https://youtu.be/TiVp1Tgzha8 I’ve totally lost track of who should be winning the MIP Improved Player award this season (is Jerami Grant still eligible????), but maybe we should be putting Miles Bridges’ name in the conversation? Actually, I don’t need anyone’s permission to put his name in the conversation. I’m just going to do it. UNILATERALLY. I’m…

P.J. Washington 26 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2021)
https://youtu.be/j-tzUrhcv8w P.J. Washington had seventeen points in the first quarter of this game. Actually, to be more specific, he had seventeen points in the final six minutes of the first quarter of this game. During that brief stretch of time, he was hitting threes like prime Klay Thompson and looked completely unstoppable. I wasn’t watching…

https://youtu.be/GE7JCBEXbtw The Miles Bridges experience of last year was a weird one. He was scoring points, sometimes a lot, sometimes less than a lot, but in the end his pointage was way up from his rookie season. But his increased scoring seemed only to lead to increased losses for the Hornets. No one, anywhere, even…

https://youtu.be/joI15HElfeM Miles Bridges suffered a severe decrease in his dunk rate from his rookie year to his second year. He went from 16% of his attempts being dunks to just 7% of his attempts being dunks. While I am fully in favor of players adding new weapons to their offensive arsenal and generally expanding their…

https://youtu.be/1gbZy_zJW7U This is not only Jalen McDaniel’s career high in the NBA (and probably college, as well as high school, I’m too lazy to check, but you might have to go back to him dominating 5-foot tall midgets as an unnaturally tall middle-schooler to find a time he scored this many points), this is his…

https://youtu.be/qeRYyPePr8c The Hornets commentary team that consists of… guy… and… other guy who might be the father of a certain multiple-time MVP has developed a reputation for bringing excitement to otherwise somewhat bland Hornets games. True, the Hornets are not the ultra-lame team that they have been in the past (though they still have Cody…

https://youtu.be/RWjJBPgIGLI P.J. Washington turned over comfortably in his bed, searching out a cool spot on his pillow. Not finding one, he briefly opened his eyes so that he could flip the pillow over, thereby accessing an entire untouched expanse of coolness for his head to rest upon. When his eyes opened, they were dazzled by…

https://youtu.be/g2mqp7-028c I have to say, a Malik Monk highlight video just isn’t a Malik Monk highlight video unless it has the Charlotte commentators. Sure, these Suns commentators are kind of enthused about Monk’s performance in this game, I have to give them props for at least acknowledging what he was doing on the court (sometimes…

https://youtu.be/5jLaoXF0QQE Hornets fans are certainly feeling fat and cocky right now. For the first time since… forever, as far as I can tell, there is some buzz (get it??????? BUZZ! because they’re the HORNETS LMAO) around their franchise. There is excitement. They have the best rookie in the league. Wins? Sometimes! Beating the Timberwolves isn’t…
