I guess I can put away for now the obituary/eulogy I had written up for Jeremy Lin. I saw how poorly he started off the season, and knowing that he was coming off a bad injury, I thought that was it for him. That his minutes would slowly dwindle to nothing and he’d be out…

Trae Young 18 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/6/2018)
Trae Young’s been playing way better to start the year than I anticipated. I’ve said this before. He just doesn’t have the look of a player who can come in and, if not dominate, at least be competent right away. Only problem is, he’s not making any threes. That’s the whole reason I watch Hawks…
Read MoreDewayne Dedmon 15 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/3/2018)
Fifteen points really isn’t that much for Dewayne Dedmon when you consider his body of work from the previous season. However, given the uncertain center situation is Atlanta this season, I went ahead and made this video because there’s no guarantee that The Cacodedmon AKA Judge Dedd AKA Jumpin’ Jehovah will put together such a…
Read MoreVince Carter 12 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/3/2018)
Vince Carter, at 41 years of age, is currently three years older than the next-oldest person who has appeared in a game this season (Jamal Crawford, 38). Pau Gasol and Udonis Haslem are also 38. Dirk Nowitzki is 40, but hasn’t appeared in a game yet. Think about the 40-year-olds you know. Maybe it’s your…
Read MoreTrae Young 24 Points/15 Assists Full Highlights (11/3/2018)
I’m unsure if I’ve already said this (not like I have an archive of descriptions I can refer to anything), but I did not expect Trae Young to be this good this early. I fully thought it would take him a month or so before doing anything of note. He just didn’t seem like the…
Read MoreDeAndre’ Bembry 13 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2018)
After Deandre’ Bembry’s first and only three-pointer in this game, one of the Hawks commentators (the one who isn’t ‘Nique) threw out this little tantalizing tidbit of statistical trivia: Bembry is shooting 47% from three this season. For a guy who has never had (and, I would argue, still doesn’t have) a reliable jumpshot, that’s…
Read MoreTrae Young 14 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/1/2018)
No three-pointers in this one. If you, like me, like Trae Young because of his ability to shoot the three-ball from anywhere, don’t watch this video. Or do, but learn to enjoy it for other reasons, like his passing wizardry, or his finishing ability. Those things are both way lamer than threes jacked up from…
Read MoreJeremy Lin 23 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2018)
Just out of curiosity, I looked at the boxscore from the game where Jeremy Lin scored 38 against the Lakers during the peak of Linsanity. Almost all of the other dudes involved are out of the league. Pau Gasol from the Lakers is still around, as is Tyson Chandler and Iman Shumpert from the Knicks….
Read MoreKevin Huerter 13 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
Kevin “That Other Hawks Rookie” Huerter was a dude that I wanted the Bucks to target in the draft. Last year that dude was Jarrett Allen, and see how right I was about that one? Keep in mind that I’m pretty much the world’s worst prospect evaluator, barely ahead of Ryan McDonough. The fact that…
Read MoreAlex Len 22 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
Don’t let this video fool you; Alex Len is nearly the same player he was in Phoenix except he has added something of a three-ball. Like his bro Trae Young, he is only capable of having good games if the opposing team has Tristan Thompson on it. Suns fans, don’t worry too much about getting…
