Does that thumbnail look really… arty? To you? Like it looks like a piece of art you’d find in a hip restaurant or something? I’m entranced. It’s like somebody painted it and made it look almost real but not quite. Look at those colors. The predominant dark brownish-red. The use of light and shadow. The…
Read MoreShai Gilgeous-Alexander 19 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2018)
I’ve sort of been ignoring Shai Gilgeous-Alexander this season, and I’m sorry. He scored 11 in his debut, which might be enough points for a second-round rookie, but isn’t enough for an 11th pick like him. Two games later, he scored 12, but since that came so close after his 11, I was like “well…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 29 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2018)
I managed to get this video done during the timeouts/quarter breaks of the very fun (for me) Bucks vs. Warriors game. I’m having a hard time thinking about anything other than how awesome the Bucks are right now, but that doesn’t mean I’m not hyped for Warren. The Suns lost in horrendous fashion, but who…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 16 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2018)
“Hey Taj, I know you’re bummed that we lost, but could you at least try to look happy?” Derrick Rose said to his teammate Taj Gibson as they sat together at a table in a Los Angeles club. “No girls want to come over here when you’re hunched over writing stuff in your little diary.”…
Read MoreWayne Ellington 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2018)
Wayne “Beef W” Ellington’s last contract saw him get paid almost as much per year (6 million) as he had made in his entire NBA career before he got to the Heat. Now, he’s playing for another one, which, given current trends in the NBA, projects to be even bigger than the contract he’s currently…
Read MoreOmari Spellman 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/7/2018)
I don’t remember now. Does the Hawks upper management want the in-arena experience to be more “urban” or less “urban”? All I remember is some controversy about it swinging too far in one direction; either it was too urban for the suburbanites who go to the games, or it wasn’t urban enough for the downtown…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 16 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (11/7/2018)
When I heard that Tyson Chandler was getting moved from the Suns to the Lakers, I had one thought and one thought only: under no circumstances should JaVale McGee’s minutes be reduced as a consequence of this new roster addition. For the first time in a long time, McGee has been getting the minutes that…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 31 Points/5 Assists/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2018)
Seven three-pointers marks a career-high for Derrick Rose in that category. It’s also, somewhat surprisingly to me, tied for fourth most three-point makes in a game this season. Klay had 14, Steph had 11, and Redick had 8; then, a bunch people made seven in a game, putting Derrick Rose among the elite company of…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 24 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2018)
I don’t even remember what Willie Cauley-Stein looks like as normal human being anymore. I try to think back to when he was a rookie, but all my mind can recall is his moldy-Cheeto hair, grill, and sub-ocular tattoos that look like bruises. He’s got a look, I’ll give him that. He walks onto the…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/7/2018)
Man, that Summer League game where Jaren Jackson hit nothing but a ton of threes is looking like the world’s biggest statistical aberration right now. He was 8 of 13 (thirteen threes holy balls) from deep that game. After tonight’s game, he’s 5 of 24 in the regular season over 10 games. It felt unsustainable…
