Thaddeus Young 21 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2018)

Thaddeus Young stood on the cold street corner, his hoodie pulled tight over his face. The last time he had been here, in this dangerous part of Brooklyn, he had been in search of his next fix. Even now, after being clean all those years, he could still taste the forbidden taste of cheesesteak on…

Thaddeus Young 26 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

Thaddeus Young walked through the hallways of the Wells Fargo Center towards the visitors’ locker room. At every turn, he saw another thing that reminded him of the seven years where he had called this his home arena. Even some of the staff were the same, and they greeted him happily as if he had…

Thaddeus Young 25 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2018)

Due to real-life circumstances, I was unable to watch the Bucks-Pacers game live. For once, I’m thankful that real life intervened and prevented me from being a mindless consumer of sporting events, because the Pacers kicked so much Buck booty that my mood would have been ruined for the rest of that evening and perhaps…

Thaddeus Young 20 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

There was a time not too long ago when a twenty-point game by Thaddeus Young was not only an expected occurrence, but a common one. In the 2013-14 season, his last with the 76ers, Young scored twenty or more points 29 times. This year, nearly a third of the way through the season, he’s only…

Thaddeus Young 22 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/25/2018)

Thaddeus Young is one of those good players on a playoff team who you never, ever hear anything about, ever. No articles, no tweets, no social media antics, maybe something in some rinky-dink local media outfit but who cares, and definitely no Zach Lowe. I could be wrong about that last one, because I lost…

Thaddeus Young 22 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)

Last night’s recipient of the SORPWWOAGB award was none other than the Pacers’ Thaddeus Young. In case your brain is too small to remember what the acronym stands for, it’s the “Scrub or Role Player Who Went Out and Got Buckets” award. The SORPWWOAGB Award (pronounced “sorp woag bee”) was instituted by myself to raise…

Thaddeus Young 23 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2017)

In my last Thaddeus Young vid, I debuted a new award that intended to advance the cause of role players and scrubs in the NBA. It’s called the SORPWWOAGB award. That’s a lot of letters for just one acronym, so I’ll spell it out for you: “Scrub or Role Player Who Went Out And Got…

Thaddeus Young 26 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)

In order to advance the cause of scrubs and role players in the NBA, I have come up with a new award for such players who have astounding single-game shooting performances: the SORPWWOAGB award. If you’re too dumb to figure out the acronym without me spelling it out for you, I’m gonna spell it out…

Thaddeus Young 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/10/2016)

Thaddeus Young just set a career high for three pointers made in a game. That’s cool. Good for him. The interesting thing is, looking at his game log, every game where he made either four or five threes, his team lost. Most of those games came during a stretch where The Mad Thadder was the…

Thaddeus Young 24 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2016)

I feel like Pacers analyst Quinn Buckner might be losing it. He’s always been somewhat of a spastic, blustery commentator, randomly changing tack halfway through a thought, usually to insist that one or the other coach needs to take a timeout ASAP. However, he’s worringly begun to call players by the wrong name, or combine…
