In his rookie year, a thirteen-point game from Michael Carter-Williams would have been roughly the fiftieth-best game of his season. It would have been completely unnotable. Now, those same thirteen points, previously considered below average for MCW, are heralded as a cause worthy of celebration. This is the perfect illustration of the precipitous decline that…

Eric Gordon 26 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
Eric Gordon is slowly rounding (get it? rounding… because his head is really round! hahaha) back into form after a fairly disastrous first dozen games. Somehow, the Rockets hadn’t won any of the first two recent games where he was really good, but they won this one, and I bet that will start a trend….
Read MoreDanuel House 18 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
Rockets fans: please don’t expect anything from Danuel “Mini Capela” House. Just don’t. I know you guys really need something to cling on to, some shred of hope that isn’t injured, but House isn’t that hope. He looked good-ish last year for the Suns, but that was because the Suns weren’t even trying to win…
Read MoreEric Gordon 36 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (11/26/2018)
Does anyone even remember Eric Gordon’s 41-point game as a rookie with the Clippers? That was a decade ago now, and there aren’t really any highlights from it. Certainly not “full” highlights, just one of those lame SportsCenter clips that used to infect all corners of YouTube until certain people (including me) got off their…
Read MoreEric Gordon 28 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)
I knew Eric Gordon was struggling, but damn. No one informed me about the extent of his struggles. Get this: prior to tonight, 24 percent three-point shooting on 8 attempts per game. 32 percent from the field overall; he’s not shooting twos much better than threes. Everyone’s been blaming all sorts of stuff for the…
Read MoreGerald Green 17 Points/5 Threes/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
Below is my recommendation for how you should watch this video. I know that you’re your own man (or woman) and that you can make your own decisions regarding your own highlight video consumption, but you should be advised that I am a highlights expert and I probably know best. To derive maximum enjoyment from…
Read MoreJames Ennis 19 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2018)
I am removing Clint Capela from the Rockets’ big three. He’s still pretty good, I wouldn’t really know since I put him on the exclusion list so I don’t see as much of him as I used to. And you can guess who I’m putting in his place, on the back of two straight good…
Read MoreJames Ennis 16 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2018)
Attention Houston fans/media people: if you are blaming James Ennis for any part of the Rockets’ struggles this season, please stop. If him not being as good as hoped is even a small problem, you’ve got way bigger problems to deal with. Sure, he’s not as good as who he replaced, but anyone who thought…
Read MoreJames Ennis 15 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2018)
What were Rockets fans smoking when they though that James Ennis could be any sort of a replacement for anybody? I share my part of the blame; my James Ennis 21 Points vid from last year made him out to be a competent scorer when that was simply not the case. And that vid got…
Read MoreCarmelo Anthony 29 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/2/2018)
Maybe I jumped the gun on banishing Carmelo Anthony to my channel (is banishing even something you can do to something? or only away from?), because this is the third video I’ve had to make for him. Did he even have a game this good at any point last year. I wasn’t paying much attention,…
