Jrue Holiday 34 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2017)

If the Pelicans want to be a playoff team, Jrue Holiday has to start playing like he’s part of a big three instead of like there’s a big two and he’s the third, vestigial and useless, wheel. That is my take on the matter. 34 points is a start, but it’s just that: a start….

Darius Miller 15 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)

In a way, the fact that Darius Miller is having a good season for the Pelicans just exposes the Pelicans FO’s inability to construct a sensible roster around Anthony Davis (and now DeMarcus Cousins as well). If the Pelicans could actually sign legit NBA role-players, they wouldn’t need to reach into the bottom of the…

Jrue Holiday 27 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2017)

I’ve lost track of how much money is “a lot” in the NBA these days, what with the wildly inflating cap space that teams have to play with. But 26 million for Jrue Holiday seems like it would qualify. Not only is he getting that this year, but he’s getting that for the next four…

E’Twaun Moore Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2017)

This is now the fourth time E’Twaun Moore has scored 24 points, his career high. No one cared the other three times he did it, so I can be safe in assuming that no one cares now. Sometimes I doubt my subscribers’ dedication to the cause of glorifying role-players. I enjoy Moore’s game. Honestly, and…

Darius Miller Career High 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/13/2017)

Darius Miller makes his long-awaited return to this channel, scoring 21 on 7 of 9 shooting and reminding me simultaneously of both Darius Morris and Quincy Miller. All of a sudden I’m not as excited about this performance anymore. Can we get those two dudes back in the league instead? I’m playin’. I’m actually pretty…

Jrue Holiday 34 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (11/9/2017)

One of the underrated storylines in the NBA here at the beginning of the year is that Justin Holiday is outscoring his way-better-at-basketball brother Jrue Holiday. Underrated as in I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention it. They’ve mentioned that Jrue is kind of sucking and that Justin is kind of chucking, but they haven’t…

Jrue Holiday 29 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (10/28/2017)

Jrue Holiday had a slow start to the season, dropping a sick 4/4 line in 38 minutes in the opening game of the season, but he’s slowly been working his way back to form, and his 29/7 on just seventeen shots is one of the meatiest, most satisfying point guard performances of the nascent NBA…

E’Twaun Moore Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2017)

This is the third time E’Twaun Moore has scored a career-high 24 points. The last two times came in February two seasons ago while he was with the Bulls. Now, everyone knows that the point total that denotes an “actually good game” is 25. That’s the threshold. Any lower than that, and you might have…

E’Twaun Moore 19 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2017)

Since E’Twaun Moore is probably the fourth best player on the Pelicans right now and there will never be a better opportunity to hype him up to the world, I went out and bought a billboard that says “I Want Some More Moore” in big block letters next to a picture of his head and…

Cheick Diallo 19 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2017)

Discount Diallo Cheick! The Malian Mauler! The innumerable question marks that so adorned my perception of his last 19-point performance have been reduced to only a few: ???? ?? ? Unlike last time, all the way back in December, this one we could have seen coming at least a little bit. This is April NBA….
