Lonnie Walker 16 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2019)

We were robbed of Lonnie Walker’s rookie year by a meniscus tear he sustained prior to the beginning of the season. Of course Walker’s rookie season is still happening; he’s played in a few games, so it’s not like we were literally robbed like we were with Blake Griffin once upon a time. But we’ll…

Bryn Forbes 19 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2019)

I remember like it was yesterday when Bryn “Forbearance” Forbes, in his rookie season, randomly dropped 27 points in an April game. For a guy who was only getting pity minutes from Popovich at that point, 27 was unbelievable. Literally unable to be believed. Since my life is, generally, a dismal series of events which…

Derrick White 23 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2019)

Derrick “Am I Kawaii Uguu~” White scored eleven points in the final six minutes of this game to save the Spurs from an embarrassing loss to the Hawks. The terms “hero” and its adjectival form “heroic” get thrown around too much these days, but I can say without shame that Derrick White as a heroic…

Bryn Forbes 19 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2019)

Someone please give Rashad Vaughn another chance in the league. I’m bringing this up because Bryan Forbes is the player currently in the NBA that most reminds me of Vaughn. Their jumpers are very similar. Forbes has several advantages over Vaughn, being good at shooting foremost among them, but he’s second place (in this comparison,…

Bryn Forbes 20 Points Full Highlights (3/22/2019)

I would say that Bryn Forbes did a decent job of matching James Harden tonight. Harden scored 61, which is only 41 points more than Forbes himself scored. 41 points isn’t that much in the grand scheme of things; only about a quarter-and-a-half’s worth of play for your average basketball team. Imagine how much of…

Jakob Poeltl 12 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (3/15/2019)

Jakob “Pink Mamba” Poeltl looks like he was enjoying the Spurs’ recent off days a little too much. I get that in Austria people don’t have to worry as much about sunburn because they only have one season, which is winter (don’t believe the lies peddled by “The Sound of Music”), and most people don’t…

Derrick White 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/12/2019)

It doesn’t seem like a coincidence that the Spurs are winning again now that Derrick White is back. They lost 6 of the 7 games that he missed, and almost as soon as he returned, they’ve gone on a 6-game winning streak. By definition, the fact that winning is happing again in San Antonio means…

Derrick White 18 Points/9 Assists/6 Blocks Full Highlights (3/6/2019)

Derrick White’s 6 blocks in this game are the most in any single game by a guard this season, tied with Jrue Holiday. No other guard even has 5. Obviously, when it comes to guards and blocking shots, you’re getting a lot of strips and knockaways, which is a lot lamer than bigmen rejecting dunks…

Rudy Gay 22 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2019)

I need to watch more Spurs games. They haven’t forgotten the art of the midrange jumpers. I don’t have the stats in front of me, but I’m pretty sure I looked it up and remember seeing that LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan are in the top five of midrange shooting. Add in Rudy Gay, who…

Davis Bertans 16 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2019)

It’s not shown in this video, but Davis Bertans was afforded the opportunity to be the hero in this game when he took a leaning baseline jumper with four seconds left in the game, the Spurs down by one. It wasn’t really a good look, but that’s on DeMar DeRozan for getting locked down hard…
