Wade Baldwin went very quickly from first-round pick with potential to out of the league. The Grizzlies drafted him 17th overall last year (in case you’re wondering who the 17th overall was this year so you can make comparisons, it was D.J. Wilson… DAMMIT), played him decent minutes to start the season, but he didn’t…
Read MoreMike Muscala Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)
Karl-Anthony Towns may have scored 56 points, but let’s not forget that he got torched by Mike Muscala to the tune of a career-high 24 points on the other end of the floor. It’s great that he can score so many points so easily but damn, he needs to work on his defense this summer….
Read MoreShaquille Harrison 17 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)
I am slightly disappointed that this career-high performance by Shaquille Harrison, one that there is no guarantee of him ever surpassing, consists entirely of layups (more like LAMEups am I right?) and dunks. This might end up being the most enduring testament to mini-Shaq’s career in the NBA, and I kind of wanted it to…
Read MoreDario Saric 26 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)
I think this performance by Dario Saric is the best of his career. I’m suffering very strongly from recency bias right now (I don’t even remember anything about when he scored 32 that one time), but I don’t care. Saric looked so damn good tonight. Has Embiid been holding him down? I thought it was…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 23 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)
Mario Hezonja’s tenure with the Magic is drawing to a close. It’s possible that they resign him in free agency, but how likely do you think that is? As the young people say: “he gone”. It’s taken Hezonja almost the entirety of his rookie contract to show that he’s not a bust, but he’s finally…
Read MoreMarShon Brooks 21 Points Grizzlies Debut Full Highlights (3/28/2018)
MarShon “Mar$wag” Brooks is back. I can’t believe it. Last time he played in an NBA game, he was backing up Kendall Marshall for the Lakers, Obama was still president and would be for a few more years, and a whole bunch of newsy stuff happened that seemed important at the time but now I…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 21 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2018)
This video description is nominally about Trevor Ariza, who just had one of his better scoring games this season and didn’t seem to miss a beat with James Harden. But what it’s really about is unused Rockets bench player Le’Bryan Nash. More specifically, it’s about WHY LE’BRYAN NASH DIDN’T GET INTO THE GAME WHEN IT…
Read MoreDennis Smith Jr. 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/27/2018)
Thanks to the demise of my trusty microwave, which may or may not have had illegal modifications made to it in order to improve its cooking time, it has now been approximately 42 hours since I have had a Pop-Tart. I know that they can be eaten cold, but I’m not a caveman here. I…
Read MoreJrue Holiday Triple Double 21 Pts/11 Rebs/11 Asts/2 Blks Full Highlights (3/27/2018)
Jrue Holiday did a lot of great stuff tonight, accumulating enough units for what is commonly known as a “triple-double”, which seems to be some sort of statistical feat. I can’t figure out the exact specifics, but everyone seems to think they’re really good, so I’ll roll with it. But the best part of his…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 22 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2018)
Lauri “White Kevin Durant” Markkanen scored 14 straight points for the Bulls to (almost) start the game. With James Harden out for the Rockets, would the Bulls pull off the upset? Spoiler alert: they wouldn’t. The game became a laughable blowout very quickly, but it would’ve been even quicker if Markkanen didn’t dominate smaller Houston…
