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…

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…

https://youtu.be/Vgu6khzRd0M When you think about up-and-coming guard duos in the NBA, what do you think of? Do you think of anything at all? I just started thinking about this as a fun thought exercise, and maybe I haven’t had enough Pop-Tarts this morning, but my brain is just completely unwilling to disgorge its list of…

Has Darius Garland turned the proverbial corner? Has he stopped playing like a slug and started playing like a 5th overall pick? Has he he figured out the intricacies of the NBA game and will now start playing with pose and confidence? I don’t know about all of that, but he was pretty good tonight….

The Cavaliers’ aptly-named “Young Inefficient Tunnel-Vision Midget Chuck Bros” tandem actually had a pretty good game tonight! Collin Sexton put up 30 (along with a whopping 2 assists, which is a large amount considering that when he has the ball he is literally incapable of seeing anything other than the rim), and Garland had 20…

One of the reasons the draft works so well is because the best players go to the worst teams, allowing them the most chances to score tons of points and get everyone all hyped up for them. This increases the overall excitement of the league by quite a bit. If highly-touted rookies got to just…

Okay, whoops, I just totally forgot that I actually had to write some words for Darius Garland instead of just blazing ahead and making another video. Could it be that I secretly resent having to compose all these paragraphs and wish that I could just make endless videos without being required to offer my inane…
