When I saw that Mikal Bridges made a three-pointer near the end of this game with just a second left on the clock, my first thought was: is that Suns commentator who isn’t Eddie Johnson going to have time to tell us that Bridges is proud to own the three-point zone and that Fulton Homes…

Deandre Ayton 33 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2018)
The comparisons are inevitable, so here we go: during Deandre Ayton’s 24-point second quarter, I was reminded strongly of a certain mega-fornicator who also scored 100 points in a single game. Maybe you’ve heard of him. Wilt Chamberlain. Nike destroyed most of the footage of his playing days because of how embarrassed it made LeBron…

If Deandre Ayton wants to win ROY of the Year, he has to start building his narrative NOW, to compete with Luka Doncic’s already mature and fully-formed narrative. It’s tough for voters to give the award to the guy averaging fewer points on the worse team. Really tough. But it’s possible, and the way forward…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 20 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2018)
Kelly Oubre sat in his locker, not moving, just staring intensely at the handmade doll which he held in his hands. “Yo Kelly, playing with dolls?” came the joking voice of Devin Booker. Kelly looked up and gave his new Suns teammate a harsh glare. “It might indeed by a doll, Devin, but I am…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 28 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2018)
You know, for a triple-overtime game, 28 points is kinda low for T.J. “Warren Peace” Warren. Same with Devin Booker, actually. Only 33? He should’ve had 80. And Warren should’ve had 40. The Suns might have won this game if those two played up to their scoring potential. Instead, the got beat out in the…
Read MoreDeandre Ayton 26 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2018)
New rule: for every overtime period played, all players, not just the ones who get in the game or are on the court at the start of the period, but truly all players, get one extra foul to use. The 6-foul limit was designed for 48-minute games; it only makes sense to increase the limit…
Read MoreDeandre Ayton 23 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2018)
The Suns are winning games. This is, by itself, not that surprising. They have some talented players and they did, after all, come in to the season with playoff aspirations (LMAO). Four victories in a row, capped by a surprisingly decisive road win over the “favorite” to go to the “Finals” out of the “Eastern…
Read MoreDeandre Ayton 21 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
Pictured in the thumbnail: Deandre Ayton smiling for the first time all season. Things have been pretty grim over in Phoenix this season. NBA players don’t like to lose, and the Suns have been doing almost nothing but since opening night (a night where they actually won, what are the odds?). Did I catch wind…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 26 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
One thing I’ve noticed while doing all these T.J. Warren highlights is that it really sucks that he’s hitting threes this year because we have to sit through that whole “Fulton Homes” monologue every time. It’s great that he’s taking a bunch of threes and making an elite percentage of them, but it’s becoming clear…
Read MoreJamal Crawford 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/13/2018)
The title of “Preeminent Purveyor of NBA Highlights” confers with it certain responsibilities. One of those responsibilities is to make sure that viewers of my videos don’t come away with mistaken impressions of players. The nature of highlights is, of course, to show highlights of the player in question. It is not meant to be…
