Indiana is the fifth team in three years for Doug McDermott. Normally a journeyman like that doesn’t get a long contract, but the Pacers apparently liked him enough to give him a 3-year deal for 22 million dollars. 7,333,334 dollars the first two years, and a significant downgrade to 7,333,333 dollars the last year. Kind…

Read MoreCory Joseph 18 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
This Cory Joseph highlight video marks the first time this season that I have made a video for either the Pacers’ starting point guard (Darren Collison) or his primary backup (Cory Joseph). I’ve made two videos for the third-stringer, Aaron Holiday, but somehow, the two guys who are getting the bulk of the PG minutes…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 21 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
Bojan Bogdanovic had a nice game tonight. That goes without saying, because these highlights are here in front of your eyeballs (or eyeball, you filthy pirate), and I don’t make highlights unless a player had at least a superficially nice game. But it was nice for Bogdanovic. 10 made field goals, and he did it…

“Dear Father, I apologize for filling your mailbox with more correspondence from your distraught son, but you are my only source of comfort in these trying times. Today, while playing in a game against the Hornets team from North Carolina (such an odd choice for a team’s name, but I cannot argue, for I play…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 15 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
This video contains Doug McDermott’s first block of the season. That’s not surprising. All the NBA draft intelligentsia knew that his abysmal steal+block numbers in college weren’t likely to improve in the NBA. McDermott had a chance to pad his defensive stats against 6’0″ white dudes from the Buddlechuck Backwoods Baptist Bible College basketball team,…

Let us take a moment to recall the fun times we had when Bojan Bogdanovic was on the Wizards. Sorry: ‘Zards. Hard to remember to keep using that nickname. Anyway, were those fun times or what? I’m pretty sure I was thinking during that time that they were going to make the ECF, they were…
Read MoreAaron Holiday 19 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/19/2018)
Victor Oladipo status: irrelevant. Aaron Holiday status: ascendant. I know I’m not the only one who forgot that Oladipo existed during this blowout win against the Jizz. They cut to him after Holiday made a sick stepback midrange jimbo, showing him shaking his head, and I thought “oh yeah, Oladipo, that’s who the Pacers have…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 19 Points/9 Assists/2 Threes Full Highlights (11/19/2018)
Domantas Sabonis is so good this year. No one’s talking about him, because a.) he’s white and b.) he plays for the Pacers, and there are a bunch of other reasons, but he’s a huge reason why the Pacers are where they are this year. Win Shares aren’t the end-all be-all of stats, but it…
Read MoreAaron Holiday 12 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
Whenever commentators get overly excited for a young player breaking out in front of their eyes, it has the opposite effect on me: I get sad. This pattern holds especially true for commentary crews who have to work for an average, unexciting team like the Pacers. You know that the Pacers, while a decent team,…
