Jonas Valanciunas has been kind of dominating lately. He was apparently so sick (I know that feeling, gotta watch out with that seafood from the iffy-looking Chinese place) the last two games that he couldn’t play, and was still feeling a little woozy in this one. It didn’t matter. His recent statlines: 30 points, 16…

De’Anthony Melton 16 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
De’Anthony Melton AKA DeMelto Anthony was mostly known last season as one of the point guards on the Suns who attempted to ruin Deandre Ayton’s young career. It wasn’t really Melton’s fault, it was just that the Suns had no starting-quality point guards, which resulted in a carousel of starters: Melton started the most games…
Read MoreSolomon Hill 22 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
There are some players who are destined to be forgotten as soon as they stop playing. Players like Carmelo Anthony. That dude scored a ton of points and left no impact on anyone’s minds. Another example: Larry Sanders. There was once a ton of hype for him, but once he marijuanaed himself out of the…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 31 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
Good news, Grizzlies fans! Jaren Jackson Jr., your prized young talent who is probably the future of the franchise alongside Ja Morant, is no longer getting outplayed by Brandon Clarke! Part of that has to do with Clarke getting injured last game and not playing this one, but another part of it is that Jackson…
Read MoreGrayson Allen 13 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2019)
“b-b-b-B-B-BUT DEE TEE BEE!!!” you blurt unthinkingly into your viewing device. “G-g-g-Grayson Allen scored f-f-f-forty last season! How c-c-c-could you disr-r-r-respect him like th-th-that by uploading a video of h-h-him scoring just th-th-th-th-th-THIRTEEN?” Silence yourself, fool, and leave this place. Allen’s forty-point game was a single isolated incident, never to be repeated. In forty minutes…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 26 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2019)
I’m usually fine with the home commentators being total homers. I mean, you can’t spell “homer” without “home”. Being biased or reactionary is basically in the job description. But when Memphis commentator Brevin Knight says, in reference to Dillon Brooks, “he has been the most explosive scorer that the Grizzlies… … have had in the…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 22 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
Jonas Valanciunas was the reason the Grizzlies were within 2 points with 6 minutes left in the game. Everyone else was throwing up bricks, and he was helpfully grabbing those bricks and placing them gently in the bucket so that two points could be scored. After that point, though, he stopped scoring or even shooting,…
Read MoreJae Crowder 20 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
I am of the opinion that banked-in threes should, under no circumstances, count for real-life points in a real-life basketball game. At any level. Pickup, high school, college, pro, Europe, it doesn’t matter. Banked-in threes are always unintentional and they should count as misses. Always. No exceptions. There are no, like, formal polls or studies…
Read MoreJa Morant 20 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
We know Ja Morant can score. Maybe he doesn’t shoot as many jumpers as some people (me) would maybe want, but he can definitely score well enough with his fancy moves to the basket. Scoring is usually the first step a rookie takes on their way to being a good player, and Morant has already…

“The more things change, the more they stay the same.” That’s what my grandma said to me one time, and I thought it was really profound and I was like “damn, Gram-Gram’s got some wisdom in that wrinkly head”. But it turns out she didn’t even make up the saying. I guess it was too…
