What’s even the point of going on any longer for Davis Bertans? The three-point shootout is over (spoiler alert: he didn’t win), something which seemed to be the overriding goal for his season. Now all that’s left is a whole bunch of losing. If he was the kind of guy who really cared about his…

Dejounte Murray 23 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2020)
Dejounte Murray, along with his brother-in-arms Shai Gilgeous-Alexander up in Oklahoma, is making sure that the midrange game doesn’t die in today’s era of obsessive analytics (an era which I have had no hand in perpetuating whatsoever…nope, none at all). Like SGA, Murray is lanky enough that he can usually get his shot even if…
Read MoreDerrick White 17 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/11/2020)
After coming up with the genius idea of manufacturing and selling a Derrick White realdoll, and having my sales pitch ignored by everybody in the Spurs’ front office despite standing outside their building for hours with a megaphone and a notebook full of hand-drawn sketches of the product, I’ve decided to go into business for…
Read MoreDejounte Murray Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2020)
Dejounte Murray (whose first name is apparently not pronounced “Deh-JOONT”, but I’m going to keep pronouncing it that way anyway, come at me bro) just set a new career high mostly on the back of a quintessentially Spursian shot, the midrange jimbo. Somewhere, LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan are tagteam hugging him while crying. Aside…
Read MorePatty Mills 20 Points/0 Rebounds/0 Assists/0 Steals/0 Blocks Full Highlights (2/11/2020)
Tony Snell captured the heart of NBA fans worldwide two years ago when he recorded the immortal statline of 18/0/0/0/0. To score so many points, while having so little impact on the rest of the game going on around him, was unprecedented. Now, in the year 2020, Patty Mills has achieved the same glorious feat,…
Read MoreDejounte Murray 17 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Dejounte Murray was one rebound and one assist short of finishing with a triple-double. It would’ve been good for him to get it, because that would’ve been at least one good thing to happen for the Spurs instead of the zero good things that happened for the Spurs. Actually, even if Murray did get the…
Read MoreTrey Lyles 23 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2020)
Remember when Paul Millsap was ruining Trey Lyles’ career while they were both on the Nuggets? The ruination became very apparent when Millsap went out with one of his injuries that he’s always injuring himself with, and Lyles immediately started beasting. In case you think I’m joking, the stats are there for you to see….
Read MoreDavis Bertans 19 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)
I’ve lost track: has the roster for the three-point shootout been finalized yet? I know some dudes have definitely been OFFICIALLY confirmed for the contest, but it doesn’t seem like enough dudes have been named to round out the roster. Unless I haven’t been paying attention and all the names have been announced while I’m…
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 17 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2020)
Jakob Poeltl, over the last few games, has seemingly realized a basketball truism that is, truthfully, innately present in over 99 percent of the population (and not just the basketball-playing portion of the population, I literally mean the entire population of earth): if you put the ball in the hole, your team gets two points….
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/27/2020)
Jakob Poeltl would have had just the second twenty-burger of his career if he could have just made a few more gosh darn free throws. Not only that, but the Spurs likely would have won this game if he had just made a few more gosh darn free throws. Going 2/8 from the welfare stripe…
