I’m having trouble figuring out whether or not the Mavericks are a good team. They’ve won seven of their last nine games after losing seven of their first nine games to open up the season, and they have many of the components of a good team: -Starter-quality backup PG (Barea) -Emerging young stud (Doncic) -Hyper-efficient…

Devin Harris 18 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
My last Devin Harris video was made in April 2018. He was on the Nuggets at that time after having been traded there from the Mavericks, and I was lamenting the fact that he wasn’t a Mav 4 Lyfe like I had hoped he would be. Luckily, he was to become a free agent that…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 21 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
I wasn’t going to make this video on account of how many free throws Luka Doncic had, but screw it. I’m hovering in a strange state between consciousness and unconsciousness right now, my inhibitions are lowered, and after all, he did score 21 points. That’s more than his average. After that last “assist” to Harrison…
Read MoreJ.J. Barea 18 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
J.J. Barea was straight up a midrange assassin in this game. He would just get somebody to set a screen for him, run to his spot, and pop his little jumper that he somehow gets off even though defenders usually have about a foot of height on him. Sometimes, instead of the jumper, he would…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 24 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
I was previously a critic of how ragged-looking Luka Doncic was earlier in the season, and I don’t think that was unfair. He looked like he just woke up in the grittiest Ljubljana alleyway with his pockets pilfered and a nasty hangover. But now I think he’s gone a bit too far in the other…
Read MoreJ.J. Barea 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/10/2018)
J.J. Barea, at the ripe old age of 33, had the best season of his career last year, and I don’t feel like anyone really noticed. More points per game than ever, more assists per game than ever. And if you’re one of those sweaty dorks who disdains boxscore stats, he also had more winshares…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/10/2018)
The main difference between the Luka Doncic from this game and the Luka Doncic from previous games: he was getting assists by finding three-point shooters. That’s, like, the easiest way to get assists in the NBA, but he’s been stubbornly trying to get people layups and stuff. That’s great when you can do it, but…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 24 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2018)
I’m feeling a Luke Doncic floater-ilation coming at the end of the season. No guarantees, because that would be harder than my usual compilation (three-pointers and dunks are easier to quantify than what exactly a floater is), but it would be probably the sickest thing ever. Sicker than the Dirk fadeaway-ilations I made. Those got…
Read MoreWesley Matthews 22 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2018)
It’s interesting that Wes Matthews is having, by far, the highest-scoring season of his Mavericks tenure while also shooting at the best efficiency of that same tenure. It’s inarguable that this is the best Matthews has played, from a raw stats perspective, since his Blazers days. Usually when I say “inarguable”, I’m being facetious or…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 23 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2018)
The scoring is already here for Luka Doncic. Not what all the haters were expecting, him averaging 20 (if you haven’t noticed I’m obsessed with the concept of people averaging 20), but there it is. But where’s the assisting? Where’s the passing wizardry? We get a few good dimes a game, but he’s got almost…
