Duncan Robinson 26 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (10/9/2020)

Duncan Robinson has proven himself in these playoffs enough times that I think the time has come for another nickname reassignment ritual. I say that like the nickname reassignment ritual hasn’t already happened, but it totally has. I just performed it last night. For the ignoramuses out there, basically what I do for this ritual…

Tyler Herro 21 Points Full Highlights (10/6/2020)

Adam Silver, right at this very moment, is looking at printed-out reports of the TV ratings for the NBA Finals, shaking his head stoically before letting out a dramatic wail, flailing his arms everywhere like a toddler, knocking all the important paperwork off his desk, and beating his desk with his fists while screaming “WHY…

Kelly Olynyk 17 Points Full Highlights (10/4/2020)

Kelly Olynyk has now played well in two consecutive games. That is the official threshold for being able to call him “The Klynyk”, so I can type that nickname without being forced by the Internet Police to redact it with a thick black censor bar. Previously, the only applicable nickname for my man Kelly O…

Kelly Olynyk 24 Points Full Highlights (10/2/2020)

With Bam Adebayo out for this game, the Heat had two options: start Kelly Olynyk, or start Meyers Leonard. There was also a bonus third option, which was to start Udonis Haslem, and also an extra-bonus fourth option, which was to forgo their right to replace Adebayo in the lineup and begin the game with…

Kendrick Nunn 18 Points Full Highlights (9/31/2020)

Kendrick Nunn had gone from averaging 15 PPG per game in the regular season to averaging 3 PPG (now up to 5 thanks to this performance) per game in the ‘offs. The clear and obvious culprit for the dropoff in his quality of play: COVID. He did recover in time to play a bit in…

Tyler Herro 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (9/27/2020)

After Tyler Herro’s 37-point game in game four of this series, the worst thing ever happened: Casual fans became aware of Tyler Herro. We’re not talking about the type of “casual fan” who posts nonsensical “hot takes” on Instagram and Twitter and YouTube. Those fans obviously deserve disdain (as do all fans who fail to…

Andre Iguodala 15 Points Full Highlights (9/27/2020)

In the five games of this series before tonight’s game, Andre Iguodala (or, as I have taken to calling him, Andretirementhome IguOLDala) had scored a combined total of eight points on 3-of-13 shooting. His scoring output in the series against Indiana and Milwaukee was marginally higher, but this game still represents the first double-digit scoring…

Duncan Robinson 20 Points Full Highlights (9/25/2020)

I was under the impression that Duncan Robinson had attempted zero two-point field goals in the series prior to this game against the Celtics. That information was incorrect to an extreme degree: he actually had attempted ONE two-point field goal in the series (a decreased from their first-round series, where he shot five, and their…

Tyler Herro Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (9/23/2020)

In the darkness of the uncomfortably warm, intolerably humid Florida night, beside one of the resort complex’s many outdoor swimming pools, a tall man reclined on a pool chair. The sunglasses he wore on his face were superfluous, given the general dimness of the moonlight, and the fact that he was fully clothed made it…

Tyler Herro 22 Points Full Highlights (9/19/2020)

It’s a strange situation when a team so good that it has a high chance of making the finals has as its best swaggy shot creator a babyfaced sixth-man rookie. Not like having a babyface has any bearing on how good a player is at creating swaggy shots. The rookie part is the important part….
