Malik Beasley has been such a relentless scorer for his entire (short) tenure with the Timberwolves that my opinion of him is starting to subtly shift. When he was on the Nuggets, I was like “he’s a medium-volume three-point shooting role-player who can also dunk”. Then, when he got to the Timberwolves and saw immediate…

James Johnson 19 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2020)
“Hey! Hey! KAT! Wait up!” James Johnson, jogging after his teammate as they exited the team plane, was gratified to see Karl-Anthony Towns slow down and turn around. “What’s up?” “You’ve been in Minnesota longer than anybody else. Do you know anything about…casserole?” Karl-Anthony immediately furrowed his brows in response to this query, which James…
Read MoreMalik Beasley 21 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2020)
Malik Beasley is averaging over 20 PPG per game over his first six games with the Timberpuppies. In fact, by scoring just 21 in this game, his average got lower, since he was averaging 22 PPG per game through his first five games. In any case, the shooting numbers he’s putting up to start his…
Read MoreJordan McLaughlin 15 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (2/23/2020)
The last time Jordan McLaughlin reached double-digit assists was just a couple weeks ago against the Clippers. Remember, that was the game where McLaughlin scored 24 points and also made KaWhine LeoNerd into his personal bitchslave for life. Now, I admit to thinking after that game, “Double-digit dimes is cool, but when you’re playing with…
Read MoreKelan Martin 21 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2020)
When Kelan Martin had nineteen points in the first half of this game, I was fully convinced that all observers were witnessing the rebirth of another K-Mart on the Timberwolves. I refer, of course, to Timberwolves legend Kevin Martin, who I think scored twenty PPG per game one season for the Wolves. Nobody even remembers…
Read MoreJuan Hernangomez 17 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2020)
Right now, Juan Hernangomez is averaging 15.5 PPG per game in his 4-game stint with the Timberwolves, which is higher than ANY individual game he had with the Nuggets this season. He is being unleashed right before our eyes, this is what we’ve all been waiting for. Paul Millsap cannot hold him down anymore. The…
Read MoreNaz Reid 19 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2020)
Naz “Big Nazty” Reid, with his medium-length dreadlocks, is encountering the same problem that every NBA player with that hairstyle faces at some point: The damn hair-doodles don’t stay in their restraints. We all saw this with DeMarre Carroll. We all saw it with Taurean Prince. We all saw it with Marquis Daniels. And now…
Read MoreMalik Beasley 27 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2020)
Seeing Malik Beasley do well in a Timberwolves uniform is really fun and awesome, and I’m so happy that he’s not getting held down by Paul Millsap in Denver anymore, but when I see “Beasley” in the boxscore, all I can think about is how sweet it was when Michael Beasley was scoring 20 a…
Read MoreJuan Hernangomez 16 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
Normally I have a policy where if a player has a bad game, they don’t get a highlight video. That seems like a totally normal policy for a highlight-maker to have, right? Well, I went against it to make this video, simply because of how hyped I am that Juan Hernangomez is getting unleashed in…
Read MoreMalik Beasley 28 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
Whenever a player takes an unexpected fall from hanging on the rim, as Malik Beasley does at the beginning of this video, I have violent flashbacks to Andrew Bogut getting Boguted by Amar’e Stoudemire. I can still hear Bogut’s screams in my ears. I can still see visions of Bogut’s dangling arm, the crucial bone…
