https://youtu.be/9Idc2w_5lU4 On the back of Isaac Okoro’s 32 points, the first thirty-burger of his young and promising NBA career, the Cavaliers took a vastly superior Suns team to overtime. The overtime didn’t quite go as planned, with the Suns outscoring the Cavs twenty to four in those five minutes of bonus time, but it was…

Isaac Okoro 20 Points Full Highlights (4/26/2021)
https://youtu.be/1WFFsx3capA For perhaps the first time this season, Isaac Okoro took an amount of shots befitting a player drafted 5th overall. Sixteen field goal attempts is a season-high for him (his previous high in FGA being 13), and, what do you know, the record amount of shot attempts resulted in a season-high in points as…
Read MoreJarrett Allen Career High 27 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/25/2021)
https://youtu.be/N3lyHkuSdS8 It’s well known that Jarrett Allen is a big computer nerd who likes to build his own computers. This instantly makes him the most relatable NBA player to me, even more relatable than players who are a closer fit to my physical attributes and my skillset, like Matt Thomas or Luke Babbitt (RIP in…
Read MoreTaurean Prince 25 Points Full Highlights (4/14/2021)
https://youtu.be/lJEKdLWqv1g Gaze upon him, Cavaliers fans. Fix your beady, unfocused eyes upon his visage. THIS is the man who your ownership prioritized over emerging studbeast Kevin Porter Jr. THIS is the man whose preferential locker placement ending up driving off a future member of your young core. Look upon his dreadlocks and weep. Every time…
Read MoreIsaac Okoro 19 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2021)
https://youtu.be/e0gKM9m1nmE I’m not sure how many people realize that Isaac Okoro is currently first among all rookies in minutes per game, at 31.8 (Anthony Edwards is at 31.3). Since Okoro is a relatively low-scoring player, the amount of minutes he’s playing is a surprise. For reference, the two players getting 30 MPG this season who…
Read MoreDean Wade 21 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2021)
https://youtu.be/hCe5wYz8PgY The Cavaliers have had to play without Kevin Love for most of this season. Only recently has he come back to the lineup full time. Considering that Love is the only established “star” on the roster (although his stardom is in doubt at this point), that’s a lot of production that has to come…
Read MoreIsaiah Hartenstein 16 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2021)
https://youtu.be/KGo5Wi0r5bo There was a brief, glorious moment of time where Isaiah Hartenstein was the only man standing between the Houston Rockets and a wholehearted embrace of the concept of “small ball”. In that time period, he had some nice scoring games in rapid succession, and it seemed like the Rockets would continue to use him…
Read MoreDarius Garland Career High 29 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/19/2021)
https://youtu.be/eHwPB7ZB_yw I think it’s time for me to cut Darius Garland loose from my channel. He’s developed into a solid 16 PPG per game scorer and he’s on an upward trajectory. That 16 PPG per game that he’s scoring? Soon it will be 17 PPG per game, then 18 PPG per game, and if he’s…
Read MoreDean Wade 17 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/KDYPBS5lbdc Here’s a philosophical question for you: does saying that something is “The Dean Wade Show” make it “The Dean Wade Show”, or are there external criteria for “The Dean Wade Show” that must be met before something becomes “The Dean Wade Show”? Posed another way, can you speak “The Dean Wade Show” into existence,…
Read MoreDarius Garland Career High 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/27/2021)
https://youtu.be/gDzKLicMP84 Darius Garland and Collin Sexton, a duo lovingly termed “Sexland” (tbh not a very creative nickname, they definitely did not consult world-renowned nickname master DownToBuck on this one), combined to shoot a chuckerific 20 of 51 from the field in this game. Sexton was 11 of 27 for 28 points, fine, whatever, and Garland…
