Whoof. Not a great game shooting-wise for Wesley Matthews. His point total looks good, which is all I (and you) really care about, but still. 3 of 15 from three is not a good look. Luckily, I don’t deal in lowlights. These are highlights, and he still made 9 shots, including a really super ultra…
Read MoreJulius Randle 20 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2016)
Anyone else think that this last bucket by Julius Randle shouldn’t even count? 30 seconds left, Lakers are going to lose for sure, no one’s really trying anymore, and Julius goes and throws a loopy hook off the glass and in. Come on. That’s ridiculous. Basketball is about skilfully manipulating the sphere into the ring….
Read MoreMatthew Dellavedova 14 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (10/29/2016)
On the surface, Matthew Dellavedova looks like a perfect fit for the Bucks feat. Point-Giannis. Delly doesn’t need the ball all the time, he plays defense without even needing to be told to, and he has a pretty decent three-ball. Great! There’s only one problem: He shoots floaters all the time! As we all know,…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 26 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2016)
“Dear Father, I hope everything is going well for you in Croatia, because things are certainly not going very well here in America. The Nets will have a poor record again this year. I may accumulate good individual statistics, but you know me, father; I can never be content with personal success when the team’s…
Read MoreRashad Vaughn Career High 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (10/29/2016)
I’m going to be a homer for a little bit. Usually when a player really sucks in their rookie year I mock them relentlessly and secretly plan on them never getting better. This is in defiance of the old adage: “NBA rookies always suck no matter how good they will be later in their careers”….
Read MoreJarell Martin 13 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2016)
“Hey, Jarell, you writing a novel or something?” Jarell Martin looked up from his notebook to see Vince Carter standing in front of him. “Not really. Just writing down some goals for myself.” Vince stood next to Jarell and leaned forward, squinting. “That just looks like a list of people on the team. You gonna…
Read MoreSergio Rodriguez 14 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/29/2016)
I apologize sincerely for not making highlights of Sergio Rodriguez’ 12/9 debut performance for the Sixers. That was my bad. I should have made the highlights but I didn’t. If I had known how badass his beard was I would have made a video no questions asked. But you have to admit that fourteen points…
Read MoreMike Muscala 14 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2016)
Man-buns are the new thing. I can’t blame Mike Muscala for wanting to get in on the trend and thus secure himself the attention of females. And I understand that there may be a period of time where the bun is not at full maturity. Those are things I understand and sympathize with. That said,…
Read MoreE’Twaun Moore 18 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2016)
Was there a less heralded free-agent signing this year than E’Twaun M’oore going to the Pelicans? Before we go any further, the above sentence is a primo example of “Betteridge’s Law of Headlines”, which states “any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no”. The phrase in question is…
Read MoreMyles Turner 20 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2016)
I said in a description last year that I’d take Myles Turner over Jabari Parker. I was maybe being a little reactionary when I penned those words, but I still believe that the difference is less than people think, that while Jabari has a better pedigree and athleticism that… Screw it. I’ll say it again:…
