Zion Williamson’s going to have a tough time of it if he wants to make up all the ground he’s lost in the ROTY of the Year race. Ja Morant’s been having tons of big games, which is one thing, but now he’s had a big game, in a win, on national TV. This might…

Jonas Valanciunas 18 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2019)
Based on last year’s performances, I was all set for the Grizzlies this year to be the Valanciunas-Caboclo-Morant show. Is that a big three? As things currently stand, no, that’s not a big three, but it definitely should be if Taylor Jenkins would allow it to happen. A big three such as that would entice…
Read MoreJa Morant 23 Points/11 Assists/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (11/13/2019)
Because of the nature of my work, my slavish devotion to all things role-playerish and scrublike, I don’t often get to see performances that really wow me. I see a lot of performances that are pretty okay, a role-player getting hot and hitting a bunch of shots usually. But I don’t get to see performances…
Read MoreMarko Guduric 17 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2019)
I’m sensing that there are a lot of people out there who don’t realize that Marko Guduric in the league. Admittedly, I didn’t realize he was in the league until I saw a boxscore with his name in it, and it still took me a bit because I deliriously thought that Dan Gadzuric was back…

Try as I might, I can’t find a way to blame Dwane Casey for Jonas Valanciunas’ lack of production this season. He was a convenient scapegoat during all those years Valanciunas was in Toronto, enabling Valanciunas fans to direct their frustrations towards an external source rather than an internal source. Plus, it was just blatantly…

The Internet, perhaps the greatest collection of knowledge ever assembled in human history, seems to be lacking somewhat in the “NBA highlights of Jaren Jackson” department. I’m talking about the father of the Jaren Jackson seen here. The Internet is definitely not lacking in highlights of his son, thanks in no small part to my…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 23 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2019)
For some reason the Grizzlies decided that this game would be a perfect game to start emulating what the elite teams in the league do. You know what I’m talking about: Load management! Never mind that the players that had their loads managed were two rookies, Ja Morant and (relevant to the content of this…

How pathetic is it that whenever I see Marko Guduric’s name in a boxscore my heart skips beat because I think that Dan Gadzuric is back in the league and playing for the Grizzlies? Your options are: A. Extremely pathetic because anyone who gets attached to any NBA player is surely a total loser who…
Read MoreBrandon Clarke 18 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2019)
One of the less-commented-on storylines of the nascent NBA season is that Jaren Jackson Jr., a stud rookie who was supposed to only get better, is getting outplayed by a random Canadian rookie named Brandon Clarke. A lot of people had a lot of expectations for JJJ (not me though because his scoring game is…
