The Jazz winning their series with the Thunder seems like some kind of grand cosmic demonstration of the power of teamwork triumphing over the forces of iso-ball. It is very easy for us dumb humans to assign a larger moral meaning to things like these. However, I think the truth of it is simpler: this…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 19 Points Full Highlights (4/27/2018)
I’m having so much fun watching the playoffs right now. This first round is nuts, most of the series are at least a bit competitive and the one that wasn’t, was non-competitive in an exciting way. I just watched the Thunder featuring RubsSack WorstBitch, Paula Georgette, and Carmelo Anthony lose to the Jazz, and I…
Read MoreJayson Tatum 22 Points Full Highlights (4/26/2018)
Sure, Jayson Tatum didn’t have a great shooting night (6 of 14), but, in my opinion, he has earned the right to take as many shots as he wants. That right does not belong to Marcus Morris (5 of 14) or Terry Rozier (5 of 17), as important as they may have been at certain…
Read MoreJamal Crawford 20 Points Full Highlights (4/25/2018)
Jimmy Butler sat out the entire fourth quarter of this game due to “knee soreness” (really he was just embarrassed for himself and his puny eight-point contribution to the team’s efforts), so Jamal Crawford basically got an entire quarter to himself to remind the national TV audience what he’s capable of: -Layups -Floaters -Three-Pointers -Pullup…
Read MoreClint Capela 26 Points/8 Dunks Full Highlights (4/25/2018)
“What’s up loser. It’s Clint,” Clint Capela said into his phone, smirking at the frustrated sigh of his rival, Dwight Howard. “How’s your summer going?” “It was going okay until you called. I’m gonna hang up now,” Dwight responded. “Don’t you want to hear about all the things James has to say about you?” Clint…
Read MoreJae Crowder 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/25/2018)
At first blush, the Jazz giving up a 25-point third quarter lead has to rank among one of the greatest collapses in recent playoff history. However, one must take into account the unique circumstances that led to the lead growing that large in the first place. What I’m talking about is the fact that Jae…
Read MoreKyle Korver 19 Points Full Highlights (4/25/2018)
Is it just me or is literally the only reason the Cavaliers win any games ever is because LeBron James is always beasting? It’s not just me. That was a question I already knew the answer to. His teammates aren’t showing up consistently, but that’s to be expected, because they didn’t in the regular season…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 22 Points Full Highlights (4/25/2018)
It’s a good thing that LeBron James (he’s earned the right not to be called by his nickname, “NoDefense Suckballs”, with his actions tonight) hit that game-winning three, because if Domantas Sabonis’ game-tying shot had been a deciding factor, that would’ve been lame as heck. Because it was a lame shot. Real talk. What kind…
Read MoreDelon Wright 18 Points Full Highlights (4/25/2018)
I bet the Bucks could use Dorell Wright right (write) now. Heck, a lot of teams could. Who doesn’t want three-point shooting? That’s all he did. The Heat signed him for the playoffs only two years ago, and he stepped up, hitting 5 shots and ending up in a series against his little bro, Delon….
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/24/2018)
Do you think, immediately after getting eliminated by the 76ers in five games, that Hassan Whiteside went back to the locker room and started decking people? Here’s the minutes breakdown from the series: Kelly Olynyk: 29 MPG Bam Adebayo: 15 MPG Hassan Whiteside: 15 MPG Faced with decreasing on-court minutes, Whiteside was no doubt overcome…
