging a triple-double, people won’t care about this game because Nikola Jokic was a single assist short of one. Realistically, it was about as good of a performance has some of his other triple-doubles, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is if the…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 13 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2017)
Whose fault is it that Mario Hezonja had a disappointing sophomore season in the NBA? There are arguments to be made for both sides. OFFICIAL REASONS WHY IT COULD BE MARIO’S FAULT: -It’s his job to play well -He got benched for not playing well, plain and simple -His hair flops around on his head,…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad 24 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2017)
The good thing about making Shabazz Muhammad highlights is that you’ll never have to worry about him having gotten too many assists. His season high in assists is two. Two assists. He’s so bad at passing that one of the Timberwolves commentators went in on him HARD after he charged his way into a turnover…
Read MoreGary Harris 23 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2017)
I’m a bit ashamed to admit it, but my consistently high levels of hype for Gary Harris were slightly diminished when he banked in a three-pointer off a Jokic screen. I was #hypedforgaryharris before, and I’m still #hypedforgaryharris now, but perhaps the more accurate hashtag would be #mostlyhypedforgaryharris. Because, as you all know, banking in…
Read MoreArchie Goodwin 14 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2017)
Archie Goodwin is back! Last we saw of him, he was putting up some decent-ish numbers on a bad Suns team. I’m choosing to ignore his Pelicans stint this year, in case you were wondering. That didn’t happen. So yeah, he had that streak in the middle of last season where he kept scoring 20…
Read MoreShawn Long 18 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2017)
Though he’s put together only a small portfolio, it’s looking like Shawn Long is one of those “diamonds in the rough” that the 76ers’ endless player churn sometimes turns up. Eventually, one or two of those D-League call-ups end up being someone you can play on a real team that is trying to win real…
Read MoreTimothe Luwawu-Cabarrot 19 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2017)
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot continues to impress. I don’t know if there are too many people paying attention to the 76ers these days, but whoever is is surely impressed by TLC as well. He’s been getting 30 minutes or more most games in the last month, and he’s got a few decent scoring games to show for…
Read MoreBen McLemore 22 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2017)
The vast majority, if not all, of Ben McLemore’s points tonight came as a result of the Mavericks not putting on the court anybody who could guard him effectively. That happens sometimes, it’s not unheard of, though usually the offensive player is somebody named LeBron or Durant. McLemore is definitely a stoppable player, but the…
Read MoreNicolas Brussino 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/4/2017)
The Mavericks, in all their tanking glory, just ran a lineup with Nicolas Brussino as the point guard for a big chunk of the fourth quarter tonight. Him being the PG probably wasn’t even the biggest detriment to the lineup: that would be Jarrod Uthoff and A.J. Hammons. They ended up losing, of course. Can’t…
