Kevin Huerter 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/3/2020)

When the Hawks were up 29-11 in the first quarter against the Celtics, I was ready to drink the soothing nectar of Celtics fan tears. To get blown out so thoroughly by a team that is usually the one getting blown out would not only shatter the faith that Celtics fans had in their team,…

Alex Len 18 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2019)

I just have to accept that there is nothing I can do or say to make people care about Alex Len. I could be the world’s most persuasive orator, I could have the most compelling arguments, I could offer monetary rewards, it doesn’t matter. The general NBA public is resolute in their stance, and through…

Kevin Huerter 19 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2019)

I’m sure I’m not the only one who was expecting a little more out of Kevin Huerter this year. He hasn’t regressed too badly, just a small dip in percentages and slightly fewer minutes, I would hardly qualify it as a regression at all, but just standing pat is not what young players are supposed…

Brandon Goodwin Career High 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2019)

There was a time, last season, when Brandon Goodwin was the only real point guard on the Denver Nuggets’ roster besides Monte Morris. That fact didn’t help him get any playing time at all, because the Nuggets seem very averse to the idea of having a traditional PG on the court for them, but it…

Allen Crabbe 20 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2019)

I’ve always liked Allen Crabbe. Always. Don’t believe me? Unluckily for you, I have an immaculately-preserved archive of all the stuff I’ve ever written about him, from which I will now give you some choice quotes: “While everyone else is falling all over themselves trying to get a nibble of one of James Harden’s pubes,…

De’Andre Hunter 23 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

De’Andre Hunter is a pretty good player already. This game in particular I was getting serious Kevin Durant vibes from him. But what if you took Hunter and combined him, through some kind of illegal (or at least unethical) scientific experiment, with the similarly-last-named Kevin Huerter? You would end up with a superplayer named De’Andre…

Kevin Huerter 19 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

Kevin “Butthuert” Huerter just had his best game of the season, scoring 19 points, but it doesn’t even seem like that much because a.) his scoring was all spread out over the course of the game, which diluted its emotional impact (even the commentators didn’t seem to realize that Huerter was having anything other than…

Alex Len 23 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)

Alex Len dominating = big Hawks lead. Alex Len not dominating = Hawks lose again. The clear and obvious solution to this problem is to set things up so that Alex Len is always dominating. However, that’s a clear and obvious solution only until you try to do anything other than say it, because Len…

Cam Reddish 14 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2019)

Cam Reddish caught a lot of flak early in the season for being a poor shooter. Some of the flak came from my direction. That’s not to say the flak was undeserved; in fact, it was very obviously deserved when you looked at his in-the-gutter shooting percentages. Reddish isn’t a finished product by any means,…

Kevin Huerter 17 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2019)

Kevin Huerter’s stats aren’t really THAT much worse than they were last year. He’s down a bit in the scoring department, but nothing outrageous. But that’s not what you want from your promising rookie who maybe could be a franchise cornerstone. You want improvement. Clear, definite improvement. It’s possible that he’s simply refocused away from…
