I’m worried about Spencer Dinwiddie’s three-point shooting. He’s shooting 28% on a career-high volume. While the rest of his game is just as it ever was, his regression in this facet of the game definitely has me, if not wallowing in a tar-pit of despair, at least dipping my toes into the despair-pit. I don’t…

Joe Harris 22 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2019)
Attention basketball-reference: I love your stats, you’re a big help in righting these descriptions, but there is no way in diddly poodle-poo that Joe Harris’ nickname is “Beef Jerky Joe”. You just made that up, didn’t you? What does beef jerky even have to do with anything? It’s a totally nonsensical nickname that literally NO…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 22 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (11/20/2019)
With this dunkalicious performance, composed of 7 (should’ve been 8 but he totally blew a wide open one) sick slammers, Jarrett Allen jumps (get it????? JUMPS!!!! hahahaha) from 11th in the yearly dunking stats to 6th. The fact that he was as low as 11th speaks to the temporary dysfunction occuring within the Nets right…

One of the really cruddy things about getting a superstar (through trade, draft, or development) is that you end up marginalizing the fun players who play the same position as the superstar. There are countless examples of this happening all around the league; the one closest to my heart is how D.J. Wilson is getting…
Read MoreJoe Harris 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/16/2019)
Joe Harris is basically the same player he was last year. Same insane three-point percentage, same scoring, slightly fewer assists (before tonight, that is), same meager rebounding, nearly the same playing time. It’s actually rare to see a player be so consistent year-over-year. But if he’s just as good as he was last season, why…

Does anybody out there know how to start a petition? Like, a real petition? Not those fake change.org petitions. Everybody knows those are pointless. Those are just there for virtue signallers on the internet to signal their virtues without actually doing anything, not even scribbling their real-life signature with a real-life pen on a real-life…
Read MoreDzanan Musa 12 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2019)
Yeah, I know, 12 points isn’t very many, but I felt like if I wanted to ever have a Dzanan Musa highlight video adorning my channel, I had to lower my standards a bit. And it’s not like I even lowered them that much, obviously, I have different standards for every player, and they’re going…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 34 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
This is the old Spencer Dinwiddie. Last year’s version of Dinwiddie, the year before that’s version of Dinwiddie. The Dinwiddie who took and made tons of Curry-range threes, the Dinwiddie who took over games. The Dinwiddie who teamed up with D’Angelo Russell to form an unorthodox but fearsome PG duo. I thought the old Dinwiddie…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/4/2019)
Caris LeVert edges ever closer to the mystical 20 points per game threshold, the threshold where you stop being a role-player and start being a star. Or if not a star, at least something between a role-player and a star. But definitely no longer a role-player. The only role-player who ever scored 20 points per…

You know things weren’t going particularly well for Jarrett Allen this season when he got benched for DeAndre Jordan. A couple years ago, that would be a normal thing to have happen, but it seems like Jordan can barely dunk these days. How is a springy/youthful/afroed Allen losing his starting gig to old man Jordan?…
