Only 2 assists? I don’t want to live in a universe where the next Pistol Pete is so misused that he can only get 2 assists during a whole regulation-length NBA game. I want out. Send me to another universe, please. One with regular Rubio 20-assist games and also one with a formulation of Hot…
Read MoreLangston Galloway 24 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2018)
Every team needs “shooters”. This is 2018. You can’t get away with just trying to dunk it every possession, as fun as that might be to try. The concept of spacing is too firmly entrenched in the NBA psyche to ignore. The Pistons, just looking at their roster right now, are probably struggling a bit…
Read MoreFrank Ntilikina 18 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2018)
We just witnessed, by far, the most explosive scoring outburst that Frank Ntilikina has ever had. Maybe really ever, usually I mean “in the NBA” when I say “ever”, but not this time. I really think that maybe this was the hottest he had ever been on the basketball court. If you just watched this…
Read MoreKevin Knox 26 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2018)
Normally I would hold the fact that Kevin Knox took 25 shots to get his 26 points against him, but I’m feeling differently tonight. Because right now, I’m thinking, who else on the Knicks would I rather have taking those shots instead? And the answer is no one except for Frank Ntilikina or Luke Kornet….
Read MoreSemi Ojeleye 13 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)
I had closed all my highlight-making programs and was ready to call it quits for the day when I randomly remembered that Semi Ojeleye had tied a career-high in points with thirteen. So, begrudgingly, I reopened all those programs and got to working making this video. And now I’m begrudglingly writing a video description to…
Read MoreRondae Hollis-Jefferson 20 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)
I’ve been optimistic in the past that Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and his spastic, unorthodox scoring game can find a place in this league. But my optimism can’t help but me dampened when the stats present us with the following fact: RHJ has regressed across the board from last season to this season. From 14 PPG on…
Read MoreDwyane Wade 25 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/8/2018)
Since the last time I gave my subscribers an update, I’ve made some upgrades to my home steroids lab in my bathroom that have resulted in a better product. The first thing I did was move the operation to my kitchen, since I didn’t have room in the bathroom for all the equipment. I originally…
Read MoreTristan Thompson 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/8/2018)
I know that Matthew Dellavedova didn’t play in this game, but his glorious return to Cleveland also signals the return of the fabled Tristan Thompson-Matthew Dellavedova lob connection, which for a period of time seemed to be the most prolific lob connetion in the NBA. Tristan Thompson, when he’s not catching lobs, is a player…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 20 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)
There was a time not too long ago when a twenty-point game by Thaddeus Young was not only an expected occurrence, but a common one. In the 2013-14 season, his last with the 76ers, Young scored twenty or more points 29 times. This year, nearly a third of the way through the season, he’s only…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 22 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/8/2018)
This video is cool because, out of Jusuf Nurkic’s four blocks, ALL FOUR of them were legit. NBA scorekeepers are notorious for handing out blocks that meet nobody’s definition of a block, but the shots that Nurkic swatted last night would meet anybody’s definition of a block. There’s nothing worse than going into a highlight…
