Davis Bertans is actually surprisingly close to becoming a member of the 50/40/90 club. He’s at 46% on three-pointers this season and 92% on free throws. That’s two of the three requirements already met, and one could argue that those are the most difficult requirements. He’s shooting a paltry 49% from the field, so he…
Read MoreOmri Casspi 20 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
By my reckoning, this twenty point game by Omri “The Casstrator” Casspi was a revenge game in two ways. Firstly, Casspi was playing against his former team, the GoLen State Larriors (because they have all L’s and no D, at least not against Casspi). Do you think it’s a coincidence that Casspi’s first twenty-point game…
Read MoreHarry Giles 13 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
This was a great chance for Harry Giles to show his stuff. With the Kings getting their butt kicked hard right from the get-go, and with Dave Joerger making a point to the starters (I don’t know what kind of point, but it was definitely something) by benching them for the vast majority of the…
Read MoreShai Gilgeous-Alexander 24 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
The art of the midrange lives on in young Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. No one told him that the cool kids only shoot threes now. He does what he wants, and what he wants is to worm his way in to about 14 feet from the basket and take a jumper. His name is long, but his…
Read MoreStanley Johnson 20 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
It’s taken a while, three long years of patience from Pistons fans, but Stanley Johnson is finally turning into a not-horrible offensive player. After tonight’s performance, he’s crawled over the 40 percent mark for field goal shooting on a season, something he has never done before. At least, something he has never done before as…
Read MoreReggie Bullock 24 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
Looking at the Pistons schedule so far, is it a coincidence that there seems to be a clear correlation between Reggie Bullock playing and the Pistons winning? Detroit’s two losing streaks coincide almost excactly with the two times he’s been injured. My hypothesis, which is based only on my preconceived notions of Bullock as a…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 14 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
Just putting it out there: I am not salty at all over the fact that Mario “Crobe” Hezonja dunked “on” Giannis Antetokounmpo and then, on his way back up the court, stepped over his vanquished foe’s dunked-on body laying prone on the hardwood. It’s easy to say that he’s not good enough to do stuff…
Read MoreDeandre Ayton 21 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
Pictured in the thumbnail: Deandre Ayton smiling for the first time all season. Things have been pretty grim over in Phoenix this season. NBA players don’t like to lose, and the Suns have been doing almost nothing but since opening night (a night where they actually won, what are the odds?). Did I catch wind…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 26 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
One thing I’ve noticed while doing all these T.J. Warren highlights is that it really sucks that he’s hitting threes this year because we have to sit through that whole “Fulton Homes” monologue every time. It’s great that he’s taking a bunch of threes and making an elite percentage of them, but it’s becoming clear…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay 32 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
I was, before Emmanuel Mudiay decided to be all good all of a sudden for no reason, ready to see him sent off to China in a 16th-century trading vessel in exchange for a literal boatload of exotic spices and fragrances. That’s where he started his career, and I thought that’s where he’d continue finishing…
