Antonio Blakeney only knows how to play one way: the chucker way. He was one of the G-League’s premiere chuckers last season, and he continued that trend (to a slightly lesser degree) whenever he got the call up the NBA. As everyone knows, the pendulum in recent times has swung away from iso-chucking madness and…
Read MoreJosh Richardson 28 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2018)
I sort of lost track of who was getting offered by the Heat to the Timberwolves for Jimmy Butler. Or, instead of who the Heat were offering, who the Timberwolves were demanding. I know Thibs wanted Josh Richardson. Were the Heat willing to part with him? I don’t think they were. By all accounts, he…
Read MoreRodney McGruder Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2018)
As of the writing of this description, an estimated 100 percent of NBA fans are currently watching LeBron James’ debut with the Lakers. Including me. Uploading highlight videos right now is like pissing into the wind. There is literally no one who wants to consume them. In a few hours, sure. But not now. So…
Read MoreDerrick Jones Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2018)
Real talk incoming: I just don’t feel like the Heat’s best path to victory is by starting Derrick Jones Jr. at the power forward position. That’s real talk right there. For real. Unfiltered. In fact, starting Jones at all seems like kind of a stretch. He looked good in exhibition games, I guess, showing off…
Read MoreNoah Vonleh 12 Points Knicks Debut Full Highlights (10/17/2018)
I almost didn’t do this one, because it’s only 12 points for a former lottery pick, but I had a bad feeling that I would regret it if I didn’t. It’s very possible that Noah Vonleh never scores more than this the whole season. His career high is only 16, after all. Plus, it’s his…
Read MoreE’Twaun Moore 21 Points Full Highlights (10/17/2018)
It’s rare for a marginal player who has bounced around as much E’Twaun Moore has to turn into a legit starter on a playoff team. But that’s what he’s done. No one watching him in Boston his rookie year thought “that guy will play a meaningful role on a good team”. Him improving so much…
Read MoreP.J. Tucker 19 Points Full Highlights (10/17/2018)
Remember last year, when P.J. Tucker started the season off with a 20-point game and then didn’t reach that total again until the playoffs? No, you don’t, because that’s not the kind of thing that normal people remember if they want to live a life other than “Highlights Hermit”. But I remember, I remember that…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 23 Points Full Highlights (10/17/2018)
All this excitement for the Kings’ two young bigmen, Bagley and Giles, and they come out in the first game of the season and do almost nothing. Meanwhile, Willie Cauley-Stein, who is hated by all Kings fans for reasons that are unknown to me (is it because he looks like an old Jewish grandma in…
Read MoreElfrid Payton Triple Double 10 Pts/10 Asts/10 Rebs Pelicans Debut Full Highlights (10/17/2018)
Elfrid Payton has taken the early lead in the 2018-19 triple-double race, notching one (1) triple-double in his Pelicans debut while the rest of the league’s players have a collective zero (0) triple-doubles. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, his triple-double is statistically the worst possible triple-double it is possible to achieve. There’s not really such…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 23 Points Full Highlights (10/17/2018)
Spencer Dinwiddie did not look good in preaseason action. Just out of curiosity, before the season started, I checked out various depraved dens of Nets fans across the internet, and they all seemed to think that Dinwiddie was going to go back to his old not-so-good self after a surprisingly good season last year. And…
