Reggie Jackson subbed into this game with four and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter, with the Pistons up by 6. He promptly bricked a shot, the Pistons only made one bucket the rest of the game, and they lost by 5. Jackson is unfairly made the scapegoat for many of Detroit’s woes…
Read MoreTaurean Prince 23 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2019)
As a fan of a (newly) good team, I am beginning to understand why fans of good teams are so hostile to other good teams. These are new feelings for me, having never experienced a Bucks squad anything above the threshold of “pretty okay”. But now, I wish nothing but ill on the Celtics and…
Read MoreBam Adebayo 16 Points/8 Assists/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/23/2019)
Now this is the kind of stat-stuffing performance I was unreasonably expecting regularly from Bam Adebayo this season. Truthfully, I let his Summer League performances distort my expectations, a rookie mistake. What am I, some kind of casual who things that Summer League means anything? I, as a season vet of watching role-players, should know…
Read MoreAl-Farouq Aminu 22 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2019)
I previously came up with a term for a concept that had long gone termless, and that term applies very well to Al-Farouq Aminu’s performance against the Pistons. The term is “blibbum”, and it’s a neologism for a clutch shot that isn’t a game-winner. Now, you might say, “why create a whole new word to…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/23/2019)
I don’t care if he “impacts winning” or “defends” or whatever other apologetic (not the “sorry” kind of apologetic but the “theology” kind of apologetic) crud Raptors fans want to spew in my face, but Marc Gasol just isn’t impressing me as much as Jonas Valanciunas now that they’ve switched teams. Their roles are different,…
Read MoreJeff Green 25 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2019)
The ‘Zards are totally out of the playoff hunt, if you thought that maybe, since the East is so bad, that they were still in it, nope. Not even close. It definitely feels like they have a better record than 30-44 (maybe not to ‘Zards fans), but they don’t, and even with a bunch of…
Read MoreTrae Young 32 Points/11 Assists/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (3/23/2019)
Lately, I’ve been lamenting the fact that so much of my precious highlight-making time is spent making overly long Trae Young highlight videos. I have privately and publicly wished for him to get benched as the end of the season draws near for “rest”, simply so I am not burdened by his presence on my…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/23/2019)
Yesterday, I told Buddy (my twelve-foot-tall 3D-printed purple plastic naked sentient statue of Buddy Hield that I mistakenly ordered from a custom 3D-printing place over a year ago) that he should invent his own cryptocurrency. The reason I told him to do that is so that we can do a “soft test” of his custom-designed…
Read MoreTroy Daniels 16 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2019)
If this were a just and kind world, I would, in this video description, use my skills of oratory to convince you, the reader, that Troy Daniels is being marginalized right now in Phoenix. That he isn’t getting the minutes he deserves. That he isn’t getting the looks he deserves. That he’s being blackballed out…
Read MoreRyan Broekhoff 17 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2019)
One of my most notable side hustles is the creation of high-impact nicknames for NBA players, which I then leverage against them in order to extract high volumes of royalty payments from them. As of this writing, these schemes have netted me exactly $0.00, which means I probably shouldn’t be calling it a “side hustle”,…
