NBA guards have, within the last few years, realized that if you want rebounds, all you have to do to get them is to stand around next to the basket and grab them. But it has taken longer for NBA bigs to realize that if you want assists, all you have to do is stand…

Doug McDermott 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/24/2020)
One of the knocks on Doug McDermott coming out of college were his ludicrously low “stocks” (steals and blocks) numbers. Someone did some analysis and determined that players with so few of those defensive stats basically never turn into good NBA players. I guess the thinking is, if you can’t get your hand on the…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 24 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
Domantas Sabonis has to be an All-Star this year, right. RIGHT? I keep looking at all the bigs in the East and from my point of view, there’s NO WAY that he can be left off the team. But that’s me thinking that. I’m biased. If it were up to me Devonte’ Graham would be…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/19/2020)
It is an indisputable fact that Doug McDermott TOOK OVER this game with ABSOLUTE FURY. He scored eighteen of his twenty-four points in the fourth quarter to turn a seven-point deficit into a comfortable eight-point victory for the Pace Cars of Indianapolis. I could hear Nuggets fans all the way in Colorado collectively yelling at…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis Triple Double 22 Pts/15 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (1/19/2020)
Domantas Sabonis arrived at the door of the visitors’ locker room and pushed it open, hoping that the player he most wanted to meet hadn’t already departed. What he found behind the door was a mostly empty locker area, save for one very large man who was hunched over and staring at the floor with…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 29 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
I’m confused as heck right now. Domantas Sabonis had 25 points in the first half of this game. 25 points! Actually, he had 25 points by the halfway point of the second quarter. He was completely unstoppable at the rim. Nobody on the Timberwolves had the girthage, the meatage, or the thickage to prevent Sabonis…
Read MoreAaron Holiday 18 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/10/2020)
Between Aaron Holiday, T.J. McConnell, Edmond Sumner (has had a few decent games), Naz Mitrou-Long (had one decent game) and Victor Oladipo coming back soon, it doesn’t seem like the Pacers even need Malcolm Brogdon at all. They can win games with him, sure, but they can also easily win games without him. So they…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 16 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2020)
Doug McDermott scored sixteen points against the Bulls. He used to play for the Bulls. You know what that means! REVENGE GAME!!! This REVENGE GAME had extra-large amounts of REVENGE because the trade that the Bulls made to send McDermott to the Thunder didn’t make sense then and it really doesn’t make sense now. In…
Read MoreMyles Turner 27 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2020)
I am constantly in a state of bewilderment that Myles Turner is not a better NBA player. I am not exaggerating. Constantly. These thoughts follow me around everywhere I go, as much as I wish they wouldn’t. Like today, I was at the grocery store, you know, just doing my normal shopping (I find it…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/8/2020)
Everyone talks all about all the All-Star players that the Oklahoma City Thunder had and then didn’t have anymore, but when those talks are happening, no one remembers to bring up Domantas Sabonis. The circumstances are slightly different in his case when compared with James Harden or Kevin Durant, because the Thunder actually got a…
