I have now heard multiple references to this season being a “career year” for J.J. Redick. It’s true that he’s averaging more points per game (18) than he ever has before (his previous best was 17 PPG last season, and that was also a “career year”). However, can it really be a career year for…
Read MoreDante Exum 20 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
A few weeks ago I wrote a letter to Australia asking for a warranty replacement on my Dante Exum. Somehow he got broken even though I didn’t drop him or treat him roughly or anything like that. It was just, like, one day he stopped working as well as he should have been. I don’t…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
Nemanja Bjelica has cooled off since his hot start, but the trend remains the same: when he does good (I’m defining “good” here as “scoring points”), the Kings do good. If he scores in single-digits, they’re almost guaranteed to lose. This trend, obviously, exists for a lot of players in the league, and it usually…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 27 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
This is what happens when you try to get by without a center, Warriors. You see what happens? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS. They tried guarding Jusuf “Maglić” Nurkic with Kevon Looney (who actually is a center but it didn’t work), and then they tried Draymond Green because everyone keeps saying that he can guard every…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 23 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
Damn, this Bogdan Bogdanovic buzzer-beating game-winner has got me all hyped up. I’m, officially, in the hype zone right now. Like, really officially. My heart is beating at a million miles per hour, my vision is tunnelling, I can’t really feel my arms, and there’s a loudening ringing in my ears. Almost deafening. If this…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 33 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
Wow, what a brutal loss for the Lakers. Kyle Kuzma did his part by hitting a few clutch buckets, and also did his part for the Kings by fouling a three-point shooter with a minute left (I didn’t see the clip, but I bet he looked SO incredulous), but on the whole, he was not…
Read MoreLonzo Ball 20 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
Apparently Lonzo Ball didn’t get a triple-double? In the future, where you’re watching this video, you’re like “duh, of course he didn’t, he only got nine rebounds!”, but in the past, where I am currently (and it sucks btw), I swear I saw the boxscore say he had 10 rebounds. And the commentators sure thought…
Read MoreLuke Kornet Career High 23 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
Anyone else getting vibes from the time Kyrie Irving went into Madison Square Garden and scored 41 points while wearing a mask? Those are the vibes I am receiving from this 23-point game by Luke “Kornhole” Kornet. There’s just something about putting on a mask that makes a performance seem way more special. Like the…
Read MoreDewayne Dedmon 18 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2018)
I have decided that what I need more of in my life is close-up shots of Dewayne Dedmon doing his customary three-pointer celebration, which is to make a “phone” with his hand and hold it up to his face, implying that he’s “dialing from three”. There is really nothing else I can think of that…
Read MoreMontrezl Harrell 22 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/26/2018)
Another straight-up beast performance by Montrezl “Mzrkhzm” Harrell. Kosta Koufos just could not hold him at all. At all. Not even a little bit. This kind of violence perpetrated against the big Greek dude should be classified as a hate crime. Or a crime against bald people. Which is also a type of hate crime….
