Clean-shaven Nikola Mirotic is for real. He is all business now, no messing around. He wants no distractions heading into the playoffs, and “itchy cumbersome crumb-receptacle tangled mass pube beard” definitely qualifies as a big distraction. Now that he’s shaved, can he maybe go to Miami and talk to Kelly Olynyk and Tyler Johnson? Those…
Read MoreQuinn Cook 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
Adam Silver must be freaking out right now. How much money has the league lost because of Stephen Curry’s injury? It’s got to be a huge number. A few people are probably buying Quinn Cook gear instead but not enough to make up for the lost jersey sales. And no one’s gonna watch the playoffs…
Read MoreQuincy Acy Career High 21 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
Quincy Acy, per minute, takes more threes at a higher percentage than Donovan Mitchell. How’s that for a fun fact? You can impress everyone at the water cooler on Monday with that little tidbit. They might even give you a raise for it. There aren’t a whole ton of players who are more willing to…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 23 Pts/11 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
The Nuggets aren’t done yet! I’ve written them off approximately 50 times recently in various descriptions, but they’re still kicking. Not only are the still kicking, but they’re kicking other teams right in the SACK, this time divesting the Clippers of their earnestly-held playoff dreams. I’m still absolutely 100-percent uncertain of what they have to…
Read MoreKhem Birch 12 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2018)
Khem “The Alkhemist” Birch worked his alkhemy to the tune of twelve points, and, um, not much else. He did get four rebounds and two assists. I don’t know if that counts as “alkhemy” or not. It probably doesn’t. Somebody as tall as he is should really be getting more than four rebounds in 27…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 21 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2018)
Frank “The Clank” Kaminsky is rocking a headband which I have not noticed previously. White guys with headbands get me thinking…can you guess what it is that I’m thinking about? Hint: it’s not food and it’s not Jennifer. That’s right: I’m thinking about how rad Kaminsky would look if he had long hair constrained in…
Read MoreDorian Finney-Smith 15 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/6/2018)
Dorian “Distributed File System” Finney-Smith had fourteen points in the Mavericks’ previous game against the Magic, but, in my latest stroke of genius, I didn’t make a highlight video for him, citing two reasons: 1. He was 5-of-15 from the field, and I would rather not encourage inefficient shooting 2. I just had this feeling…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/6/2018)
It can be rightly debated whether or not Reggie Jackson is a “good” point guard or if he’s one of those guys that only puts up counting stats while not significantly raising his team’s ceiling, but what absolutely cannot be debated is the fact that Reggie Jackson is way better at being an NBA point…
Read MoreGreg Monroe Triple Double 19 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (4/6/2018)
Thanks to the heroic efforts of two Celtics scrubs, Jabari Bird and Jonathan Gibson (basketball-reference, as of this writing, calls him “John Gibson”, but I’m pretty sure this is the same guy who played for the Mavs last season), Greg Monroe was able to secure the second triple-double of his career. Without Bird’s five makes…
Read MoreJordan Crawford 13 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2018)
I’m a little bit confused right now. When did the Pelicans sign Jordan Crawford? He was on the team at the beginning of the season and played two games for them before getting cut. Or was he just injured all this time and they never cut him at all? This is one of those times…
