This is the fifth Eric Gordon vid I have made so far in the playoffs. For the whole regular season leading up to this, I made four. One of those was a 50-burger, which basically counts as two vids by itself, but still. What’s going on here? Gordon spends the entire season injured/sucking, and then…

Eric Gordon 21 Points Full Highlights (9/2/2020)
“This might be the breakout game that he’s looking for,” says ESPN commentator Mark Jones after Eric Gordon hits two three-pointers in rapid succession to give him a blistering total of SIX WHOLE POINTS halfway through the first quarter. I’m all for commentators trying to manufacture hype and excitement, but trying to do it with…
Read MoreRobert Covington 21 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (9/2/2020)
This performance was great, but, as they (“they” being “dudes who literally went to space and didn’t die”) say, “Houston, we have a problem”. That problem is that Robert Covington, despite having the BEST forehead wrinkles in the entire league (a comprehensive ranking of the forehead wrinkles of all NBA players will be made available…
Read MoreRobert Covington 18 Points/5 Steals/3 Blocks Full Highlights (8/31/2020)
Robert Covington played some defense this game. Normally, this wouldn’t be something I would take notice of, but you guys are in luck: he played the type of defense that showed up in the box-score and thus was able to be recognized by me. There’s a very real chance that Covington played additional defense in…

Full Title of this video: “Eric Gordon 20 Points/8 Layups/1 Floater Full Highlights (8/29/2020)” The reason I didn’t put the full title of this video as the actual title of this video is because I know, personally, that if I stumbled upon a “highlight” vid that purported to show eight LAMEups, I would never, EVER,…
Read MoreRobert Covington 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (8/29/2020)
Robert Covington did not have a good time of it in the regular season Bubble games. Much like this teammate Eric Gordon, who was a walking pair of butt cheeks for those extra eight seeding games, Covington spent most of his time on the court bricking threes. The numbers are staggeringly bad: 13 of 56…
Read MoreEric Gordon 23 Points Full Highlights (8/24/2020)
Eric Gordon, prior to tonight, had not been a good shooter in the Rockets-Thunder series. At all. 4-of-26 from three? According to my math (which is actually just me hitting random buttons in Windows’ built-in calculator while sobbing), that’s 15%. That is straight up booty. Not only is that straight up booty, that is straight…
Read MoreDanuel House 21 Points Full Highlights (8/24/2020)
Some buzzer-beaters echo through history, their buzzer-beateriness having ramifications on the fortunes of teams even decades after the ball swished through the net. These are the shots that are replayed again and again, each time causing viewers to think: “What if? What if that shot hadn’t gone in?” These are the shots that you point…
Read MoreJeff Green 22 Points Full Highlights (8/22/2020)
Jeff Green: the Rockets’ second-best player in this series? Yeah, he is, and it’s not really close at all. He’s averaging like 20 PPG for the series, on 60% shooting from the field and 50% from three. Meanwhile, the only other guy who has a legit claim to the title, Eric Gordon, just went 8-for-24…
Read MoreDanuel House 19 Points Full Highlights (8/20/2020)
At the point when Danuel House scored his final points at the line, giving him 19 for the game, James Harden was sitting at a nice, even 10. It was really looking like House would be the undisputed GOAT of this game, the leading scorer of a balanced attack that the Thunder had no answers…
