Patrick Beverley: does he play too much defense? Yes. If he didn’t play as much defense as he does, then the chances would be higher that this Rockets-Spurs series would just be a nonstop scoring exhibition. The Spurs have a potent offense when they’re allowed to run it the way they want, but with Beverley…
Read MorePatty Mills 20 Points Full Highlights (5/9/2017)
Since I make highlight videos and not “lowlight” videos, this video does not contain the sequence at the end of regulation where Patty Mills isoed against James Harden, pump-faked, and failed to get off a shot before time expired. The shot he released a half-second too late banked in off the glass, the home crowd…
Read MoreDante Exum 15 Points Full Highlights (5/8/2017)
Since Jazz fans are probably feeling a little bit delicate right now, I’m not even going to call Dante Exum a bust in this description. I will even say that he had a great first half, and made some big plays that got the crowd back into the game. He had a few plays that…
Read MoreShelvin Mack 18 Points Full Highlights (5/8/2017)
From getting DNP’s earlier in the season to starting a playoff game where the aim was to avoid being swept, Shelvin “The Macksturbator” Mack has come a long way, but in the end, the sweep happened while he was at the helm. The Macksturbator played about as well as could be expected in this game;…
Read MoreJonathon Simmons 17 Points Full Highlights (5/7/2017)
Jonathon Simmons highlight videos just aren’t the same if they don’t feature the San Antonio commentators. The excitement of Simmons’ drives to the hoop is made less exciting by the absence of that one guy yelling “OH MAMA…the JUICE!!!!” while the other guy chuckles uncontrollably like he smoked a huge doobie before the game. I…
Read MoreEric Gordon 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (5/7/2017)
This is what happens when Eric Gordon makes a ton of threes like he’s supposed to. The Rockets’ opponent gets blown out. Eric Gordon three-pointers = blowout win for the Rockets. It’s that simple. Out of the fourteen games this season where Gordon made five or more threes, only one of them was a loss….
Read MoreBobby Brown 11 Points Full Highlights (5/7/2017)
Eleven points in five minutes? You know what I’m thinking because you’re thinking it too. Tracy McGrady. And Kobe. Combined. The only thing that would make this cooler (besides spiked death pits and a basketball made out of lava) is if Bobby Brown’s eleven points were part of some kind of heroic comeback by the…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 16 Points Full Highlights (5/7/2017)
You know what disgusts me? Sportsmanship. When John Wall brutally undercut Terry Rozier on a dunk attempt, instead of allowing himself to be helped up, Rozier should’ve gotten to his feet as quickly as possible, squared himself, and punched Wall right in the nuts. Sportsmanship is for pansies and foreigners. Back in the NBA of…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 23 Points Full Highlights (5/7/2017)
I’m not going to sit here and write a eulogy for this era of the Raptors. Everyone seems to think that they’re going to blow it up after this, that they’re going to trade away major pieces in a firesale and start over with Bruno Caboclo at the helm (alright I doubt anyone thinks that…
Read MoreCory Joseph 20 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (5/7/2017)
Wow, turns out that the Raptors don’t even need Kyle Lowry to lose to the Cavaliers. I don’t see any point in re-signing him in free agency if his presence isn’t going to make a difference when they eventually run into LeBron and company. Just roll with the suddenly-semi-competent Cory Joseph as the starter and…
