Even with that 14-three performance, Klay Thompson has made fewer threes this season than Joe Harris, which lends credence to my theory that Harris could be just as good as Thompson if he was on the Warriors instead. This is a hard theory to do empirical testing on, but I’ve seen enough of both players…

Spencer Dinwiddie 25 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (10/31/2018)
Spencer Dinwiddie scored his first points tonight with 5 minutes to go in the third quarter. A series of clutch threes later, he walked off the floor with 25 points and the win. In honor of D-Rose, I’m not even going to tell you how many points Dinwiddie would’ve had had he gotten to do…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (10/28/2018)
It’s early, but there are surreptitious murmurings of Caris LeVert having already been selected as this year’s Most Improved Player. If so, congrats to him. He really earned it with his efficient 21 points per game. I also heard that the Bucks were crowned the champions. So, uh, no reason to keep going with the…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (10/28/2018)
I’m starting to think that this 15 points/5 assists version of D’Angelo Russell is the last version we’re going to get. He’s been practically the same player since his second year in the league, the same kind-of-okay starting PG whose most lasting accomplishment is saying “he ain’t even stretch doe”. I guess he makes some…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 21 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2018)
Full disclosure: Caris LeVert needed 23 shot attempts to score 21 points. That’s full-on Jordan Crawford territory. If there was any justice in this world, I would not have made this video. I would have looked at LeVert’s statline, which looks good on the surface, and discarded it once the true nature of his inefficiency…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 16 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2018)
Shabazz Napier’s signing with the Nets somehow escaped my notice. I probably heard about it when it happened, but when it happened was probably when everything else was happening and WojBombs were dropping from the sky like raindrops. Coming into tonight, I definitely knew he was in the league, and I knew he wasn’t in…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 24 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2018)
Everyone’s going to want to talk about D’Angelo Russell’s game-losing turnover with 7 seconds left, but what about all the other good stuff that he did? The turnover was bad, but it was only one play, one play out of hundreds in the game. Let’s not overreact. Here are the good things that Russell did…
Read MoreJoe Harris 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (10/20/2018)
I gotta be honest, from one bro to another bro: Joe Harris, your beard looks like trash. You look like that part of Anchorman were a fallen-from-grace Ron Burgundy has become a hobo, except you don’t have droplets of milk in your beard. I understand that it’s petty to rag on NBA players about their…
Read MoreRodions Kurucs 12 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2018)
I have decided that it’s okay to call players the “Next Dirk” as long as Dirk Nowitzki remains in the league. Once he retires, though, we’ll have to pick a new comparison for tall white three-point-shooting Euros. Maybe Porzingis? Markkanen? Neither of those dudes is quite as impactful as the Big Schnitzel, but they’ll have…
Read MoreRodions Kurucs 11 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
If there’s one thing I can say about Rodions Kurucs, it’s that this is not his first rodeo. … Get it? Because “Rodions” and “Rodeo” sound the same? And the American idiom “not his first rodeo” means that he has previous basketball experience? Personally, I thought it was a hilarious joke, and I’m a little…
