Alec Burks is playing so well as of late that I might have to change my channel name, at least temporarily, to “DownToBurk”. If there wasn’t some rookie shooting guard who was stealing all his minutes, Burks would be the starter right now and he would probably be averaging 18 per game. Sadly for Burks…
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
OFFICIAL JORDAN CLARKSON PER-36 SCORING UPDATE: Jordan Clarkson is currently scoring 24.1 points per 36 minutes. In case you need a refresher course on ultra-advanced NBA analytics, per-36 stats are the best because it helps you compare players who play hella minutes to players who don’t play as hella minutes. Clarkson is 23rd on this…
Read MoreDavid Nwaba 15 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Does David Nwaba even have any traditional shooting guard skills or is he a big man trapped in a little man’s body? He’s not much of a passer from what I can see, he doesn’t orchestrate the offense, and he’s not much of a shooter despite the “shooting guard” label. His main selling points are…
Read MoreJustise Winslow 15 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
It’s games like this that remind me that I shouldn’t be so quick to give up on players, even when they play like total busts, as Justise Winslow did last season. His win-shares were negative last year, the team was 4-14 when he played, and his injury might have been a blessing in the skies…
Read MorePatty Mills 20 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Patty Mills is sort of the “Forgotten Australian” of the NBA; he’s been around for so long, filling his role so competently and blandly that Australians don’t even care about him anymore. Him and Andrew Bogut and David Andersen are like the OG Australian ballers of this generation, but a new generation has arrived, leaving…
Read MoreBen McLemore 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Ben McLemore boldly inserted himself into the immortal halls of basketball boneheadedness with a failed 360 dunk attempt in the second quarter of the Grizzlies’ game against the Raptors two days ago. A lot of people were quick to jump of McLemore for hotdogging in a game that was by no means over, and I…
Read MoreSteven Adams 21 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Once again, the unassuming Kiwi Steven Adams, together with fellow foreigner Alex Abrines outplayed the Thunder’s so-called “big three” and led the Thunder to a win against the Grizzlies. Okay, it’s more like the Grizzlies totally choked away their big lead because Marc Gasol is calling people out like he’s taking attendance, but Adams also…
Read MoreOtto Porter 27 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
What I want out of Otto Porter, now that he has proven that he is a stud scoring machine at least some of the time, is some consistency on when he decides to be a scoring machine and when he decides not to be a scoring machine. Hint for Mr. Porter: he should be a…
Read MoreDanilo Gallinari 25 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Danilo Gallinari did not have a fun start to the season. He played in the Clippers’ first nine games, but his scoring efficiency dropped hard off a cliff, and he shot around 30% from the field before mercifully getting injured. Unfortunately for the Clippers, the team was sort of counting on having his scoring or…
Read MoreMike Scott 22 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
After last year, I was pretty sure we weren’t going to see Mike Scott on this channel again. Not necessarily because of how bad he was (though he was pretty bad), but because he was going to be sitting in a prison cell somewhere in Georgia. Drugs are bad, kids, and they’re even worse if…
