Manu Ginobili 21 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2018)

Manu Ginobili refuses to be claimed by Father Time. He just keeps going. I’ve been watching Jason Terry slowly lug his useless corpse around the court for the Bucks, and it amazes me how much sprier Ginobili looks. He’s lost a step or two or five, but he can still get it done to a…

Bryn Forbes 15 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2018)

I almost forgot to do Bryn Forbes highlights! It’s a little late, but I’m sure there are still some Forbophiles out there who will appreciate him having one of the best scoring games of his career. I know, right? It’s true: this 15-point performance is the fourth (forbesth [that didn’t work]) best scoring game of…

Patty Mills 26 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2017)

Patty Mills was legitimately the second scoring option in the lineup that the Spurs trotted out last night. Kawhi didn’t play, and Pau Gasol is suffering from a serious case of the olds (0-of-4 in twelve minutes), so Mills is only behind Aldridge in terms of scoring potency. Those are the kinds of situations where…

Manu Ginobili 15 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)

It’s impossible to talk about Manu Ginobili’s old-man scoring game without using the word “crafty”. You just can’t do it. You can try your hardest, but that word will always slip out of your mouth without your meaning it to, because it is the perfect word to describe how Ginobili continues to be a competent…

Davis Bertans 13 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2017)

The Spurs have been great for Davis Bertans’ development. He’s been allowed to get used to the NBA game at his own pace, without any pressure to produce immediately. He gets to learn from the best coaching staff in the league, as well as absorb veteran wisdom from various players. He’s not a finished product…

Joffrey Lauvergne 14 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2017)

I hear the rapping of knuckles on my door. Not expecting visitors and fairly certain that I hadn’t ordered any pizza deliveries lately, I walk to the door and open it in confusion. Outside it there is nobody waiting for me, and my confusion is heightened until I look down and see an envelop waiting…

Patty Mills 20 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

Patty Mills is sort of the “Forgotten Australian” of the NBA; he’s been around for so long, filling his role so competently and blandly that Australians don’t even care about him anymore. Him and Andrew Bogut and David Andersen are like the OG Australian ballers of this generation, but a new generation has arrived, leaving…

Bryn Forbes 17 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2017)

Alert San Antonio residents: it is currently snowing where I am and it is not currently snowing where you are. So there. I’ve got a really warm blanket covering me with a little cat named Japurri Purrker perched on it and he is purring. A warm beverage is sitting on my desk. Outside my window,…

Joffrey Lauvergne 12 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2017)

Twelve points isn’t a whole lot for Joffrey Lauvergne. He’s shown that he can be a semi-legitimate scoring threat at least some of the time, and a measly dozen points doesn’t adequately display what he has to offer. However, he barely gets any minutes on this Spurs team (Davis Bertans is stealing his minutes), and…

Dejounte Murray 17 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2017)

If I really wanted to make you sad, I would have shown Dejounte Murray’s final steal of the game, the one that set up Brandon Paul’s missed game-tying three-point attempt. Murray had a great game, pesky on defense while also showing some nice driving ability, but the Spurs just couldn’t quite pull it off. The…
