I’ve made a big deal in the past over how Christian Wood benefited mightily from the tutelage of a certain back-to-back MVPer named Giannis Antetokounmpo. Meanwhile, Thon Maker received all those same teachings, and maybe he even internalized them, but his body just doesn’t have the ability to execute scoring moves like Wood’s does. That’s…

Reggie Jackson 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/29/2020)
Reggie Jackson is really making up for all the time that he missed at the beginning of the season. In the four games that he’s played in January, he’s scored 19 PPG per game. When you account for the fact that he’s on some kind of minutes restriction as he works his way back from…
Read MoreBruce Brown 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
There were probably people (not me, because I didn’t think about this game at all before it happened) who were thinking that Bruce Brown would “lock down” Kyrie Irving in this one. Brown has the reputation of being a good defender, Irving has the reputation of being crazy, I bet Pistons fans on the whole…
Read MoreSviatoslav Mykhailiuk 19 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk has been the starter for the Pistons ever since Luke Kennard went out with some kind of injury (my guess is that he’s off in Europe undergoing an experimental new type of hairline restoration surgery that’s not approved for American patients yet). However, it was only recently that Mykhailiuk started PLAYING like an…
Read MoreChristian Wood 20 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)
Since it is plainly obvious to me that Christian Wood is a key component of the Pistons’ future (while Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin are NOT considered to be so vital), I have started a local awareness campaign to make sure that the average person is aware that Wood needs to be getting thirty minutes…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 22 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
Reggie Jackson’s back, people! The Pistons are finally whole again and they can make that playoff push that we’ve all been waiting for! They don’t have to play Bruce Brown out of position anymore! With Reggie Jackson and his steady PG play back in the fold, playoffs are not only a possibility, but they’re a…
Read MoreChristian Wood 23 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
Remember when Christian Wood basically replaced Anthony Davis on the Pelicans last year and did such a good job of it that AD sent a public tweet to LeBron (that was meant to be a DM) that said “if u knew how good that wood kid is, u would be recruiting him and not me….
Read MoreTony Snell 16 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2020)
Since I just got done making a Nicolo Melli highlight video, it got me thinking: how popular would Tony Snell be if he were actually Italian and his name was Antonio Snelli? Italians aren’t overwhelming in their support of their countrymen in the same way that, say, Serbs, Croats, or Lithuanians are. Still, my videos…
Read MoreMarkieff Morris 22 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2020)
This is the second game in a row where Markieff Morris has played somewhat limited minutes, but has been an absolute bucket-getter during the time he was on the court. Last game, it was 23 points in 22 minutes, this game, it’s 22 points in 20 minutes. I don’t normally think of him as a…
Read MoreSviatoslav Mykhailiuk Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2020)
Kind reminder to Lakers fans: you are DISALLOWED from viewing this video. The glorious sight of Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk scoring 25 points in a real NBA game is something that should never grace your eyes. Not after what you did to him. Not after you treated him like a “meme” player. He is not a meme…
