It’s only three games into the season, but the Warriors are looking really beatable. At this point, they’ve earned the right to coast in the regular season, but it’s not like they want to lose. They want to win, every pro athlete does. And they couldn’t do it. Because the Denver Nuggets were too good….

Jamal Murray 26 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2018)
I would never have made this highlight video if I had known that almost a fifth of Jamal Murray’s points came off of technical free throws. Those are, indubitably (heh heh), the lamest type of points in all of basketball. Their runtime is short, but their impact on a highlight video is large. Too many,…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 35 Pts/12 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
Full title of this video since YouTube is oppressing me with restrictive character limits: “Nikola Jokic Triple Double 35 Points/12 Rebounds/11 “Assists”/4 Steals/0 Missed Shots/0 Turnovers/1 Dunk/5 MVP Chants/1 Bewildered Rookie Dominated Full Highlights (10/19/2018)”. This was, almost literally, a perfect performance by Jokic. He missed a free throw and had some personal fouls. Other…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 35 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Nikola Jokic walked into the now-barren Nuggets locker room. He had been putting off this moment for days, like if he didn’t clean out his locker, the season could still be going on… the act of cleaning out his locker had a certain finality about it. There was no turning back after that, no returning,…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 15 Pts/20 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (4/9/2018)
How many triple-doubles would Nikola Jokic have if the Nuggets’ (and others) scorekeepers weren’t insistent on putting the “ass” in “assists” and rewarding him with them at their own whim? Probably that game where he had 17 dimes would still make the cut, and maybe that 14-assist performance, but other than that, I don’t think…
Read MoreWill Barton 31 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
There’s just something missing for me when it comes to Will Barton. I don’t think I could get hyped for him even if he scored 50, even though he’s just about as good as Khris Middleton and I love that dude. It’s always an issue when I don’t appreciate a role-player as much as they…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 23 Pts/11 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
The Nuggets aren’t done yet! I’ve written them off approximately 50 times recently in various descriptions, but they’re still kicking. Not only are the still kicking, but they’re kicking other teams right in the SACK, this time divesting the Clippers of their earnestly-held playoff dreams. I’m still absolutely 100-percent uncertain of what they have to…
Read MoreDevin Harris 20 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2018)
Devin Harris is currently averaging the same PPG for Denver (8.5) that he did for Dallas, and his shooting percentages aren’t that different either. Basically, he’s the same player now as he was then, like the total change in rosters didn’t effect him a bit. That’s how you know he’s a true SAVVY vet and…
Read MoreWill Barton 26 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
At points this season, Will Barton has been a convenient scapegoat whenever the Nuggets lost, which was more often than maybe they should have given their talent level. Never mind that Paul Millsap is the real scapegoat here (for ruining team chemistry) or that many other players had fixable defiencies that led to losses (Jokic…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 30 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/3/2018)
They say time heals all wounds. I don’t know who this nebulous “they” is, but they’re obviously misinformed, because it’s been 2 whole days and I’m still super salty about how the Nuggets beat the Bucks last game. Gaping wounds all over the place from that one, and they’re just as gaping as when they…
