Ben McLemore 27 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2019)

On the surface, it may seem like James Harden had a better game tonight than Ben McLemore. After all 34 points is, following the arcane precepts of mathematics, more than 27. Similarly, 6 rebounds is more than 2, 4 assists is more than 0, 3 steals is more than 1, and 1 block is more…

P.J. Tucker 18 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2019)

No one EVER told me that P.J. Tucker’s real name doesn’t have a P or a J in it. When you initialize something, usually that something is your actual name, not just some random words you string together. “Pops Junior”. I mean, I guess he can call himself whatever he wants (it is kinda weird…

Ben McLemore 28 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (12/5/2019)

Just for fun, here’s a list of players that were on the court for the Kings while Ben McLemore scored his career-high 31 (his only game that had more points than the one he had tonight) on April 16th, 2014: -Derrick Williams (somehow out of the league) -Jason Thompson (still can be a 20 and…

Austin Rivers 19 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2019)

Austin Rivers scored all 19 of his points tonight before another Rockets bench player even scored one. Shout out to Tyson Chandler for getting a single bucket at the end of the third quarter. It turns out that from the rest of the bench, Chris Clemons can only score in garbage time, Gary Clark can’t…

Chris Clemons 16 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2019)

Chris Clemons is short for an NBA player. Average-sized for a normal American, and gigantic compared to the average Guatemalan, but for an NBA player? Midget. The only player as midgety as him that’s currently playing (shoutout to Kay Felder and Tyler Ulis) is the one-and-only Isaiah Thomas. But for some reason, Clemons doesn’t seem…

Ben McLemore 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/30/2019)

The Rockets have won 4 out of 5 games that Ben McLemore has started this season. This fuels my theory that McLemore might be the “secret sauce” for Houston. If you are not familiar with the concept of “secret sauce”, “secret sauce” is when you have a really great sauce recipe that you use to…

Gary Clark 12 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)

I will never, ever, for as long as I live, forget how Rockets fans were obsessed with this guy being some sort of “missing piece” that was going to “contribute” to their “championship-contending” squad. Here are some actual quotes from actual Rockets fans going into last season: “Mastermind Morey at it again. Can’t believe this…

Danuel House Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)

It says a lot about the state of Rockets right where you can see that Danuel House is one of their top five players. Possibly top four, and if you want to be super-duper realistic and not be blinded by the blazing light of superstardom, maybe top three. Honestly, I think I would really enjoy…

Austin Rivers 19 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2019)

“Dear Diary, Things have been different since the Rockets traded Chris for Russell. When I found out that stupid baby Chris was going to play somewhere else, I was real happy. Chris was never any fun and coach Mike always said he was the starter even when I told him that I wanted to be…

Ben McLemore 20 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2019)

I apologize for this wholly unoriginal thought, but I’m thinking right now that Ben McLemore/Austin Rivers/Chris Clemons as a combined triumvirate is a better fit with James Harden than Russell Westbrook is. My views are not at all tainted by the fact that those three combined for 58 points in this game while Westbrook sat…
