If I’m a Thunder fan, which I’m not (my username would be xXWestbrookGeorgeAnthony_2017_ChampionshipXx if that were the case), I’d be pissed off that Malcolm Delaney hit four three-pointers against my team. Remember, Delaney is the dude who, last year, had an unbelievably wet midrange jumper but also had a shooting range which stopped hard at…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 27 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2017)
Kyle Kuzma continues to flourish in his rookie season with bigtime scoring outbursts. Reminder: he is shooting over 50% from the field. That’s crazy for a rookie who isn’t a big man (basketball-reference lists him as a power forward, I’m not sure how much I believe that) and it makes me mad that last year’s…
Read MoreLonzo Ball 24 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/22/2017)
Lonzo Ball waited behind a dumpster next to the player’s parking lot at Oracle Arena. It smelled like a year’s worth of expired nacho cheese had just been thrown away, but the smell was the farthest thing from Lonzo’s mind. He had an important mission to carry out. One by one, Warriors players parked their…
Read MoreJordan Bell 20 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2017)
Let’s not pretend this performance is any more than it is. Bell displayed massive amounts of hustle and showed off his enthusiasm for rebounding, but at no point did he execute what could be termed a “move”: his scores were all a result of him being in the right place for a teammate to hit…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 22 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2017)
Ersan Ilyasova was really clutch in this one. First a clutch deep-corner three while destroying the gonads of Steven Adams, then a clutch rebound that destroyed the headband of Carmelo Anthony, then the foul-draw resulting in two clutch game-tying free throws. Then Russell Westbrook had to come in and ruin everything. Still, great game by…
Read MoreAustin Rivers Career High 36 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/22/2017)
Come on. Austin Rivers scores a career high 36 points and hits 6 threes, including some clutch ones late in the game, as the undermanned Clippers beat James Har_en and his Rockets and Mike Breen can’t give us even one “BANG!”? If this was Stephen Curry, he would’ve delivered 6 bangs, one for each triple….
Read MoreBam Adebayo 14 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/22/2017)
Bam Adebayo games with five or more assists: 1 Dwight Howard games with five or more assists: 0 Okay, I lied. It seemed pretty believable though, right? Just to clarify, I was lying about the Dwight Howard part. The Bam Adebayo part is totally correct. If you want the truth, Howard has 28 games with…
Read MoreYogi Ferrell 23 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2017)
Put down whatever beverage you are sipping, firmly grasp your ears and hold your head steady, because I am about to blow your mind: This is Yogi Ferrell’s second-highest scoring game as an NBA player. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it yet again: that nationally-televised 32-point 9-three explosion back in February really warped…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 28 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2017)
I’m pretty sure that the Bucks have a big three right now. Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. I’m not sure that the “EKG” nickname for them will stick, actually I am sure because it sucks, but I’m also sure that all reasonable definitions for the term “big three” would encompass that threesome. Khris…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 27 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2017)
Nikola Jokic walked into the locker room early, just as he did every road game. He found that the spartan accommodations of the visitor’s lockers got him into the right frame of mind better than anything. He saw the locker hastily marked “Jokic” and walked over, preparing his playlist of his favorite Borislav Mitic songs,…
