It’s slight, but am I detecting a tiny bit of improvement from Emmanuel Mudiay? No, no, nevermind. That’s just the residual afterglow of his game-tying shot with two seconds left in double OT messing up my improvement-sensors again. I gotta get those things recalibrated so that clutch moments don’t send them haywire. Still, nice game…

Mario Hezonja 15 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
In the interest of transparency and openness, I must inform you of this stat from Mario Hezonja’s performance tonight before you watch the corresponding highlight video: he went 6-of-18 from the field. But if I wanted to fill my quota of Euros tonight, this had to be one of the vids I made. So I’m…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 23 Points/24 Rebounds/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/5/2018)
We’re going to ignore the stuff that Enes Kanter did that didn’t end up in this video (turnovers, bricks, lack of defense, etc) and just assume that he had a good game tonight. Okay? Everyone cool with that? Because I don’t want to live in a world where a guy puts up 23/24/7 off the…

Read MoreAllonzo Trier 23 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2018)
I was not previously aware of the nickname “Iso Zo” for Allonzo Trier. I like it! Who came up with it? I want to shake their hand and say “you did a good job of creating that nickname”. If I was assigned that task, I would’ve come up with something lame like “Ball-onzo” or “Funk…
Read MoreFrank Ntilikina 16 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
Stephen Curry did us the favor of gracing us with a brand-new, never-heard-before nickname for Frank Ntilikina. It was creative, audacious, topical and relevant. Many other adjectives could be applied successfully to this wonderful new nickname creation. When I first heard it I was eager to start using it in my video descriptions. It spoke…
Read MoreMitchell Robinson 11 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
I bet if you compiled a list of all the starting centers for the Knicks in the last ten years it would be a really funny list. Good names would be on it like Tyson Chandler (unless that was longer than ten years ago, all sense of time has long departed), plus some funny ones…
Read MoreFrank Ntilikina 17 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2018)
This is the kind of game that you can build off of if you’re the Knicks. Sure, they ended up getting blown out in the end (and it will pay off when Durant decides to join them this offseason), but they were close for a big part of the game, and a big part of…
Read MoreDamyean Dotson 20 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2018)
The Knicks scoring only 87 points seems ridiculously bad right now. The league average for points per team per game is around 174 right now, by my calculations (which involved math). 87 is just not good enough. Looking at the boxscore, there were a lot of culprits for the meager offensive output. All the supposedly…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 18 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
Big props to Mario Hezonja tonight for not only scoring 18 points (which is a good amount for him), but for accepting the task of guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo and not getting as obliterated as one would think he would. He couldn’t really stop him, because no one really can, but he did what he could…
