Bojan Bogdanovic: number one option on the Pacers since Victor Oladipo got injured? I’m not sure if the concept of “number one option” exists on the Pacers right now, but if it does, I’m just going to go ahead and say that he is it. Who else would it even be? Bogdanovic might not seem…
Read MoreJoakim Noah 13 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)
Joakim Noah is back! I don’t if he ever really “left”, because he didn’t actually miss a whole season, but it had certainly been a while since we saw him. He had played actual minutes as recently as January last year for the Knicks, and we’re not even out of 2018 yet, so it’s not…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 24 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (12/7/2018)
In the process of gathering material for the composition of this description, I ventured over to Wikipedia to check out Lauri Markkanen’s article. But not his English-language entry. The one in Finnish. Because I want to know what actual Finnish people think about him. I was like “how hard could it be, reading Finnish, it’s…
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 30 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (12/7/2018)
This is one of those highlight videos where you have to have a serious conversation with your doctor before you watch it. It’s just SO MUCH De’Aaron Fox, all at once. It’s not like an IV drip of Fox. It’s like an Ice Bucket Challenge-sized bucket of ice water being dumped on your head. It’s…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 18 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2018)
I think Joe Ingles spoiled us all by shooting 44% from deep over the past two seasons. This season, he’s shooting 39%, which is pretty good, but it just seems terrible compared to the last two seasons. When it comes to Jinglin’ Joe, I expect a three-point percentage that starts with a four. Any NBA…
Read MoreMichael Carter-Williams 13 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2018)
In his rookie year, a thirteen-point game from Michael Carter-Williams would have been roughly the fiftieth-best game of his season. It would have been completely unnotable. Now, those same thirteen points, previously considered below average for MCW, are heralded as a cause worthy of celebration. This is the perfect illustration of the precipitous decline that…
Read MoreDante Exum 15 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/6/2018)
Is it too early to write Dante Exum off? This would be his fifth season in the league, except he missed the entirety of what would have been his second season and a large chunk of his third season due to injury. Thanks to those injuries, we’ll never know what kind of player he would…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 24 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (12/6/2018)
It’s been a while since I gave you guys an update on my “Flavors of Favors” line of cookbooks. After failing to sell any of the first edition (it was bound with twine – a real collector’s item if I do say so myself), I created a second edition with a higher production quality entitled…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 21 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2018)
There’s a lot of doom and gloom surrounding the Celtics’ season, but the fact remains that they’re 14-10, there’s literally no way that they miss the playoffs (unless their team plane crashes and kills everyone on board [except Guerschon Yabusele whose voluminous booty will bear the brunt of his impact], in which case there’s no…
Read MoreJake Layman Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2018)
Big congratulations to Jake Layman for avoiding the dreaded “MCW-itis”, the condition where you peak in your first ever NBA game. Named after notorious first-game-peaker Michael Carter-Williams, players with the condition possess the unique ability to only get worse as their NBA career goes along, never better. Layman scored 17 points in 8 minutes in…
