Can Shabazz Napier, you know, like chill out for a bit? Just for one game, then he can go back to scoring 20 all the time. Players like him going off unexpectedly (though it’s starting to become expectedly, at this point) are what I live for, I know, and I’m super hyped that he’s playing…

Gorgui Dieng 22 Points/6 Assists/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/5/2020)
“Dear diary, Recently, a large quantity of the cursed white sand has been deposited onto this land of Minnesota which is forsaken by god. Thankfully, the prophets and soothsayers employed by the local television stations under the title of “weatherman” were accurate in their auguries, and I was able to plan in advance of these…
Read MoreRobert Covington 20 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
If you listen to the commentary of this video (and I don’t blame you if you leave it muted by default, since it is often insufferable), you’ll notice the Timberwolves commentary crew waxing romantic about Robert Covington, and how it’s great that he was somewhat of a focal point for the offense in this game….
Read MoreShabazz Napier 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
Shabazz Napier scoring 20 or more in three straight games after being booty for the whole season prior is really fun and exciting, but you know what would be even more fun and exciting? A lot of things, but the one I’m thinking of is if it was Shabazz Muhammad was scoring 20 or more…
Read MoreNaz Reid 13 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
I haven’t seen a whole lot of him (no one has, unless you’re on of those perverts who actually watches G-League games), but from what I can tell, Naz Reid is basically the same caliber of scorer as Karl-Anthony Towns. Maybe slightly worse, but that’s because he’s a rookie playing in the fifth game of…
Read MoreJaylen Nowell 12 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2020)
The Timberwolves are really getting some use out of their end-of-bench players, much to my (and your, presumably) delight. First it was Kelan Martin, then Jordan McLaughlin, then Naz Reid, and now, Jaylen Nowell. I’ve gotten to make a vid for all of them now, and I’ve had a smile on my face the entire…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 22 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2020)
The Timberwolves used a balanced scoring attack consisting entirely of role-players and scrubs, with the only real outlier being Shabazz Napier with 22 (the points being the outlier, not the role-player status), to narrowly lose to the Bucks by 2. Sometimes I don’t really like having to make vids for other teams while the Bucks…
Read MoreNaz Reid 13 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2019)
I’m pretty sure Naz Reid thought that this was a G-League game (with a suspiciously big crowd), because the 16 shots he attempted tonight is an amount more in line with what he’s been doing with the Iowa Wolves than anything he should be doing in the real-life NBA. This may sound contradictory or hypocritical,…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 24 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2019)
Timberwolves fans may not believe this, but Shabazz Napier was good, once upon a time. He was legitimately good in his last season with Portland (the only place he stayed for more than one year), and was kinda okay in Brooklyn. And that stint with Brooklyn was just last year! He has a recent history…
Read MoreJarrett Culver 21 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2019)
Thanks to the all-around suckiness of most of the top picks in this year’s draft, Jarrett Culver has mostly evaded criticism for his own suckiness. Other years, a guy picked 6th overall who was doing as poorly as Culver is would get mercilessly skewered by all sorts of national media outlets. Even NPR would get…
