Pretty much the whole story around the Cavaliers’ first-round defeat of the Pacers was that LeBron James was doing literally everything while his teammates picked their noses and looked dumbly as the ball whizzed by their motionless hands. These guys read the media, they know what’s being said about them, and I bet when Zach…
Read MoreJayson Tatum Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (4/30/2018)
Before you get all excited because this video shows Jayson Tatum scoring a career-high in points while beating the 76ers in a playoff game, note that he made a ton of three throws to get there. 11 of 12, to be exact, which really drags down the quality of this performance. Yeah, I know, points…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 29 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (4/30/2018)
Terry Rozier: greatest story of the 2018 playoffs? Yes. Unequivocally. He’s playing great, leading his team to key wins, and he’s STILL throwing shots at Eric Bledsoe while that dude sits on his couch and eats ice cream. What’s that phrase that the young kids say? “No Chill”? I don’t know if that describes Rozier,…
Read MoreJae Crowder 21 Points Full Highlights (4/29/2018)
If the Jazz want to win this series, and I bet they do, Jae Crowder has to start beefing hard with either James Harden or Chris Paul right now. No delay, there is no time for a delay. Significant beefage between him and one of the Rockets’ star players might be enough to tip the…
Read MoreTristan Thompson 15 Points Full Highlights (4/29/2018)
I am certainly not the NBA fan out there who has no idea what is going on with Tristan Thompson and whichever Kardashian he is married(???) to. I don’t have enough spare axons to pay attention to celebrity relationships, since so many of them are devoted to holding precious info about NBA scrubs. Scrubs like…
Read MoreDarren Collison 23 Points Full Highlights (4/29/2018)
The regular season ended with Darren Collison being the three-point percentage leader (for the whole league, not just the Pacers, but the WHOLE LEAGUE) and I don’t think anyone noticed. Reggie Bullock was second, and even I didn’t notice. Aren’t we in a golden age of three-point shooting? So why are all the best three-bombers…
Read MoreJordan Crawford 14 Points Full Highlights (4/28/2018)
In true Jordan Crawford fashion, Jordan Crawford came into this game with eight minutes left and turned an embarrassing blowout loss into a slightly less embarrassing blowout loss by scoring fourteen points in eight minutes of action. This is reminiscent of my now-deleted video of James Jones scoring eleven points in two minutes for the…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 26 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/28/2018)
Terry Rozier didn’t start this game off very well, and I foolishly thought to myself “maybe Scary Terry isn’t going to kick our ass tonight”. It took him a while to get going, but in the end, he did, indeed, kick the Bucks’ ass. 26 points, 12 in the fourth, 9 assists. God dammit Bledsoe….
Read MoreKhris Middleton 32 Points Full Highlights (4/28/2018)
As I cling to the last tenuous shreds of my sanity, I want to take my final lucid moments to thank Khris Middleton for being a total beast this whole season. Also, props to Giannis for elevating the Bucks into the national eye. You guys rock. Everyone else can suck my rod. Some other notes…
Read MoreSteven Adams 19 Points Full Highlights (4/27/2018)
I don’t think anybody out there, even the most vacuous and uninformed “fans” whose basketball wisdom is sourced entirely from grammatically questionable YouTube comments, blames Steven Adams for the Thunder’s loss in the first round. It’s true that he didn’t accumulate much in the way of box-score stats in the first five games (he put…
