Jaylen Brown is slumping. Not badly, but noticeably. We all knew it was going to happen, somewhere in the back of our minds, but we didn’t want it to happen. We wanted so badly for him to come out of nowhere (as far out of nowhere as a high first-round pick can come from) and…
Read MoreWayne Ellington 24 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/13/2017)
I just got done making a vid for Troy Daniels scoring 32 with 7 threes, and I’m struck by how similar he is to Wayne “Beef W” Ellington. Ellington maybe isn’t as inconsistent, but they are both the “shoot 10 threes per 36 minutes and do nothing else” kind of player. My favorite kind of…
Read MoreJamal Murray 28 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2017)
Jamal Murray is the fifth best free-throw shooter in the league right now, and he showed off his sick talents at the stripe by going a perfect 6-for-6. Free-throw shooting is an underrated part of basketball; think of how much better Shaq would have been if he could hit those freebies. Think of how many…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 32 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2017)
Last season was great, but it would have been a lot better if we could have somehow transported Donovan Mitchell into that rookie class. I didn’t fully realize it at the time, but last year’s rookie class was lame as heck aside from Embiid who didn’t play that much. If Mitchell had been there, I…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 29 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2017)
I’m sure you’ve seen this stat by now: the Bulls are 4-0 since Nikola Mirotic returned from his facial fracturization. Is it a coincidence, or is Niko a top-10 player capable of carrying a team by himself, or is the truth somewhere in between? Let’s analyze the facts. Arguments in favor of coincidentiality: -Even bad…
Read MoreTroy Daniels Career High 32 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/13/2017)
Troy “Ménage à Troys” Daniels, when he’s on, is one of the most electrifying shooters in the NBA. Any fan of a team he’s been on (except for the Timberwolves) knows this. And they also know that he is wildly incosistent. He’ll have a game where he hits a bunch of threes in no time…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/13/2017)
Now is the time for Mario Hezonja to perform. Due to the Magic’s tragic injury situation, minutes are being given to him no questions asked. If he is going to prove that he is not a bust, he has to do it now. There’s no pressure, no expectations. He’s starting from the bottom. Nowhere to…
Read MoreGary Harris Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2017)
I’m probably not the only one who had been slightly disappointed by Gary Harris’ play this season. I was still #hypedforgaryharris , obviously, but my hype was tempered by his reduced shooting percentages. His big contract doesn’t start until next year, and it’s not like he was sucking or anything, but I just expecting more….
Read MoreKent Bazemore 20 Points/6 Threes/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/12/2017)
Kent “Bazed God” Bazemore, has always been the kind of guy who can shoot threes, but he’s never had the reputation of being especially good at them. He’s hovered around 35% from three over his career, which is a high enough number where he is definitely allowed to shoot threes when he wants to, but…
Read MoreJeff Green 17 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2017)
My world has been thrown into a confused, swirling chaos. Why was Mike Fratello on the Cavaliers broadcast last night? It wasn’t a national game, the two normal dudes were still there (I call them “old white dude” and “dementia-addled black dude”), but then out of nowhere Mike Fratello starts commenting on plays like he’s…
