Nene 16 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2017)

When I sat down at my ultra high-powered highlights battlestation, preparing to make a premium Nene highlight video, I expected there to be at least five dunks. Maybe six. Because when you’re an athletic center who plays next to James Harden, you’re gonna get a lot of dunks. It’s almost to the point where you…

Patrick Beverley Career High 26 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

We just found out that James Harden is a product of his system. A “system babby” if you will. Pat Beverley was just one assist and two rebounds shy of a triple-double, but we have been conditioned to believe that Harden’s relentless stream of triple-doubles is something to be admired and adulated. Um, if Pat…

Troy Williams 21 Points/6 Threes Rockets Debut Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

This game by Troy Williams is right up there for the “Most Unexpected Performance” award, an award which should for real be a real award that the NBA really awards. Not convinced? Here, let me spell it out for you. For one, this is Williams’ career-high. That by itself isn’t too crazy, but it’s also…

Clint Capela 21 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2017)

Clint Capela was the only Rocket to shoot an acceptable percentage from the field last night. He was nine-of-ten from the field; the rest of his teammates were a combined 24 of 75 for a cool .32 percent. James “MVP” Harden himself shot twenty shots but only made five of them. What lessons can be…

Trevor Ariza 24 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/26/2017)

Trevor Ariza is in the top 10 for three-point attempts again this year. That’s three years in a row now, so we can’t blame D’Antoni for this apparent oddity. An oddity until you notice that he was THIRD in that category two years ago. Somehow it escaped my notice that during the 2014-15 season, the…

Clint Capela 19 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)

Unlike my last Clint Capela video, which was ruined by free throws (the Grizzlies are now on my official list of teams who I will refuse to make highlights of, forever, because they were hacking my man Clint), this video is not ruined by free throws because the Capellmeister didn’t make any of his free…

Clint Capela 24 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2017)

I don’t really have an opinion on Hack-a-whatever. I leave the opinions to the tryhards who care deeply about the rules of basketball. That said, Hack-a-Cap pretty much ruined my highlight video from a pacing perspective. It was proceeding along just fine with plenty of dunks and layups from the Capellmeister until the Grizzlies decided…

Lou Williams 27 Points/7 Threes Rockets Debut Full Highlights (2/23/2017)

The sound you just heard was Rockets fan collectively soiling their undergarments with jizz. Not the most pleasant sound in the world, right? Kind of a grunt-sigh mixed with the sound of chili being messily ladled into a bowl. UHH-uhhhhh. Splort splop. Ooooohhhh. Moving on. Lou Williams set a high bar with this 7-triple performance….

Clint Capela 17 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (2/7/2017)

Clint Capela is sixth in the league in dunks this year, having slam-jammed the ball 94 times in 35 games. This is a vast improvement over last season, when he dunked just 99 times in 77 games. Most of the improvement can be attributed to James Harden and his lob-throwing prowess, but Capela himself shouldn’t…

Clint Capela 22 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2017)

Dwight Howard looked up from his seated position on the bench during pregame shootarounds. “Somehow, I knew you’d be making a visit,” he said. Clint Capela smirked. “Everybody here in Houston hates your guts. Just thought I would let you know.” “Yeah, I think you already told me,” Dwight said, clearly tired of Clint’s harassment….
