Since DeMarre Carroll is getting paid fifteen million dollars this season (with the consensus being that he isn’t quite worth that much money) and this is the last season of his deal, I believe that confluence of events results in him being a “trade asset” due to being an “expiring contract”. Right now I’m just…
Read MoreJohn Collins 19 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
You can tell that Hawks commentator Dominique Wilkins is a little bit agitated with John Collins’ role on the team. Multiple times in this video he opines that Collins needs more touches and needs to be emphasized more in the offense overall. The impact of that statement isn’t as hard-hitting given that Collins was tied…
Read MoreGary Harris 27 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
I was excited (one could even say…hyped) for Gary Harris to take the next step this season and turn himself into a true star in this league. Instead, he’s scoring the same PPG as last season, on way lower efficiency but higher volume (to make up for the lowered efficiency). He’s still a hella good…
Read MoreThomas Bryant 12 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
Some notes about Thomas Bryant/this game since I’m too lazy to weave these disparate points together into a logical narrative: -If you ever wondered whether Thomas Bryant could dunk, you don’t have to wait much longer unless you paused the video to read the description. -Was Thomas Bryant always this chubby-looking? The dude I remember…
Read MoreEric Gordon 26 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
Eric Gordon is slowly rounding (get it? rounding… because his head is really round! hahaha) back into form after a fairly disastrous first dozen games. Somehow, the Rockets hadn’t won any of the first two recent games where he was really good, but they won this one, and I bet that will start a trend….
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 26 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
It would be easy to blame D’Angelo Russell for tonight’s loss against the Grizzlies, since he had that costly turnover with 20 seconds left in regulation, but that wouldn’t be fair. He did so much other good stuff and honestly, I would place most of the blame on Jaren Jackson who scored 36 unearned points…
Read MoreAlex Len 19 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
Alex Len has valiantly attempted to remain NBA-relevant by adding a three-point shot to his game this year. He sort of had one last year (wait, two years ago, and I’m totally exaggerating because he only shot 12 the whole season), but it seems like he’s being encouraged to shoot it a bit more with…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 24 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
I’m looking right now at all the NBA players averaging 15 points per game, and it’s challenging my hypothesis that Jeremy Lamb was the quietest 15 ppg scorer this year. I was like “man, I bet no one besides Hornets fans and maybe some OKC stragglers realize how good he’s doing this year”, and I’m…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 25 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
It has come to my attention that Nikola “Vucci Mane” Vucevic doesn’t even like the nickname “Vucci Mane”. That’s too bad, because I really think it’s the best one that he has (even if I don’t exactly know who Gucci Mane is), but I will respect his wishes and not use it for at least…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
Furkan “The Motherfurker” “Korverkmaz” Korkmaz seems to be doing okay after reportedly demanding a trade a month ago. He’s still on the 76ers, I haven’t heard any other murmurings of discontent, and now he’s even getting to play minutes! And not just the garbagey ones. Real ones. Sometimes. Not all the time, but more than…
