I have to stop letting myself get so excited for first-half performances. Jamal Murray had 17 tonight in the first two quarters, igniting within me a flame so intense that it could only be extinguished by watching him go off in the second half. I bypassed watching my own Bucks to watch the Nuggets instead….

Andre Roberson 13 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2016)
Is Andre Roberson the next Nick Collison? I don’t mean in terms of play style or position, since they’re obviously very different players, but I mean in terms of being that guy who stays on one team for his whole career just for being a good role player who doesn’t demand the ball or whine…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 16 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2016)
Alvin Gentry is in win-now mode. The Pelicans as an organization might not be, but Gentry was playing for his job for a little while there. New Orleans has won a few games since getting off to that horrible start, but I’m sure Gentry doesn’t want to risk any more losing streaks. Hence, the banishing…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 21 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/4/2016)
I’m a big fan of Serge Ibaka’s new-ish “Thumbs Down” celebration after blocking a shot. Doing the finger wag was too blatantly copying Dikembe, and Ibaka is a good enough shoot blocker to be able to use his own gesture. This new gesture is cheeky but not wholly ridiculous. It’s even better when the opposing…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 19 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2016)
The Knicks keep winning games. This is a surprise to me; looking at their roster, they have only a few NBA-level talents. Compared to the rest of their roster, their PG rotation is completely filled to the brim with talent: Derrick Rose and Brandon Jennings. That’s a kind of legit one-two punch at lead guard….
Read MoreSergio Rodriguez 15 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/3/2016)
I was introduced to a new nickname for Sergio Rodriguez during last night’s 76ers broadcast: “Spanish Chocolate”. I guess it’s supposed to be a homage to White Chocolate Jason Williams, but it actually reminds me more of when Alaa Abdelnaby came up with the ultra-lame “Bus Driver” nickname for Jahlil Okafor (’cause he takes people…
Read MoreMatthew Dellavedova 18 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2016)
This video must have the highest floaters-to-normal shots ratio in any highlight video I have ever made (since I have yet to make any kind of floaterilation). Usually Delly will supplement his savvy floater game with some three pointers, but in this video we get like one Chris Paul-esque midrange jumper and then it’s just…
Read MoreJohn Henson 20 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2016)
The Bucks organization must have relented on some kind of “no Chipotle in the locker room” rule or something because John “Chipotle Fiend” Henson has been playing inspired basketball for the past few games. Now that Henson is finally able to enjoy multiple stuffed-to-bursting Chipotle burritos before every game and even during halftime, he shows…
Read MoreDorian Finney-Smith 11 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2016)
The only thing I know about Dorian “Mode” Finney-Smith is that he has been among the least productive starters in the league, at least in terms of raw point totals. He’s averaging four points per game right now, and that’s including this eleven-point outlier game. Off the top of my head, only Pascal Siakam approaches…
Read MorePascal Siakam 14 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2016)
Forget what I said about Dario Saric being the second-best rookie so far this season. I take that back. It isn’t the wrongest thing I’ve ever claimed in one of these godforsaken description boxes, but it was still wrong. You get one chance to guess who I REALLY think the second-best rookie is. One chance,…
