Behold the next phase in Michael Porter Jr.’s game: BALL DISTRIBUTION. MPJ only had fourteen total assists in 29 games prior to this one. You could tell that he held the so-called “scoring ability” of his teammates in utter disdain. Why would a scoring stud such as him willingly give the ball up to scrubs…

Malik Beasley 27 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2020)
Malik Beasley just got his first twenty-point game of the season after having twelve such games last season. He may have gotten slightly worse as a scorer between this season and last season, but I refuse to believe that he wasn’t capable of these types of performances the entire time he’s been rotting on Mike…
Read MoreP.J. Dozier 12 Points Nuggets Debut Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Maybe this upcoming admission is going to expose me as a fraud who doesn’t really care about the plight of NBA scrubs at all, but I totally didn’t realize that P.J. Dozier was on the Nuggets. I didn’t even realize he was still in the league. If you had asked me what team he played…
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. 19 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
It’s going to be a while before we get to see the Michael Porter Jr. we want to see. The Nuggets have plans. They have aspirations. They want to win games, and they won tons of games without him last year. A young stud scorer is a luxury they have, but don’t exactly need. They…
Read MoreWill Barton 28 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/6/2020)
Will Barton is a pretty decent player, but there’s one big problem with him: his name. “Will Barton”. That’s something that totally needs an upgrade. No one is ever going to be a fan of a player who sounds like a middle-class paper-pusher working a dead-end job with an hour-long commute and a nagging wife….
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. 25 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
Michael Porter Jr. strode into the locker room with an aura of earned confidence to find a gathering of jubilant teammates. After graciously accepting their whooping applause and numerous slaps on the back, things quieted down. The assembled Nuggets players seemed to be waiting for their rookie to make some sort of acknowledgement. “You guys…
Read MoreMonte Morris 18 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2019)
Monte Morris has to be one of the most anonymous players in the league. He has a sick assist-to-turnover ratio, just like he had in college, but that’s the only thing going for him. “Monte Morris”. Just a generic NBA-type name for a generic NBA-type player. It’s very believable that a player by that name…
Read MoreJerami Grant 18 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2019)
As if I needed any more proof that Paul Millsap is currently, and always has been, ruining the Nuggets, take a look at this telltale stat which I found buried among the dust of the internetubes: The Nuggets are 3-0 when Jerami Grant starts. Boom. Any possible counterargument that was forming on your lips about…
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. 19 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2019)
The way I see it, the Nuggets are ROBBING us of primo Michael Porter Jr. action pretty much every game. I have been critical of the Nuggets organization in the past (you can’t just let the most dynamic lob combo in the league, Andre Miller and JaVale McGee, walk away), but this is an issue…
Read MoreWill Barton 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
When I saw that Will Barton had 20 points and 7 assists, my main reaction was to scratch my right armpit. That might not seem like a notable action, but as a reminder for those who may have forgotten: Left pit = pit of goodness. Right pit = pit of badness. The fact that I…
