Jeremy Lamb 26 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2019)

DTB’s useless NBA fact of the day: 26 points is the second-most any player has scored this season while making six or fewer field goals. Bradley Beal, unfortunately, once scored 28 on just six field goals, so Jeremy Lamb doesn’t quite get to enter his name into the record books. Devin Booker, Blake Griffin, Kevin…

Jeremy Lamb 21 Points Full Highlights (3/17/2018)

The Hornets’ 75 points against the Heat is tied for the third-lowest score for a team this season. Here are the games that have the dubious distinction of being just as bad or worse than this absolute stinker that the Hornets disgraced our eyeballs with: 1. Utah Jazz, 68 points (leading scorer: Ricky Rubio, 11)…

Miles Bridges 15 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (3/9/2019)

I hope that Miles Bridges did okay in the dunk contest. I didn’t watch it (and I’m going to keep reminding you of that fact until some acknowledges that they’re impressed by my willful shunning of the event), so I don’t know what types of dunks he even did. But he does strike me as…

Marvin Williams 30 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/8/2019)

“Um, Mr. Williams?” said one of the ballboys in a tentative voice. Marvin Williams smiled kindly at him as he got ready to change out of his street clothes into his game jersey. “What’s up?” The ballboy still seemed nervous; he looked down at the floor as he talked rather than directly at the person…

Frank Kaminsky 20 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)

I just realized that Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was recently excised from the Hornets’ rotation in favor of Frank Kaminsky. Previously, I hadn’t bothered to look at whose playing time was affected by Kaminsky’s re-insertion into the lineup. I just assumed it was, like, Bismack Biyombo or Willy Hernangomez or Cody Zeller. I didn’t expect that coach…

Frank Kaminsky 18 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

I’m sitting here staring at this “buy one large pizza get one free” coupon and thinking “can I eat two whole large pizzas by myself?”. Mind you, this is one of those places where the larges are gigantic, not wimpy Pizza Hut-style larges, because they don’t even have an extra large size. So the answer…

Jeremy Lamb 23 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

Jeremy Lamb is, clearly, the second banana, banana number two if you will, in Charlotte. Kemba Walker is far and away the first banana when it comes to putting the ball in the hole. Lamb is averaging a full 10 points less than Kemba, but he’s still clearly the second banana because only two other…

Jeremy Lamb 22 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)

I’m looking at the list right now, and I’m thinking Jeremy Lamb might be the most anonymous NBA player to be averaging 15 points per game this year. There are 71 such players; the only other ones who might be close are… Collin Sexton? He’s a rookie, so people should know about him. Malcolm Brogdon?…

Frank Kaminsky 15 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)

Frank Kaminsky isn’t a great NBA player, but does he fall into the category of “unplayably bad”? I don’t think so. Hornets fans are free to disagree with me, because they presumably have watched him play (or not play, as has been the case recently) for the whole season, but my opinion is that a…

Cody Zeller Career High 28 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/25/2019)

Cody Zeller went 13 of 14 from the field in this game, so the first question on everyone’s minds will be “well, what did his missed shot look like?”. I’ll ask you to guess first before telling you. Did he attempt a poster dunk on DeMarcus Cousins and fail but not because he got it…
