Somehow, at some point, the narrative on Jahlil Okafor switched from “he’s one of the worst players in the league” to “he’s being unfairly marginalized on the 76ers, he would be a beast on a different team”. And I’m not cherry-picking these opinions. By the middle of his second season, it was agreed by nearly…

Jarrett Allen 14 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
Jarrett Allen put on a slam-dunking festival (colloquially known as a “dunkfest”) tonight against the Raptors. He’s working on other parts of his offensive game, but that’s the one that’s getting him the most mileage: just slamming it through the rim with two hands or one hand but not usually zero hands. His proclivity for…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie Career High 31 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
Wow! What a game by Spencer “Din-Dins” Dinwiddie! Would have been even better, though, if the refs had not ROBBED him of TWO free-THROWS at THE end of OVERTIME! I didn’t show his humorous reaction, where he looks right at the baseline camera and incredulously says “this is what I’m talking about”, because this is…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie Career High 26 Points/9 Assists/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
Out of all three of Spencer “Din-Dins” Dinwiddie’s career-high games (seriously, would it be so hard to score one more point?), this is the only one where the Nets won the game. And the win was directly caused by Din-Din’s heroic leaning jumpshot with ten seconds left right in the grill of Taj Gibson. I…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 16 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2018)
I just finished up my dunks of the month video for December, really great vid by the way, you should check it out, anyway, the most important thing that I learned from that video was this: Jarrett Allen really loves getting dunked on. It must be a fetish or something for him, because he was…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/31/2017)
How well does Caris LeVert have to play to permanently unseat DeMarre Carroll from the starting small forward position? He’s already averaging a similar amount of points (12 PPG) in fewer minutes, and gets way more assists. Carroll’s got that whole “gritty defensive mindset” reputation going for him, but the dude’s not even shooting 40%…
Read MoreRondae Hollis-Jefferson 22 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2017)
I know it’s working better for him this year, but man, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson’s shooting form is still one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen on an NBA court. And that’s coming from a guy who watched Andrew Bogut turn his arm into a mixture of bone shards and muscle jelly. Does he…
Read MoreJoe Harris Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2017)
Admit it: when you saw “Joe Harris” and “21 Points” in the same video title, you thought to yourself: “Seven threes” Not an unreasonable assumption to make, considering what we know about Harris’ game, but an incorrect one. Also, if he did make seven triples, I’d definitely put that in the video title. Turns out…
Read MoreQuincy Acy 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
I already talked about Quincy “Assy” Acy’s inability to make two-point field goals this season, but I’m looking at the stats again and it’s blowing my mind as hard as it did the first time so I think I have to bring it up again. After tonight, 38 threes made versus 11 twos. That’s insane…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
OFFICIAL THINGS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN SO THAT CARIS LEVERT CAN GET 25 ASSISTS IN A GAME LIKE RAJON RONDO JUST DID POWER RANKINGS 1. Change nickname from “Baby Durant” to “Adult Rondo” 2. Petition NBA to change the length of the game to 100 minutes 3. Stop scoring 22 points 4. Stop shooting altogether…
