If my memory serves me correctly, this is not as scintillating of a performance as the last time Dragan Bender scored 23, back in early 2018. I seem to remember a turnaround middy jumper, possibly multiple, a bunch of other impressive buckets and a general sense of “this is it, he’s finally breaking out”. You’re…

Dario Saric 24 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2020)
Remember how there was that “Banana Boat” squad that everybody was secretly (and not-so-secretly) hoping would team up in real life to form a superteam? If my memory serves me correctly, the Banana Boat squad was LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony. They were photographed riding on a giant inflatable banana once,…
Read MoreMikal Bridges 21 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
Mikal Bridges played almost 43 minutes in this one. I, as a Bucks fan, am not saying that in a butthurt attempt to make his point total look worse. I’m just noting that in order to illustrate the fact that the Suns’ coaching staff likes him enough to play him almost an entire game like…
Read MoreAron Baynes 24 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
Despite the Bucks’ incredibly bad start, they still could’ve won this game if Aron “All of Australia” Baynes simply did not exist at all. A universe without Baynes would be significantly worse (for example, we wouldn’t have Tommy Heinsohn’s immortal quote about Baynes in the SHOWAH), but as of right now, it would be a…
Read MoreMikal Bridges 18 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
Don’t look now (actually do look now, I want people to watch this vid), but Mikal Bridges has turned himself into a totally reasonable role-playing starter in the NBA! Aren’t you excited? Why aren’t you excited? Ignore the fact that I, lover of all things role-player and scrub, am not excited at all. That’s my…
Read MoreDario Saric 24 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
Dario “Croat of All Time” Saric had his season-high in points tonight with 24 (eclipsing the 23 he scored earlier in the season, but not eclipsing the 32 he scored his rookie season). However, Aron Baynes totally outshone Saric by scoring 37 points. That’s an amount of points that makes it hard to focus on…
Read MoreAron Baynes Career High 37 Points/9 Threes Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
When Aron Baynes first opened his eyes, the bright light assaulting them made it hard to do anything more than squint. But what he saw through those squinted eyelids made him think that he had been transported to an Australian beach; there was cloudy sky above him, a sandy-colored material below him, and what looked…
Read MoreDario Saric 16 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2020)
“Dear Diary, I wish Dario Saric had stayed injured forever. Every time my hand is forced and I have to give minutes to that loser, I get a splitting migraine. His mere existence fills me with pure, seething hatred. Why can’t Frank Kaminsky be the healthy one instead of Dario? Luckily, I still have enough…
Read MoreCameron Johnson 21 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2020)
Cameron “Caveman Devin Booker” Johnson has had a pretty nice rookie campaign overall. He’s right around the quality of play that you want your 11th-overall pick to be at. His three-point shooting is right around 40% and he’s had some good dunks too. And now, on his 24th birthday, he’s gone and added “twenty-point game”…
Read MoreMikal Bridges 18 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2020)
It is indicative of the level of trauma that I have endured at the hands of the Suns commentators that I still cringe whenever one of their players makes a three, bracing myself for the “Proud to own the three-point zone, Fulton Homes donates one-hundred dollars to Suns charities.” that used to be omnipresent. Even…
