Nikola Mirotic 26 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2018)

The way these Pelicans commentators were talking, it seems like they didn’t like Nikola Mirotic’s shot-selection the last few games. Huh. Let’s just get one thing straight here: shot-selection is a term made up by crappy offensive players to try and shame good offensive players into shooting the ball less. You think Kobe Bryant would…

Cheick Diallo 13 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

Cheick “Discount Diallo Cheick” Diallo had one of the most anomalous early-career performances that I can remember when he scored nineteen points in his third NBA game. The highlight video depicting the feat is gone now (keep praying for my channel to return and eventually Jesus will hear you), but the memory of it lives…

Jrue Holiday 30 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

The Pelicans seem to be clicking with their reduced core of Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday. Now that DeMarcus Lousins (I replaced the C with an L because he’s holding this L) and his 32% usage rate aren’t taking up a third of the team’s possession with ill-advised iso postups, Jrue can operate like he…

Nikola Mirotic 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/4/2018)

It took a little while, but I think the Pelicans are figuring out how to win without DeMarcus “Ewing Theory” Cousins. I wish I could say that the reason for that is because Nikola Mirotic has stepped and directly replaced, stat-for-stat, all of Cousins’ production. Wouldn’t that be the sweetest thing ever? Mirotic has definitely…

Emeka Okafor 14 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2018)

It has been 5 years since my last (and only, until now) Emeka Okafor highlight video. 5 years and 13 days. That video is deleted now, but for a long time it was basically the only Emeka highlight package residing on the YouTube servers. I’m gonna go watch it right now (luckily I’ve got all…

Jrue Holiday 36 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2018)

While watching this game live, it seemed like the Bucks couldn’t stop Jrue Holiday at all. Like he was scoring every time he touched the ball. That was partially the case, but I had no idea until I looked at the boxscore that he had taken 31 shots (and 2 free throws, can’t forget about…

Jrue Holiday 29 Points/9 Assists/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (2/23/2018)

Once again I am faced with the question: what is the true meaning of the word “Game-Winner”? If we take the term at face value, a game-winner is a shot that wins the game for the team of the player that made the shot. A game-winner could occur two minutes before the end of the…

Ian Clark 21 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2018)

Ian Clark utterly failed to capitalize on his bananas 19-point first half tonight. For some reason I was feeling pessimistic while his total in the boxscore kept inching upwards, like I knew this was going to happen. Well, it has, and 21 points isn’t even that exciting. He even had a whole overtime and wasted…

Jrue Holiday 24 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (2/14/2018)

Nobody even talks about Jrue Holiday when they’re talking about All-Star snubs. Given the “stacked” nature of the point guard position in the Western conference, it wasn’t even a snub; he’s fringe All-Star caliber, but there’s no way for him to make it in the West unless multiple dudes were to get injured. He should…

Darius Miller 19 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)

You probably don’t realize it, but the Pelicans currently have on their roster two of the top ten three-point shooters in the NBA by percentage. They have E’Twaun Moore, who’s been quiet lately but is still shooting 43.3% from three (sixth on the list), and they have Darius Miller shooting an even 43.0% from three…
