Gary Trent 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/6/2020)

The more I think about it, the more conclusively I conclude that my previous comparison of Gary Trent to Tony Snell is basically the most accurate and genius comparison ever made by an NBA journalist. Ever. Just look at how accurate it is: -Both of them are good, but low-volume three-point shooters -Both of them…

Trevor Ariza 21 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2020)

In three games with the Trailblazers, Trevor Ariza has a 7-point game that no one saw or cared about, and two 21-point games performed in front of a national TV audience. Which means there are a TON of ultra-casual NBA fans out there who know way more than they ever thought they would about him,…

Gary Trent 20 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2020)

Gary Trent seems to be following in the nigh-unfollowable footsteps of the late great Tony Snell (who is neither late nor great, but it sounds cool so I’m leaving it) when it comes to filling up the boxscore with stats, or, should I say, filling the boxscore up with zeros. In this game, Trent had…

Trevor Ariza 21 Points Trailblazers Debut Full Highlights (1/23/2020)

In 32 games for the Kings this year, the highest amount of points Trevor Ariza had was 18. In 1 game for the Blazers this year, the highest amount of points Trevor Ariza had was 21. I feel like the same sort of thing happened last year. The Suns signed him to a big deal…

Gary Trent Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2020)

Things have been going really wrong for the Trailblazers all year. A few things have gone right (signing Carmelo Anthony actually worked out, kinda), but lately, the pace of wrong things has only quickened. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had to play the last 10 games of the season with only…

Anthony Tolliver 16 Points/1 Quarter Full Highlights (1/13/2020)

As recently as two years ago, Anthony “The Tollbooth” Tolliver was a really solid role-player for Detroit. He was hitting tons of threes at a 43 percent clip, making him one of the most efficient players in the league that season. He played the most minutes of his career. His best year as a pro?…

Anfernee Simons 19 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/5/2020)

19 points may not sound like much compared to what we saw him do in the final game of last season, but make no mistake: this performance by Anfernee Simons is a real banger. Normally I’m no big fan of excessive replays, but this video is plastered with them. These buckets demanded replays. I’m imagining…

Enes Kanter 24 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)

https://youtu.be/XBOjC0vJoCQ 24 minutes, 24 points for Enes Kanter in this game. Plus 12 rebounds, 8 offensive. A nice, even set of statisticles for “Mr. Rebounds” (as Warriors color commentator Kelenna Azubuike called him, I would never use such a lame, uncreative nickname). If you’re any good at math at all, you can easily figure out…

Kent Bazemore 19 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)

I think I may have been premature in undertaking the ritual that would transfer the “Bazed God” nickname from Kent Bazemore to Darius Bazley. To be fair to me, at the time that the transferral took place, Bazley had just had a good game while Bazemore was not doing much of anything. It seemed clear…

Anfernee Simons 16 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2019)

Something bad has happened to Rodney Hood. Something very bad. Rodney Hood won’t be coming back for a long time, maybe ever. But the universe always operates at a perfect balance. When something very bad happens, necessarily there will be something very good that happens somewhere else. And, in this case, that very good thing…
