The Magic, thanks in large part to Jonathan Isaac, are one of the very few teams who have a defensive identity. Which SUCKS. Back in the old days, a decade ago or more, there were plenty of teams who hung their hat on their defensive ability. And it sucked. Those days sucked and are not…

Terrence Ross 23 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2019)
I had this penciled in as at least a 40-point win for the Bucks. AT LEAST. I was all set to enjoy a nice stress-free game of primo Bucks basketball, I had a comfy seat, I had my food, I had my drinks, I had my little kitty Japurri Purrker looking up at me and…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 21 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2019)
I shouldn’t have said all those mean things about Terrence Ross in the last video description for him. He has well and truly put me in my place. He has “sat me down” so to speak. With two twenty-point games in a row and his slump perhaps coming to an end, the furious pen of…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 22 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
The vision, however faint, of Terrence Ross ever winning a 6MOTY of the Year award is vanishing before my eyes like a tempting desert oasis that turns out to be nothing but a mirage. His chance to win it was last season. Just a few more PPG’s and he would have been right there in…
Read MoreD.J. Augustin 24 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
I don’t think a lot of people realized it, but D.J. Augustin was one of the Magic’s best players last year. He was right there behind Nikola Vucevic (who was clearly the best). Evan Fournier, Aaron Gordon? Maybe they were flashier scoring the ball, but Augustin was the savvy vet point guard that the team…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz Career High 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/3/2019)
It has taken 53 games (wow, not that many) spread out over three seasons (a fairly long time) for Markelle Fultz to score 20 points in an officially-sanctioned regular-season NBA game. An informed observer would’ve noted that it was only a matter of time; prior to tonight, Fultz had had (had had had) eight consecutive…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz 14 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/1/2019)
If we just ignored Markelle Fultz’s first two years in the league, just pretended they didn’t happen at all and agreed to say that this was his first season out of college as the number one overall pick, I would say that he’s been pretty decent for a rookie. Averaging 11 points on around 50…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz 15 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
I have had enough success with Markelle Fultz videos on my channel that I’m seriously considering the possibility of creating a spin-off channel to focus solely on Fultz, tentatively monikered “DownToFultz”. On this theoretical new channel, there would be nothing standing in the way of Fultz-obsessed viewers and 100% nonstop in-depth Fultz coverage. Among my…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz 15 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
Out of the 32 highlight videos I made for the games that occurred on November 27th, this one should have been, like, fifth or six to be made. Not 32nd. I’m not sure what I was thinking with waiting so long for this one, but what’s done is done and I can’t go back to…
Read MoreMo Bamba 15 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
Yeah, you’re doing the math right. 15 points with 5 threes means that all of Mo Bamba’s points came from outside the arc tonight. The question we have to ask ourselves is this: how stretchy is too stretchy for a young big? Obviously, it’s good for a 7-footer to be able to shoot threes. There’s…
