I really love the idea of Doug McDermott. I was led astray by his predraft workout video, but even in a vacuum he just looks like a good NBA player. He looks great until you actually watch him play. His shortcomings soon become very apparent, but you know what, I don’t care. And I bet…
Read MoreJaMychal Green 21 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
JaMychal Green has got to be the most anonymous player who is averaging 10 or more per game this season. He’s not a compelling player at all, and the Grizzlies are completely lacking in other compelling players who might rub off on him a little bit. He’s not that young anymore, he added a three-point…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
The Knicks have handed their starting PG gig to Emmanuel Mudiay. Proponents of certain other PGs on the Knicks may be upset, but there is good reason for this: this guy was picked top 10 for a reason, he was a top high school recruit for a reason, and it makes sense for them to…
Read MoreLuc Richard Mbah a Moute 17 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute took over this one, leading the Rockets to victory with his 15 fourth-quarter points and perfect 7-for-7 shooting. I am not exaggerating. He is the reason the Rockets won this game. Not James Harden. Not Chris Paul. Not Zhou Qi. Mbah a Moute is the hero, and the Rockets’ streak…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 19 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
Lauri Markkanen has been a pretty serious slump lately, and the All-Star break didn’t help. I may have to rethink my designation of “white Kevin Durant” for him, because Durant even though he’s a cupcake doesn’t go through slumps like this. Not even in his rookie season, as far as I can tell, which isn’t…
Read MoreTaurean Prince 24 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
The tragic deletement of my channel has not put a damper on my in-progress high fantasy/hard science-fiction novel, “The Taurean Prince”. The first two chapters are still available on my website, and I’m working on the third. Work is slow, though. George R.R. Martin for real up in here. I’ve got all these ideas, but…
Read MoreEmeka Okafor 14 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
It has been 5 years since my last (and only, until now) Emeka Okafor highlight video. 5 years and 13 days. That video is deleted now, but for a long time it was basically the only Emeka highlight package residing on the YouTube servers. I’m gonna go watch it right now (luckily I’ve got all…
Read MoreMyles Turner 24 Points Full HIghlights (2/26/2018)
Myles Turner averages 20 points per game against the Mavericks, the most versus any team in the NBA. Before you act all impressed, I didn’t come up with that stat. For once, one of those usually-lame factoids that the television people bring up was somewhat interesting to me. So why is this? Why does Turner…
Read MoreKris Dunn 23 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
Say what you want about Kris Dunn, but the Bulls sorta looking decent there for a stretch with him starting. Then he got injured, falling victim to something called a “cuntcushion”. They took a game to notice that he wasn’t there anymore, and then they started losing. A lot. Like at the beginning of the…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 18 Points/7 Dunks/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
I have watched a fair amount of the Nets the season, and I am of the opinion that Jarrett Allen increases the funness of any game he enters by at least a factor of two. As soon as he checks in, maybe the game was a little boring, maybe dragging a little bit, but he…
