In a theoretical playoff matchup with Philly, I really like Jonas Valanciunas’ theoretical ability to deal with Joel Embiid’s theoretical post game. He’s got a beeficity to him that a lot of centers these days don’t have. Sure, guarding him on the perimeter is a whole different story, but who even cares if Embiid splashes…
Read MoreKevin Huerter 13 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
Kevin “That Other Hawks Rookie” Huerter was a dude that I wanted the Bucks to target in the draft. Last year that dude was Jarrett Allen, and see how right I was about that one? Keep in mind that I’m pretty much the world’s worst prospect evaluator, barely ahead of Ryan McDonough. The fact that…
Read MoreCedi Osman 20 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
I admit, I said some things that I now regret after Cedi Osman’s first two games this season. Everyone was feeling all excited, Cavs fans were delirious with joy, and I got swept up in the hype. I believe I declared Osman the official second banana to Kevin Love. Whoops! As Treebeard said, “don’t be…
Read MoreMalik Monk 20 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
Do you ever wonder to yourself, while trying to get to sleep at night, what it would look like if someone took Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis and put them into the same body? I think about it. I think about it a lot. And last night, while I was thinking about it, it came…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 21 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
Nemanja Bjelica just keeps having good games. This is not a mirage, this is not an illusion. He keeps having good games because he’s a good player. That is the conclusion everyone is coming to. He’s getting regular enough airplay on my channel that it may be time to start a storyline for him. I’m…
Read MoreAlex Len 22 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
Don’t let this video fool you; Alex Len is nearly the same player he was in Phoenix except he has added something of a three-ball. Like his bro Trae Young, he is only capable of having good games if the opposing team has Tristan Thompson on it. Suns fans, don’t worry too much about getting…
Read MoreTrae Young 24 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
Trae Young against the Cavaliers this year: 59 points. Trae Young against every other team in the league this year: 75 points. That’s a shame, because I really thought the first number would be bigger than the second. That would’ve made a really sweet point about how bad the Cavs’ defense is and how Young…
Read MoreRodney Hood 26 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
Kyle Korver and J.R Smith were supposedly “emotional” after being told recently that they weren’t going to be in the rotation anymore. “Emotional” means two different things for those guys. For Korver, it probably means deep sadness but also understanding. For Smith, it means finding the chunkiest can of Campbell’s Chunky soup in the whole…
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
De’Aaron Fox: legit? He’s averaging 18 and 7 this year after a minorly disappointing rookie season. He’s shooting the ball well as long as it’s not a three or a free-throw. He’s leading his team to wins? Yeah, you could say that. I’m going to go with “legit” on this one, so legit that he’s…
Read MoreJamal Murray 23 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
Jamal Murray needs to be taking/making way more three than he is right now. Only 10 in the first 6 games? I wasn’t calling this guy Maple Curry for no reason. There was a reason, and that reason was that he is the Canadian version of Stephen Curry. He can shoot it from anywhere, and…
