You could tell this would be a different kind of game than we’re used to from Landry Shamet when, early in the game, he grabbed a rebound, pushed it up the court, and instead of pulling it back out to wait for someone else to take the ball, he drove it straight to the rim….

Marcus Morris 19 Points Full Highlights (8/17/2020)
Here’s a fun statistical for your general consideration: Marcus Morris, in the span of this single season, went from shooting 44 percent from three for the Knicks to shooting 31 percent from three for the Clippers. Isn’t that fun or what? I’m having so much fun right now. I’m not even going to mention the…
Read MoreTerance Mann Career High 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (8/14/2020)
Terance Mann was shooting around several hours before the game. There were a few NBA staff members milling around, but no players. That was for the best. Terance didn’t want to be disturbed. He did a few dribble moves before pulling into a midrange jumpshot. Swish. Just like the last ten. But he wondered if…
Read MoreAmir Coffey Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (8/14/2020)
Amir Coffey walked into the locker room after the Clippers’ victory in their final regular-season game. The mood was jubilant, even though many of the players on the roster hadn’t even played in the game; there was much clapping of backs and exchanging of fist-bumps all around. Many jokes were told about how the Clippers’…
Read MoreTerance Mann 14 Points Full Highlights (8/9/2020)
While editing the thumbnail for this video, it struck me that Terance Mann has a somewhat feminine jawline. That’s not, like, a problem or anything, but it stands out in a league where most of the players have jawbones that jut out more. The mammoth square jaws of the NBA can usually be attributed to…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 19 Points Full Highlights (8/8/2020)
For most players, a jump in production between seasons one and two is expected. The NBA is hard for a rookie to adjust to, but an off-season of refined workout techniques and a year of NBA games under one’s belt means that the second year is supposed to be significantly easier than the first. And…
Read MoreIvica Zubac 21 Points/0 Missed Field Goals Full Highlights (8/6/2020)
Check out the statlines from the so-called “stars” on the Clippers roster: KaWHINE LeoNERD: 29/6/5 on an ultra inefficient 10-of-23 from the field, I guess he needs some more load management Paulina Georgette: 24/7/6 on an ultra inefficient 10-of-21 from the field, total brickfest from start to finish Lou iLLiams: 6/2/3 on an ultra super…
Read MoreIvica Zubac 18 Points Full Highlights (8/4/2020)
Everybody comments on the fact that the Rockets have taken the concept of “small ball” to its absurd conclusion, but nobody really mentions that the Clippers are on their way to doing something similar. Or if they are mentioning it, I’m not seeing it because I don’t actually read any NBA journalism other than my…
Read MoreMontrezl Harrell All 134 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Montrezl Harrell got out of his car and walked up the long walkway to the front door of the mansion. He had been invited to this house before, but it never ceased to impress him with its size and grandeur. It was the kind of place that would have pet tigers roaming the lawn. He…
Read MoreKawhi Leonard All 198 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-2020 Season Jumperilation Part II)
Ignoring the persistent knocking at his door, Kawhi focused on assembling a robotic arm that had three independently-moving fingers at the end of it. Mechanical engineering was another discipline that he had taught himself over the past two weeks of nonstop work. Whoever was trying to get his attention would just have to accept the…
