QUICK QUIZ: Which NBA rookie has been better this year? A. Kristaps Porzingis B. Nikola Jokic In formulating your answer, you are not allowed to use raw per-game totals. Only advanced stats may be used. I’ll wait while you puzzle this one out. Okay, so if you answered A, you’re just a straight up dummy….
Read MoreDavid West 18 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2016)
When an NBA player gets old, that gives him license to start chasing rings. If you know you only have a few years left before your body disintegrates, you don’t want to be part of a rebuilding effort. And you definitely don’t want to be part of a mediocre eighth seed team. You want to…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 35 Points/7 Blocks Full Highlights (3/8/2016)
I understand if maybe you have not watched the Brook Lopez highlights I have made in the past. Blopez isn’t the most exciting player; consistent, yes, but not exciting. His team sucks, and maybe you prefer to not be reminded of their existence. Sometimes real life gets in the way and you don’t have the…

Jarring Acrobatic Baskets Are Really Imminent. Points Accumulating Rapidly, Kinetic Efforts Rewarded.
Read MoreJaMychal Green 16 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2016)
JaMychal Green just made Kevin Love his bitch. Let me repeat myself: JAMYCHAL GREEN (not that good of a player) made KEVIN LOVE (kind of a good player) into his BITCH. If this isn’t an indication that the Cavaliers need to trade Love, I don’t know what is. You don’t just get made into the…
Read MoreLance Stephenson 17 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2016)
By the end of this video, the Cavs announcers are ready to die. They have accepted the inevitability of death and are basically lying still in their coffins waiting for the Reaper’s scythe to whisk them off into eternity. They just can’t deal with the fact that a Grizzlies team playing without any of their…
Read MoreNorris Cole 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2016)
It seems like that whenever Norris Cole has a good enough game where I get to make highlights, he does all of his damage in the first quarter. Usually he has something like thirteen points and four assists after the first twelve minutes. Then he totally disappears and doesn’t do much of anything for the…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 20 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (3/7/2016)
Aaron Gordon’s dunks are great. Really great. I like them a lot, and they are befitting of a dunk contest winner, which he is. In-game dunks as a rule are not as spectacular as those of the dunk contest variety, but he manages to find some pizzazz for a lot of them. Aaron dunked it…
Read MoreTony Allen 26 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2016)
Before I compiled these highlights, I wrote down on a slip of paper how many jumpers I thought Tony Allen made during his 26-point outburst against the Cavaliers. Just for comparison’s sake, you know. How expectations line up with reality or something. I’ve scanned the slip and uploaded it here, complete with timestamp: ———————————————————- |…………………………………………………..|…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 25 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2016)
Andrew Wiggins is what would happen if you tried to make a player that could average 20 points while having as little impact on the rest of the game as possible. He doesn’t rebound much for a guy with his hops, he doesn’t pass well, and he’s okay at best on defense. He scores. That’s…
