Wow, I totally didn’t realize that this performance by Tyus Jones was one short of a career-high in points. How has he not scored 20 yet? He’s been in the league for five years now, and he’s been a decent-ish role-player for all those years, and he doesn’t have even one 20-burger to his name?…

Josh Jackson 19 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
Everybody loves a good redemption arc. Whether it’s in a TV show, a movie series, in real life, or in sports (which are realer than real life), it’s hard for the common man not to root for the guy (or girl) who fell from grace and then clawed their way back up to prominence. The…

“Dear Diary, When I found out that I was being traded away from Minnesota, a land abandoned by god and beset by the cursed white sand which the ever-tormented locals refer to as “snow”, I fell to my knees and wept. While I have always been fond of my teammates and the fans in Minnesota,…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 12 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2020)
Does it seem like to anybody else that Anthony Tolliver doesn’t age? He’s looked almost exactly the same since he came into the league with the Spurs over a decade ago. His appearance doesn’t change at all except for the random appearance and subsequent disappearance of his facial hair at random intervals. When he did…

Does the Grizzlies’ point guard rotation of Ja Morant, Tyus Jones, and De’Anthony Melton constitute the best point guard rotation in the NBA? I’ve given it a token amount of thought and I believe that the three-headed hydra of Morant/Jones/Melton does in fact constitute the best point guard rotation in the NBA, but I’m in…

This performance by Josh Jackson may be a little light on the buckets side of things, but it’s heavy on the everything else side of things. He got what I term a “scrub-by-five”, which is where a role-player (not even necessarily a scrub) gets at least 2 of all major boxscore stats. It’s like a…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 24 Points Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
Thankfully for my sanity (my grasp on which was already tenuous to begin with), we were recently granted a 9-game reprieve from Dillon Brooks highlights. If that hadn’t happened, I think I would’ve retired and gone to live in a shack in the woods, because Brooks is right back where he left off, putting up…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 22 Points/20 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
Although the title of this video notes that Jonas Valanciunas had twenty rebounds in this game, giving him the third 20/20 game of his career, the rebounds themselves are not actually depicted. Nobody wants to watch rebounds in a highlight video because rebounds are often just something that happens. An average joe off the street…

ESPN has been trying to stir up some debate or whatever by insinuating that Zion Williamson is in the convo for the ROTY of the Year award. I don’t think any reasonable person thinks that he is, but ESPN (and other media outlets of the same ilk) is in the business of driving engagement to…

I really don’t want to believe that the ROTY of the Year race is heating up, but I think it is. In case you’re not aware (and what kind of NBA fan isn’t aware of this), Zion Williamson is beasting it up in New Orleans right now, and I’m not just talking about the 16-piece…
