This is video 31 of my end-of-regular-season highlights extravaganza, but it really should’ve been like 15th or so. I’m sorry. It slipped through the cracks, but luckily I caught it before I wrapped things up, so here we are. The most points Isaiah Hicks has ever scored in the NBA, an achievement colloquially known as…
Read MoreTrey Burke 19 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
I figure if I just keep doing highlights, it’s like the regular season is still going on, that all these role-players and scrubs and sub-scrubs (looking at you, Furkan Korkmaz) still have more chances to show their worth in the NBA. I don’t want to stop. I’m not going to stop. This is video number…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 12 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Which team is most likely to be total garbage next season? It’s too early to tell, and I bet all 30 of them think they can, with the right moves, make the playoffs a year from now, but we need to figure it out. Because that is the team that Boban Marjanovic needs to get…
Read MoreAlex Caruso 15 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
A Lakers season that started with the promise of Lonzo Ball ends, fittingly, with his Summer League partner-in-crime, Alex Caruso. He hit the final shot of the season for the Lakers, a three with 10 seconds left, and that was it. No more Lakers. Everyone go home, show’s over. I made a promise early in…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
It has come to my attention that despite my pleas and the pleas of fans all over the globe, T.J. McConnell is still being marginalized by the Philadelphia 76ers. I’ve said it before and I will never hesitate to say it again: stop marginalizing T.J. McConnell right now. Markelle Fultz’s return has only made things…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 18 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
I hope this isn’t the last we see of Nik Stauskas in the NBA. If it is, well, at least his final bucket was a huge poster dunk/staredown on Guerschon Yabusele. That’s a good way to go out. Some team will give him a contract for next season, right? Sauce Castillo (never really liked that…
Read MoreSteven Adams 24 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Now that Russbrickthrees Chasereboundsbrook has achieved the one goal he for the whole season, which was average a triple-double, let’s give major props to Steven Adams for making it all possible. Any normal egocentric bigman in the NBA would never let a midget chucker run in and grab all of their well-earned rebounds. But Adams…
Read MoreHenry Ellenson 14 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Next year, for sure, is the year Henry Ellenson breaks out. Definitely. I thought it would be this year, but circumstances beyond his control (combined with some that were within his control, like not being able to play defense) kept him nailed to the pine for most of the season. By the start of next…
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 16 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
How many times has Jakob “Purtle” Poeltl created his own shot this year. Like, received the ball at a standstill, and through his own actions, without the help of teammates, used deft maneuvering to put the ball in basketball. Definitely less than a dozen, I’d say. Maybe closer to “zero”. I certainly can’t remember any…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes 19 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
I still maintain that Richaun “Rich Holmie Chaun” Holmes can offer all the same stuff the Joel Embiid does. He can hit the threes (not this year, but last year he could). He can dunk. He can block shots. With Embiid out because he memed too hard on Twitter, Holmes gets to prove that my…
