The Blazers had no one even available to play tonight who could realistically stop Tristan Thompson. Here were their options: -Skal Labissiere -Anthony Tolliver -Carmelo Anthony -Nassir Little???? Labissiere is long, but doesn’t hold up well when confronted with excessive physicality like the kind Thompson possesses. Little is a midget small forward who plays like…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 25 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2019)
I’m still working on my exclusion list (I swear one day I will finish it), and I haven’t gotten to Domantas Sabonis yet, but when I do, I’m going to have to have a long, honest conversation with myself over his eligibility on my channel of role-players and scrubs. The fact of the matter is,…

Read MoreJonathan Isaac Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2019)
It seems like whenever your hear a report from Woj that so-and-so “is off the table in trade talks”, it’s some totally average player who there’s no reason to get too attached to. Someone like Jayson Tatum or Josh Richardson. Good players, but that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t absolutely be traded if the right…
Read MoreDe’Andre Hunter 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/23/2019)
You know how annoying it is when a team is for sure going to lose a game but some jerk decides to keep hitting threes so that the game gets dragged out into infinity with free throws? Real annoying, for sure (especially when it actually results in a win like what Zach LaVine did to…
Read MoreCoby White 28 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2019)
Zach LaVine, with his 49 points, 13 threes, and game-winning shot, is the hero of this miraculous win against the Hornets, but let’s not forget about the contributions of Coby White. First off, he was a big part of the trio who successfully forced the Hornets into the late turnover that cost them the game,…
Read MoreGlenn Robinson 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/22/2019)
I didn’t really expect it, but Glenn Robinson III is actually looking pretty decent for this injury-ravaged Warriors squad. You always wonder with role-players if their stats would hold up when given a larger role. It’s fun to look at per-36 stats and start extrapolating like crazy, but the real world doesn’t work like that….
Read MoreGarrett Temple 18 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2019)
The Brooklyn Nets made enough high-profile acquisitions over the summer that the acquisition of the steady but unexciting Garrett Temple didn’t really grab anybody’s attention. But if you break things down, you see that Temple might have been the most important addition to the Nets: KEVIN DURANT: This guy isn’t even playing. Temple is playing….

OFFICIAL LIST OF PEOPLE WHO EXPECTED KY BOWMAN TO BE THIS GOOD 1. Ky Bowman 2. Ky Bowman’s mom 3. Ky Bowman’s friends from his hometown 4. Warriors fans who only watch two games a year 5. Boston College homers who don’t know anything about the NBA game OFFICIAL LIST OF PEOPLE WHO DID NOT…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/22/2019)
I’m worried about Spencer Dinwiddie’s three-point shooting. He’s shooting 28% on a career-high volume. While the rest of his game is just as it ever was, his regression in this facet of the game definitely has me, if not wallowing in a tar-pit of despair, at least dipping my toes into the despair-pit. I don’t…
