Mason Plumlee couldn’t contain Jusuf Nurkic. Nikola Jokic couldn’t contain Jusuf Nurkic. Jusuf Nurkic could barely contain Jusuf Nurkic. Jusuf Nurkic was, at points in this game, a completely unstoppable out-of-control force of rebound and flailing post move. I hate to compare them again, but Jokic plays the game in a very measured way. He’s…

Evan Turner 18 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
While the 76ers are finally doing good with their young core, let us not forget that Evan Turner was supposed to be part of that core. I’m stretching things a little bit, because he was drafted in 2010, and the intervening years would’ve been a long time to keep him around, but they didn’t draft…
Read MoreWade Baldwin 14 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2018)
Bojan Bogdanovic just got done handing Kevin Durant’s nuts to him on a silver platter, but this one is even better: Wade Baldwin the Fourth pretty much made James Harden the Zeroth into an injured butt-baby. I actually almost felt sort of bad for Harden, because of how bad he was getting devastated, but then…
Read MoreZach Collins 15 Points/4 Assists/3 Dunks Full Highlights (3/30/2018)
I am currently writing this description from the safety and comfort of a completely dark closet. I took my wireless keyboard and mouse with me, but no monitors, because there can be no light in here. Not while I am so distraught. Not while I am so vulnerable. Reality seems like a very bleak place…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 21 Points/4 Blocks/4 Dunks Full Highlights (3/30/2018)
Everybody hypes up these Bosniak vs. Serb/Croat vs. Serb/Any Balkan dude vs. another Balkan dude battles but I didn’t see anybody getting hyped for the Jusuf “Nurk Jowitzki” Nurkic vs. Boban Marjanovic battle that went down last night. Maybe I need to spend some more time on those weird forums and news sites where the…
Read MoreWade Baldwin 15 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2018)
Wade Baldwin went very quickly from first-round pick with potential to out of the league. The Grizzlies drafted him 17th overall last year (in case you’re wondering who the 17th overall was this year so you can make comparisons, it was D.J. Wilson… DAMMIT), played him decent minutes to start the season, but he didn’t…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 21 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/27/2018)
Jusuf Nurkic status: playoffs. Nikola Jokic status: not playoffs. Whoa. Does this mean anything? I am tempted to say it does, because I know the audience for this video will include a portion of Nurkic-only fans, but I don’t think it does. At most, it says that Nurkic has Damian Lillard on his team and…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 21 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
I’ve ragged heavily on Jusuf Nurkic in the past for being out-of-control with his scoring moves and for taking ill-advised shots. I’m not going to backtrack and say that he wasn’t doing those things in past games, because he definitely was, but I will acknowledge that Nurkic was under control and composed in this game,…
Read MoreAl-Farouq Aminu 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
Al-Farouq Aminu looks slightly less like a hobo now that he’s got hair constrained in braids of some kind, but he still mostly looks like a disheveled hobo who could have drunkenly stumbled into the arena and procured from the gift shop a jersey with his name blazoned across the back. Maybe security tried to…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 27 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/12/2018)
As is often the case with Jusuf Nurkic’s high-scoring performances, this one features a lot of wild shots at the rim which happen to go in. Does he even bother locating the rim before throwing the ball up in its general vicinity? This video also features a lot of ragdoll physics as he uses his…
