Julius Randle 22 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2016)

Why am I not hyped for Julius Randle? I don’t understand. I watch him play, I know what kind of player he is, and I know that I get hyped for players of similar youngness/quality, yet I feel nothing. NOTHING. Forces outside of his control might have something to do with this. Maybe my distaste…

Lou Williams 28 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2016)

I don’t know why everybody has to be all sad about Kobe retiring. The Lakers already have another Kobe waiting in the wings for when the real Kobe is no longer around to do his Kobe things all over the court. I’m talking, of course, about the Kobelicious one himself, Lou Williams. He can dominate…

Julius Randle 16 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2016)

I just don’t know if all of Julius Randle’s midrange jumpers are sustainable. Actually, I do know. They aren’t. At least not this year. Randle is shooting well below 25% on shots outside of ten feet this season and is not yet any sort of efficient scorer anywhere outside the paint. Since the Lakers’ season…

D’Angelo Russell 21 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2016)

Let’s just forget about the “point guard” designation for D’Angelo Russell. When analyzing his stats with that preconceived notion, it is inevitable that you will end up disappointed. “Wow, this dude has a horrible assist-to-turnover ratio for a point!” However, if you think about him as just a “combo guard”, then all of a sudden…

Brandon Bass 18 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/20/2016)

In the course of making my Dunks of the Month videos, I see a lot of dunks, and I get a pretty good sense of which players are liable to throw down monster whaps and which ones will do nothing but catch passes under the basket and go straight up with no power. Brandon Bass…

Jordan Clarkson 22 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2016)

Fret not, Jordan Clarkson fans. It is only a matter of time before your quarter-Filipino idol becomes the Lakers’s shooting guard of the future. Kobe will be retiring soon. Nick Young and Lou Williams are still, regrettably, under contract for a few more years, but those deals can be moved. Or you can just bench…

Larry Nance Jr. 15 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/3/2016)

After the Suns scored twelve points in their first quarter against the Lakers and then started the second quarter off just as badly, I was getting hyped that they might set or at least tie the record for fewest points in a half by an NBA team. They ended the first half with twenty-two, which…

Lou Williams 30 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2016)

I am forced to reconsider my former position of hating on Lou Williams because of his habit of drawing tons of shooting fouls on jumpers. Why, you ask? Because it turns out that he shoots his free throws really quickly when he gets there. YES! Watch a game from a couple decades ago, and the…

Jordan Clarkson 24 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2015)

That’s lame. Kobe Bryant’s last game at the Garden and he’s not even the leading scorer on his own team? It took him eighteen shots to get his fifteen points so it would only take him 29 shots to score 25, which is one more than Clarkson scored. That amount of shots is well within…
