You know, I bet Dennis Schroder could’ve played tonight. He looked fine on the bench, no injuries that I could discern, and I know scoring 41 points is hard, but it’s not THAT hard. He was smiling and everything in that hoodie of his. I’m not really complaining, because I’m such a big fan of…
Read MoreJ.J. Barea 23 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/22/2018)
The list of longtime NBA players who had their best season ever at the age of 33 has to be pretty short (short like J.J. Barea, oh SNAP). However short it is, it has gotten one item longer with how well Barea has played this season. The wins aren’t there, but even at his best…
Read MoreFrank Mason 16 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/22/2018)
Now would normally be the part of the season when the Kings, as a team who maybe isn’t so good at winning games, start bringing in a whole bunch of randoms to try out. Look at their opponent tonight, the Hawks. Who are any of those guys? That’s a rhetorical question; obviously I know who…
Read MoreRodney Purvis 19 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2018)
So… this is the guy the Magic dropped Rashad Vaughn for? Huh. That’s cool, I guess. Let me know when he scores 22. DownToBuck OUT. For real though I’m getting hyped for Rodney Purvis. He’s the type of player I live for: 10-day contract, check. Cool name, check. Tanking team, check. Bucket-getter, check. He checks…
Read MoreJustin Jackson 20 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2018)
Has this been a successful season for Justin Jackson? He was picked 15th, which is starting to get into “this guy may not be any good at all” territory, so the fact that he’s definitely playable (even startable) is a good thing. But his overall statistical production is pretty low, and on a team like…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 26 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2018)
More triple-doubles. If Donovan Mitchell is going to win ROY, he needs more triple-doubles. Way more. He failed to get one tonight, in fact he wasn’t even close, so that means he’ll need to average at least 1.5 triple-doubles per game from here on out if he wants a shot at some hardware that isn’t…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 18 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/22/2018)
If this video taught me anything, it’s that Dante Exum is not injured anymore and is able to score buckets in an NBA setting. Somehow I missed his return, but it’s all good now, because he’s back and ready to hook up (not in that way you PERV) with Joe Ingles for that sweet Aussie…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 28 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/22/2018)
Not shown in this video: Kentavious Caldwell Pope’s game-losing turnover at the end of regulation. Normally, when a team is down by three with only a few seconds left, they don’t mess around with “passing the ball”, but KCP thought otherwise and his team didn’t even get a shot up. I don’t know why he…
Read MoreNoah Vonleh 14 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (3/21/2018)
Maybe this is the key to Noah Vonleh staying relevant in the league. Heck, maybe it’s the key to him STAYING in the league, point blank. Just shoot three-pointers until you’re good enough at them that GM’s think you’re a legit stretch four who can rebound and hit shots. Vonleh’s per-36 rebounding numbers have always…
Read MoreDeyonta Davis 16 Points Full Highlights (3/21/2018)
Brevin Knight, one of the Grizzlies’ commentators, insinuated that Deyonta Davis has effort issues and that’s why he’s not as good as it seems like he should be. All I have to say about that is, Davis fits the profile of somebody who would have effort issues. He’s big, which means that things have come…
