After being an afterthought for the entire year last season, Thomas Bryant is now the starting center for a playoff contender in the East. Yeah, the ‘Zards are not so good right now, but they’re looking better. They’re on the upswing. They’re not too far from .500 which is basically a guaranteed playoff spot in…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2018)
I’d like to introduce a new term I came up with just now: “Hack-a-Marjanovic”. It’s like Hack-a-Shaq, except instead of purposefully fouling a player because you know that he sucks at free throws, it’s where you keep fouling a player, but not intentionally, because the player is simply too much of a beast to not…
Read MoreJohn Collins Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
DownToBuck is facing a trifecta of issues right now that may affect highlight uploadment tonight. The universe is conspiring against him and his agenda to free the role-players of the NBA from the cloaking blanket of obscurity by shining spotlights in their direction. Issue one: the people ahead of me in the drive through at…
Read MoreKyle Korver 15 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
The Jazz are currently out of the playoffs. With so much season left to go, and with the West as competitive as it is, that statement doesn’t hold a whole lot of weight. But there it is. I only bring it up because, if the Jazz do fail to make the playoffs, the feel-good trade…
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 20 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
Jakob Poeltl was staring at his locker, looking for the second sock of a pair (the first sock being already on his foot), when a hazy apparition appeared in front of him. As Jakob watched with astonishment, it slowly coalesced and gained form until it took the unmistakable shape of a human. The spirit-cloud was…
Read MoreMyles Turner 18 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
About two years ago, I repeatedly made the (then possibly controversial) observation that Myles Turner might be better than Jabari Parker, and that he was the one I would choose if forced to pick between the two. That was during the 2016-17 season; how are things different now? Neither one is playing as well as…
Read MoreHarry Giles 13 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
When the score for a game sits at 35-9 after one quarter, you know you’re about to see some serious scrub action. I couldn’t wait for the fourth quarter of this one, as the Kings totally whipped the Suns right out of the gate and then played around with their Hairy Jyles for the rest…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 21 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
Another game for Luka Doncic where he doesn’t seem to be doing that well and then you look at the boxscore at the end and what do you know, he has 20 points again. That’s how players average 20 points, you know. They don’t always do it in an exciting, in your face way. They…
Read MoreDe’Anthony Melton 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
OFFICIAL 2018 SECOND-ROUND ROOKIES WHO’VE SCORED 20-PLUS POINTS IN A SINGLE GAME POWER RANKINGS 1. De’Anthony Melton No, I didn’t forget any names in the power rankings. De’Anthony Melton is the only rookie picked in the second round of this year’s draft to score 20 or more points in a game so far. Honorable mention…
Read MoreDarren Collison 23 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
Darren Collison is currently in the process of ruining my life. Do you think I want to be here making a cruddy little highlight video for him? Heck no. I find him as bland and uninteresting as the majority of NBA fans. Nothing about him arouses any excitement in me. He is the most generic…
