Being the backup PG to Russell Westbrook has to be one of the worst gigs in the NBA, second only to being a starter on a Thibodeau-coached team. Even worse if you are the backup PG to Russell Westbrook even though you averaged 20 points per game as a starter the year before. Is it…
Read MorePascal Siakam 25 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
Pascal Siakam attempted only one shot in the fourth quarter of this close loss to the Thunder. It didn’t go in, but that’s not really the point. The point is that the Raptors have this dude, this Siakam, this MIP Improved Player candidate, and they ignored him in a tight game in favor of Kawhi…
Read MoreJoe Harris 26 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
I haven’t had a chance to congratulate Joe Harris on his exciting three-point contest victory during All-Star weekend. He’s been too busy enjoying the perks of being a three-point champion (hot women, international fame, money, etc.) to have a performance worthy of my channel. And now it’s been so long, I can’t really remember the…
Read MoreJaVale McGee Career High 33 Points/20 Rebounds/6 Blocks Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
JaVale McGee sat cross-legged on the locker room floor, a screwdriver in one hand, a soldering iron in the other, looking confused. “JaVale, what the heck are you doing?” LeBron James said as he walked into the room, trying and failing to contain his exasperation towards his immature, scatter-brained teammate. “Science fair project?” Looking up…
Read MoreChandler Parsons 17 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
I’m thinking that Chandler Parsons is still a bit out of shape. Not only does he look like he’s out of shape, but, in this game, he was doing good things until about halfway through the second quarter, and from that point on, he only did bad things. Not-so-coincidentally, the first quarter and a half…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
While making this highlight video, I couldn’t help but be distracted by the mysterious red circle on the front of Evan Fournier’s shoulder. It was like a beacon to me. I watched it move across my screen every time I was supposed to be paying attention to the buckets and passes that Fournier was making….
Read MoreBryn Forbes 20 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
I would say that Bryn Forbes did a decent job of matching James Harden tonight. Harden scored 61, which is only 41 points more than Forbes himself scored. 41 points isn’t that much in the grand scheme of things; only about a quarter-and-a-half’s worth of play for your average basketball team. Imagine how much of…
Read MoreMitchell Robinson 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
It wasn’t that long ago that DeAndre Jordan was considered to be part of a “big three” for the Clippers. Immediately after that, he became a coveted free agent. Now, he’s on the Knicks, and nobody (I mean NOBODY) is treating the Knicks like they have a top-five center in the game. And if you…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 31 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
If the Orlando Magic make the playoffs (which still has a 40% chance of happening according to the inerrant basketball-reference), whoever’s the first seed should be very, very afraid of Terrence Ross. He’s turned it up a notch this season, becoming the premier off-the-bench shooter in the NBA. What if he has another notch to…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 23 Points/24 Rebounds/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
Here’s a question for you: how many 20-20 games have there been in the NBA this season? I’m talking 20 points and 20 rebounds here, because I know for a fact that no one has gotten 20 assists. I, apparently, have a totally warped idea of how many such games have been occurring. Warped in…
