Vince Carter said he’s coming back, right? If he didn’t straight up say it like that (can we get an MJ-like press release that just says “I’m back”), he at least strongly implied it. That’s good. I don’t think there’s an NBA fan out there who’s like “yeah nah, it would probably be better if…

Trae Young 26 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2019)
Early in the season, Trae Young was extremely fond of taking extra-deep three-pointers. They never went in, but he kept shooting them anyway, and it made for a cool highlight when one of them finally did find the bottom of the net, so this unwise tendency of his was tolerated. Lately, I haven’t been noticing…
Read MoreAlex Len 20 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2019)
Another good game for Alex Len. See this, Suns fans? This is what you’re missing out on: a hard-dunking, sweet-shooting Ukrainian who isn’t a bust at all, but is, in fact, a valued role-player on an up-and-coming young team. A role-player that would be a nice fit on your struggling and directionless franchise. Oh well….
Read MoreTrae Young 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/13/2019)
A 22-point, 8-assist statline sounds pretty okay for Trae Young until you realize that he had double the points and double the assists in his 49-point, 16-assist game on March 1. Then, this performance seems like worthless garbage. You could watch this video twice and still not get the same amount of hot Young action…
Read MoreJohn Collins 27 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2019)
The Hawks are unexpectedly winning some games. They’re not winning “a lot” of games, but they’re winning “some” games, which is many more games than they’re supposed to be winning. And I would like to put forward this hypothesis for your scrutiny: John Collins is the reason they win games. Here is the evidence I…
Read MoreAlex Len 19 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2019)
Man, I’m looking at Alex Len’s stats right now, and I’m getting ticked off that no one told me how many points he was averaging this year. 10???? That’s so many. I didn’t think he’d ever hit that threshold, and now he is, like it’s no big deal. But it is a big deal. Especially…
Read MoreJohn Collins 23 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/10/2019)
John Collins’ previous season high in blocked shots was one. Can you believe that? As a young, athletic power forward who is near the basket on defense at least some of the time, one would expect at least one instance of Collins recording more than one block in a game. But he hasn’t. Not until…
Read MoreKevin Huerter 27 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2019)
After that 29-point game he had back in early January, I felt like people were being way too hasty in crowning Kevin Huerter AKA Butthuert AKA Kevin Huerant. Maybe it’s just due to my pessimistic nature, but I had a feeling that Huerter couldn’t possibly live up to the standards that people were suddenly placing…
Read MoreTrae Young Triple Double 23 Pts/10 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
From a pure field-goals-made perspective (the only perspective that I am capable of coming from), this Trae Young highlight video is not worth your time. Despite scoring 23 points and getting a triple-double (surprisingly, the first of his career), he only made four field goals out of fourteen attempts. Since made field goals comprise 90%…
Read MoreJohn Collins 33 Points/20 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
As time passes (which it is prone to doing), I am becoming more and more convinced that John Collins was an egregious All-Star snub. Egregious being the key word. Previously, I thought he was just a normal All-Star snub, or maybe even barely an All-Star snub. Nope. The NBA/its fans/its players are all complicit in…
