Damn. This video has a lot of midrange jumpers. If you count free throws, which are a form of midrange jumper in my opinion, the number goes up even higher. 15 points worth of points scored in between the paint and the three-point arc, and then a really lame floater/layup thing that ruins the flow…

Read MoreMarcelo Huertas 10 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/7/2016)
I miss the curly mop of hair that Marcelo “Hurtass” Huertas was sporting last year. It made him look like a Hobbit and it opened the door to Lord of the Rings-themed descriptions, a door which I only tentatively placed a single toe through. I would love to step more boldly through that door and…
Read MoreSean Kilpatrick 22 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2016)
Kenny Atkinson pulled aside Sean Kilpatrick during the pregame shootaround. “What’s up, coach?” Sean asked, worriedly wondering if he had somehow broken some team code of conduct. Kenny took his player by the shoulders and stared him straight in the eye. “You know how you scored 39 points that other night? Do that again.” Sean…
Read MoreWayne Ellington 19 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2016)
Wayne “Beef W” Ellington is the guy that teams sign to shore up their bench shooting, and then it turns out that he’s actually borderline starter material since he can fit in next to the alpha types who shoot twenty shots a game. But he’s also the guy that, if you end up starting him,…
Read MoreGarrett Temple 17 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2016)
One of the puzzling things that the Kings keep doing every offseason is overpaying “quality”, high-character role players. It’s like they expect the Garrett Temples of the world to turn into something more than they are. Every outside observer knows that Garrett Temple has finished improving as a player and is a known quantity, but…
Read MoreJoe Harris 16 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2016)
It turns out that Joe Harris is actually a decent scorer. He doesn’t do anything else (assists and rebounds are practically nonexistent for him, and who knows if he plays defense because I don’t care whether or not he does), but he’s shooting efficiently this year and it seems like I every time I see…
Read MoreWilson Chandler 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/7/2016)
This is exactly the kind of game Wilson Chandler needs to have on a regular basis in order to solidify his 6MOTY Of The Year candidacy. If he scored over twenty in every single game from this point forward, and his scoring skill didn’t somehow convince his coach to insert him into the starting lineup,…
Read MoreJulius Randle 21 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2016)
I’m sure you’ve seen (or even participated in) those internet discussions where greasy nerds discuss hypothetical animal battles. Stuff like 5 gorillas vs. 50 angry wildebeests or a trillion bees vs. 1000 highly trained military personnel. No one ever gets anywhere, because obviously you can’t test that kind of stuff out, but it’s still kinda…
Read MoreMyles Turner 20 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (12/7/2016)
Myles Turner: yet another innocent victim of a league driven insane by the allure of the three-point shot. OR Myles Turner: grateful beneficiary of a league where crude positional designations no longer determine what shots one can and cannot take. Which statement contains the truth, and which statement holds only lies? The funny thing about…
