Beef status: officially beefed to the MAX between T.J. McConnell and DeMar DeRozan. We are talking ultimate beefage being beefed right now between these two superstar guards. I don’t know what the ultimate source of the beef is or was, but I do know that these guys are living the beefy life and relishing every…

Ben Simmons 19 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/5/2018)
Q: Would Ben Simmons have recorded a 30/15 game if he had played in the second half of the third quarter and at any point during the fourth quarter? A: It is not our place as humans to predict the future, but all signs point to “yes”. I’m going to go out and say it:…
Read MoreBen Simmons 26 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
Ben Simmons’ candidacy for ROY of the Year has taken a hit due to the electrifying play of one Donovan Mitchell. It seemed like such a sure thing early in the year, but I guess that’s why they play the whole season with all its ebbs and flows. Simmons’ lack of a jumper is starting…
Read MoreBen Simmons 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/31/2017)
Ben Simmons needs to get back to regularly having 10 assist games/triple-doubles if he wants to guarantee his ROTY of the year trophy. As proven last year with the MVP voting, voters are easily swayed by arbitrary statistical accolades. 10-assist games and triple-doubles are simply compelling in a way that averaging a flat 20/3/3 isn’t….
Read MoreDario Saric 27 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2017)
Is there any particular reason why the 76ers commentators call Dario Saric “The Homie”? Because if it were me commentating these games (which would be such a bad idea but whatever), I would use that nickname for Richaun Holmes instead, and I’d spell it “The Holmie”. There must be some explanation or rationale that I’m…
Read MoreDario Saric 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2017)
Dario Saric actually went 6-of-15 from the field in this game, which isn’t that good, but his budget LeBron statline (20/9/6) looked good enough that I made the highlight video anyway. Lately I’ve been punishing players who score lots of points but do so in an inefficient manner by not making vids for them. Like…
Read MoreDario Saric 25 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2017)
What is the definition of a “shooting clinic?” Does the term even have a definition or is more like a nebulous concept that can’t be defined? Does going 10/12 from the field on almost entirely jumpers count as a “shooting clinic”? Because if it does, Dario Saric just put on a shooting clinic and every…
Read MoreJ.J. Redick 24 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2017)
J.J. Redick is currently averaging a career high in points at 16.8 PPG. He’s also averaging a career high in minutes – it’s only the third time in his career where he’s been a 30-MPG player. I guess I don’t really have a point here, just bringing to light some interesting statistics in the context…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 15 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2017)
Sometimes I wonder how good T.J. McConnell would be if he had his own team. And not just any team; this team, the Philadelphia 76ers, everything the same except with Ben Simmons not anywhere in the picture. When I think about these things, I usually come up with the same conclusion: “really good”. Remember, he’s…
Read MoreBen Simmons 20 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2017)
The quality of my life is significantly improved if I get to make a Ben Simmons highlight video but it doesn’t have to contain his assists. It just frees up so much time for me to do other things if Simmons, instead of getting eight or ten or twelve assists, gets a paltry amount like…
