Nikola Mirotic 25 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2018)

Nikola Mirotic’s blazing start is officially over. Games of 30 and 36 were followed by games of 18 and 10. Still a decent average, but not as decent as his average after two. It was fun while it lasted. We will never forget the night he helped the Pelicans almost drop a 150-burger in regulation….

Nikola Mirotic Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2018)

It is official: DeMarcus Cousins makes every team he touches way worse because he utterly fails to play anything resembling winning basketball. This fact was official before, because anyone with eyes can see that that was the case, but it’s even officialer now. Now that his replacement Nikola Mirotic has contributed 36 efficient points to…

E’Twaun Moore 21 Points Full Highlights (10/17/2018)

It’s rare for a marginal player who has bounced around as much E’Twaun Moore has to turn into a legit starter on a playoff team. But that’s what he’s done. No one watching him in Boston his rookie year thought “that guy will play a meaningful role on a good team”. Him improving so much…

Elfrid Payton Triple Double 10 Pts/10 Asts/10 Rebs Pelicans Debut Full Highlights (10/17/2018)

Elfrid Payton has taken the early lead in the 2018-19 triple-double race, notching one (1) triple-double in his Pelicans debut while the rest of the league’s players have a collective zero (0) triple-doubles. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, his triple-double is statistically the worst possible triple-double it is possible to achieve. There’s not really such…

Julius Randle 25 Points Pelicans Debut Full Highlights (10/17/2018)

I’m still stuck in the mindset of “Julius Randle isn’t actually that good”. It’s partly because of his lumpy ugly face which I want to punch, partly because he used to not actually be that good, and partly because I never think any Lakers-drafted player is any good. When the Pelicans signed him, I immediately…

Nikola Mirotic 30 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (10/17/2018)

A whole offseason of speculation about whether the Pelicans would be any good without Rajon Rondo (seriously when did the narrative change on that dude because I missed it) looks a whole lot stupider with this decisive opening-night victory over the Rockets. Yes, I know it’s only 1 game. But my eyes tell me a…

Jrue Holiday Triple Double 27 Pts/11 Asts/10 Rebs Full Highlights (5/8/2018)

I was actually getting significantly hyped when the Pelicans went on an 18-2 run in the waning minutes of the game to cut the Warriors’ lead to seven. Even reliving it while making this highlight video caused by BHL (Blood Hype Level) to elevate. I would have loved nothing more than to see an arena…

E’Twaun Moore 20 Points Full Highlights (5/6/2018)

Big shout out to E’Twaun Moore for being the Pelican’s third-best scorer in this series. That stat may sound surprising, but when taking an honest look at the Cousins-less Pelicans roster, it’s not even that weird. Moore is (as you should know if you’ve been watching my vids of him) surprisingly good this year. The…

Ian Clark 18 Points Full Highlights (5/4/2018)

I will never forget, as long as my corporeal form remains heaving on this cursed planet, the time Ian Clark kicked the Bucks’ ass in Summer League. This was way before he was any good, he was coming off a season with 26 made shots on uninspiring percentages, and then he just comes in and…

Jrue Holiday 25 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (5/1/2018)

What needs to happen in this series is that Jrue Holiday needs to lock down Stephen Curry just like he locked down Damian Lillard in the first round. It has been alleged by myself and others that DTB doesn’t care about defense, and that is still true, however, that doesn’t mean that DTB is unable…
