Do the New York Knicks commentators even call Doug McDermott by his nickname “Doug McBuckets”? In the few Knicks games that I’ve watched, I don’t think I’ve ever heard McDermott referred to in that way. All I hear is Clyde Frazier saying “MacDermott” over and over because they want to play up his good-natured illiteracy…
Read MoreMario Chalmers 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/20/2017)
Remember when Chris Bosh yelled at Mario Chalmers while both were playing for the Heat? Remember the visceral feelings of sympathy you had for Chalmers, who always seemed so untalented and expendable next to this three superstar teammates? Remember how you thought that Bosh should understand that not everybody can play perfectly all the time,…
Read MoreWill Barton 25 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2017)
Let us all take a moment to remember when Will Barton was in the dunk contest and lost really bad. Thank you. It is important to remember not just the heroes of the past, but also the victims. To be honest I don’t even recall the dunks that he attempted in that contest. Not even…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 25 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2017)
I don’t exactly know how player-specific fandom works in eastern Europe, but somehow Nikola Vucevic drew the short straw and ended up with exactly zero fans. While Nikola Jokic (who is averaging FEWER points than the other Nikola) receives bags and bags full of fan correspondence every day, Vucevic has to be content with one…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 26 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2017)
Mute this video, then watch it, and be sure to take note of what sound you make at approximately 1:50 of this video. Now watch it again with audio this time. How did your sound compare to the one Quinn Buckner made? Don’t be sad if it wasn’t quite as good. Not all of us…
Read MoreKyle Anderson 13 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/20/2017)
Kyle “Ball Machine” Anderson, despite my proclamations of him being able to average a triple-double in the NBA (perhaps I was overrating him, in retrospect), had not gotten double-digit assists in a game until tonight. Part of that is minutes, obviously, but the other part of it is that his passing lanes are limited by…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 22 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2017)
Jaylen Brown has made some nice progress this season. His progress is so nice, in fact, that I’m going to ignore it and instead bring up the stuff he sucks at. First point of suckage: passing. This dude just doesn’t get assists. It’s not like he’s a super-unwilling passer, we’re not at Nick Young level…
Read MoreJohn Collins 21 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2017)
John “Collins Card” Collins with yet another productive game off the bench. There’s a lot of rookies doing amazing things right now, but I feel like he should be getting mentioned as well. It doesn’t help that he’s on the Hawks or that he’s just a normal American or that his dad is probably not…
Read MoreBen Simmons 27 Points/0 Dunks Full Highlights (11/20/2017)
You might think I’m dissing Ben Simmons by mentioning the fact that he didn’t dunk this game in the video title. I swear I’m not. I’m just trying to be helpful. There are a whole bunch of people out there who do not want to watch a Simmons vid if it doesn’t have Thunders from…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 24 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2017)
Last time I made a Frank Kaminsky highlight package, I basically got down on my knees and serviced him with my mouth, talking all about how good he was this season and how nice his offensive game looked, all sorts of stuff that is now super embarrassing for me. Because right after that last good…
