Elfrid Payton has now recorded THREE straight triple-doubles for the Pelicans. I’m guessing that’s not any kind of NBA record both because Russell Westbrook exists and because the commentators didn’t lose their minds with joy at the exact moment that Payton scored his tenth point, but it’s still a Pelicans record. While the first triple-double…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 22 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
Kelly Oubre carefully placed the fourth of four iPhones on a tripod pointed at a spot in front of the locker-room mirror. The other three iPhones were also on tripods and varying distances from the apparent focus of the shot, a stool sitting in front of the mirror. “Hey Richaun, come over here and make…
Read MoreDanuel House 18 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
This is Danuel House’s first NBA action since January 14. In the intervening two months, after he ran out of NBA eligibility on his two-way contract, he has spent his time in what I call “The Desolate Contractual Void”. The Desolate Contractual Void (shortened to “DCV” or just “The Void”) is not a pleasant place…
Read MoreLangston Galloway 23 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
Langston Galloway recently had twelve straight three-point makes. He was one short of tying the record which was coheld by Terry Mills and Brent Price (who are totally not the guys you would expect to hold a record this prestigious). If he just hit his next three-point attempt after that, he could co-cohold the record…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 20 Points/3 Blocks/5 Dunks Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
The Lakers’ enjoyable (for the rest of us) downward slide continues with a loss to a team that’s not exactly an Eastern Conference powerhouse in the Detroit Pistons. LeBron James AKA Jabroni Lames AKA NoDefense SuckBalls didn’t play, so we can attribute the loss to that fact and that fact alone, but that’s not going…
Read MoreKhem Birch 13 Points Full Highlights (3/14/2019)
Khem “The AlKhemist” Birch ended last season with a unprecedented streak of 6 consecutive double-digit scoring games. “Unprecedented” in that he had never come close to doing such a thing before, not in that no one ever in the history of the NBA had done such a thing. On the contrary, I can think of…
Read MoreJalen Brunson 20 Points Full Highlights (3/14/2019)
Jalen Brunson, like almost everyone on the Mavericks, didn’t score any points in the fourth quarter of this game against the Nuggets, a game which ended with them losing by one. Luka Doncic did the bulk of the scoring in the quarter, with 8 points, while Dwight Powell added two free throws. And that was…
Read MorePaul Millsap 33 Points Full Highlights (3/14/2019)
I’ve been dissing Paul Millsap for the whole time he’s been on the Nuggets, and I will continue to diss him until I’m all dissed out (and if he robs Nikola Jokic of a title this year by being himself, I’m not going to be dissed out for a long time). But there’s no question…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 24 Points/9 Assists/1 Dunk Full Highlights (3/14/2019)
Luka Doncic was already a lock for the ROTY of the Year award, but how much MORE of a lock would he be if had the opportunity to put “game winning poster dunk on national TV” on his resume? He could put it right between the bullet points that say “6 years experience playing Fortnite…
Read MoreAlex Caruso 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/14/2019)
As usual, I had a reason for not putting “Career High” in the title of this video (I don’t just forget about things as important as a role-player’s career high). Yes, it’s true: 16 points are the most points Alex Caruso has ever scored in a game. Not just in the NBA, but in college…
