It’s official: Nikola Mirotic regressed HARD when he got traded from the Bulls to the Pelicans. The Pelicans thought they were getting a sharp-shooting stretch four, but what they really got was a guy who can’t even shoot over 40% from the field. Why did he regress so drastically? -The threat of Bobby Portis punching…

Jrue Holiday Triple Double 21 Pts/11 Rebs/11 Asts/2 Blks Full Highlights (3/27/2018)
Jrue Holiday did a lot of great stuff tonight, accumulating enough units for what is commonly known as a “triple-double”, which seems to be some sort of statistical feat. I can’t figure out the exact specifics, but everyone seems to think they’re really good, so I’ll roll with it. But the best part of his…
Read MoreJrue Holiday 26 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/22/2018)
Jrue Holiday is coming off of games of seven and ten points. Every time I ask myself “why do I continue to make Jrue Holiday highlight videos even when he is clearly far too good of a player to appear on my channel,” it seems like he telepathically hears my question and re-solidifies his spot…
Read MoreE’Twaun Moore 23 Points Full Highlights (3/21/2018)
E’Twaun Moore is basically the third banana in New Orleans now that DeMarcus Cousins’s head got exploded because his headband was too tight. On the list of all third bananas in the league, maybe he’d rate somewhere in the middle? Not as good as Klay Thompson, but way better than whatever scrublord is third banana…
Read MoreIan Clark 19 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
Ian “The Clarksman” Clark did me a favor by having a good scoring game immediately after I conceived of his new moniker. Now I look like a genius for coming up with a nickname that praises his shooting ability. For now, just pretend that this video isn’t nothing but floaters, and also pretend that floaters…
Read MoreIan Clark 16 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2018)
The minimal amount of attention that Ian Clark got while he was on the Warriors has faded completely away, leaving Clark to be nothing but an ignored sharpshooter on a good, but not great, playoff team. From bandwagon fans pretending they knew who he was to nobody even pretending to care because they don’t know…
Read MoreEmeka Okafor 14 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2018)
Emeka Okafor had a goal in this game: to prove that he should’ve been the number one overall pick back in 2004. That he is better than Dwight Howard. It didn’t really work, because Dwight had a big game and Okafor only got 14 (still a season high tho) but he was being super aggressive,…
Read MoreJrue Holiday 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/13/2018)
Everybody, including myself, has been ragging on the Pelicans for a long time for not getting enough help for Anthony Davis. That narrative changed slightly when they made the blockbuster deal for DeMarcus Cousins (RIP in peace), but it was still prevalent, and I still believed it. Even now I think that the Pelicans haven’t…
Read MoreCheick Diallo 14 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/9/2018)
Cheick “Discount Diallo Cheick” is averaging 16/12 per 36 minutes. Per-36 stats are the best kind of stats because it lets you see how a bench player would fare as a starter with no catches or gotchas. What could be more clear-cut than per-36 stats? You play Diallo 36 minutes, you get sixteen points out…
Read MoreDarius Miller 20 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2018)
This Pelicans loss to the Wizards should serve as a wake-up call to Anthony Davis: if you want your team to win, you have to play in the games. Otherwise you’re going to get blown out by middling playoff teams. Sprained ankles are just an excuse. There are no excuses when it comes to wanting…
