Al-Farouq Aminu 20 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2018)

It’s a good thing that commentators told us all about it, or I would never have noticed that this is the first time in Al-Farouq Aminu’s illustrious career that he has had back-to-back games of 20 points or more. I definitely realized that he had the back-to-back 20-burgers, duh, because I made highlights of both…

Al-Farouq Aminu 20 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)

After a problematic 1-of-13 shooting performance a week ago (which featured nine missed three-pointers and zero made three pointers), Aminu continued to struggle shooting the rock, but that all ended last night as he went 7-of-9 from the field for twenty points. Rather than shoot a ton of threes, Aminu scored his points on “creative”…

Nik Stauskas 18 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/28/2018)

The commentators asked a good question during this video: how much sauce is too much? This question can refer to a lot of things, so I will do my best to address some common sauce situations. -Buffalo wings. There’s too much sauce if the sauce is dripping off the wing. My philosophy is, at a…

Jusuf Nurkic 22 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)

I’m having flashbacks to a game last year where the Damian Lillard/Jusuf Nurkic pick-and-roll was as unstoppable as it was tonight. Was that game also against the Warriors? Are the Warriors especially susceptible to pick-and-rolls? It’s all so hazy. I can remember clearly the games where Nurkic was used as a Jokic-esque elbow passer (no,…

Meyers Leonard 15 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2018)

Meyers “50-40-90” Leonard is living up to his nickname again this year. Except this year it’s more like “50-50-100”. Yeah, you read that right nerds. Leonard is shooting 52 percent from the field, 52 percent from three, and a perfect 100 percent from the line. I was wondering why Zach Collins was losing minutes to…

Al-Farouq Aminu 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/14/2018)

This video was ruined (RUINED I SAY) by the fact that the commentators never really wanted to talk about Al-Farouq Aminu. And by the fact that seven of his points were scored in what I would consider to be “The Time of Garbage”. But back to the commentary. These ESPN talking heads were too busy…

Meyers Leonard 15 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2018)

I would like to share with you a statistical tidbit that has been making the rounds on social media lately: Meyers “Seven-Foot-One” Leonard’s last blocked shot came in the 2016-17 season. He played all of last year and so far all of this year without rejecting a single field goal attempt. You’d think that, eventually,…

Jusuf Nurkic 20 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2018)

Okay, here’s the deal: I know I teased at the beginnings of a new storyline where Jusuf Nurkic and Meyers Leonard team up to prevent Zach Collins from stealing their minutes, but I just really don’t feel like writing any more words right now, so that series of descriptions is on hold for at least…

Jusuf Nurkic 22 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2018)

“Hello friend Meyers.” Looking up from his phone, Meyers Leonard regarded his teammate Jusuf Nurkic with narrowed, suspicious eyes. “Hey Nurk.” “I wanting to talk to you about minutes situation,” Jusuf said, knowing that this question would almost certainly provoke an emotional response from Meyers. “What’s there to talk about?” Meyers asked. “There’s not enough…

Zach Collins 17 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)

While compiling this highlights package, I noticed some serious budding chemistry between Nik Stauskas (giving) and Zach Collins (receiving). Blazers fans would probably want chemistry between more important players, like more McCollum/Lillard chemistry or Evan Turner chemistry with something other than bricks. But this is still good. Stauskas gets to continue building a reputation as…
