This game was a never-ending highlight reel for the Lakers. An enterprising highlight compiler (which excludes me) would simply upload this game in its entirety (minus the free-throws) with a title like “SHOWTIME LAKERS FULL HIGHLIGHTS VS HORNETS! LEBRON AND ZO TRIP-DUBS!” and watch the views roll in. It seemed like the Lakers were scoring…
Read MoreLonzo Ball Triple Double 16 Pts/10 Asts/10 Rebs Full Highlights (12/15/2018)
Two triple-doubles in the same game from the same team. Lonzo Ball and JaBroni Lames. 16-10-10 and whatever garbage statpadded numbers JaBroni put up. It may sound impressive, because the last time a pair of Lakers did this was way back when Kareem and Magic were running the showtime Lakers. But I think it was…
Read MoreMarvin Williams 20 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2018)
Are there any Marvin Williams fans still out there? There were probably at least a few when he got drafted, because he was such a high pick, but are any of them continuing to fly high the Williams banner? If you’re out there, leave a comment stating your undying allegiance to W-Marv. I figure that…
Read MoreKevin Knox 20 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2018)
Don’t look now, but Kevin Knox is averaging 10 points per game. If he keeps up this production, you will be able to look back on his rookie season five years from now and say “wow he was a pretty decent scorer for a rookie”. It’s the kind of season that doesn’t look out of…
Read MoreJoe Harris 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)
At 45.3%, Joe Harris currently eighth in the NBA in three-point percentage among players who qualify. While 8th in the entire league is pretty good, I honestly expected that percentage to net him a higher spot. For example, last year, that same percentage would have been good for second in the league behind Darren Collison…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 27 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2018)
Me and my 12-foot-tall purple 3D-printed naked plastic statue of Buddy Hield just stood there in the trees by the zoo parking lot as we heard the man give directions to several other men on how to bury whatever it was they were burying. “Can’t you assholes dig faster?” asked the voice in an annoyed…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)
Having OFFICIALLY left his twenties and entered his thirties on the very day this game was played, Nicolas Batum is now OFFICIALLY an old man. No longer a young man with endless opportunity in front of him, Batum now enters the ranks of the elderly, content to live out their final years of declining health,…
Read MoreTorrey Craig 15 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (12/14/2018)
Before this game, Torrey “Storreytime” Craig was 8-of-44 from three on the season. At 19%, that’s like Giannis levels of shooting inability. That’s like rookie John Wall levels of shooting inability, But with his 3-of-4 three-point shooting performance in this one, he’s bumped his percentage up to 23%! Still terrible, and still definitely in the…
Read MoreDaniel Theis 18 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2018)
I know that nationalism’s not exactly in vogue in Germany right now (and hasn’t been for some time), but I really need German people to get out there and support their NBA countrymen by watching their highlight videos. You’ve been doing pretty good on the Daniel Theis and Maxi Kleber videos (when they happen, which…
Read MoreDanny Green 19 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2018)
Danny Green is currently sitting at 9.9 points per game, just .1 points per game away from the magical milestone of ten points per game. I don’t know how anybody expects him to score fractions of a point given that the smallest denomination of points awarded in a standard-rules basketball contest is 1, but I’m…
