I’m trying to figure out if the hype for Pääul Zïpßer is less or greater than the hype for Tibor Pleiß. As far as I could tell, there was little to no hype for Pleiß, until he started shooting threes in Summer League. Then he got waived and I don’t even know where he ended…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/20/2017)
The Nets just dropped 143 god-damn points on the Pelicans, the second highest point total this season for a team. Caris LeVert didn’t have an insane point total for how many points his team scored, but 17 for himself and 14 more from the assists is pretty good. But with how good the Nets did,…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 27 Points/25 Rebounds Full Highlights (1/20/2017)
Notice how I put “25 Rebounds” in the title of this vid. That’s because all 25 rebounds are depicted. Every single one, no matter how lame. That’s what “Full Highlights” are all about. Nothing is omitted. As you probably know, I don’t normally show rebounds. They’re not usually very exciting compared to points or blocks…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 25 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2017)
Dënniß ßchrööder should have scored 23 points tonight. That’s how many he had when he sat down with 2 minutes left in the third quarter, having willed the Hawks to a 30-point lead. I didn’t investigate him on the bench too much, but I bet he was totally relaxed, ready to cheer on his teammates…
Read MoreIman Shumpert 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
Iman Shumpert has seemingly rediscovered the long-range shooting touch that made him such an intriguing player in his second season; he’s now shooting 40% from three, and while he’s no longer young or intriguing, he at least can be a competent low-volume guy to complement the Cavs’ big three (LeBron, Kyrie, and James Jones). They…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 20 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
“Dear Diary, A few days ago that meanie Chris got injured again. He hurt his little baby thumb from sucking on it too much. Daddy said we all need to start playing extra good from now on but then I said we wouldn’t need to because I would be the point guard and I would…
Read MoreOtto Porter 23 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
Otto Porter is currently a beneficiary of the “Martell Webster Effect”. I don’t exactly know what the Martell Webster Effect entails, other than that John Wall is involved and that it’s the reason Martell Webster was really good that one season. Maybe I should’ve saved the presentation of the Martell Webster Effect until I knew…
Read MoreTyler Johnson 23 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
The NBA really needs to do something about the end of games. In this particular contest between the Heat and the Mavs (which somehow lacked the intensity of their Finals matchups…), in between a few clutch shots, there were just way too many free throws, way too many stoppages, and way too much standing around….
Read MoreJames Jones 14 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
James “Champ” Jones is, after tonight, shooting 21 of 34 on three-pointers this season. That’s 62 percent, for those who understand how percentages work (I don’t). He is also shooting 4 of 12 on two-pointers, which isn’t as good. I guess there’s a reason he’s taken 7 times as many three as twos in his…
Read MoreTyson Chandler 22 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
This is Tyson Chandler’s 16th year in the league. It seems like just yesterday people were calling him a bust because he was the 2nd overall pick and couldn’t score even when he wanted to. Where has all the time gone? Now he’s a respected savvy veteran role-player, so respected and savvy and veteran and…
