Where did Serge Ibaka’s shot-blocking go? It’s still there, a little bit, but he now hardly resembles the dude who, once upon a time, blocked almost 4 shots a game. Yes, I am aware of the conspiracy theory regarding Ibaka and his age. Yes, I realize that it does nicely explain his earlier-than-expected statistical decline….

Cory Joseph 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/29/2017)
When does Kyle Lowry come back or is he dead forever? I’m honestly a little bit tired of making Cory Joseph videos because nobody watches them and he’s got that floater-heavy “backup point guard” scoring game that always fails to excite me. The sooner that Lowry comes back, the sooner that CoJo can go back…
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 12 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2017)
Jakob “Poeltl Sundae” Poeltl is the “solid white bigman” of the next generation. Remember how solid Jeff Foster was? That’s Jakob Poeltl. He’s solid. Or, he will be solid in the future. He’s still working on his solidity. The white part, though, he has down. Definitely. That part of his game is fully-developed. As is…
Read MoreCory Joseph 15 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (3/27/2017)
If you have ever wondered what a double-digit assist game by Cory Joseph looks like, you’re in luck. If you have never wondered what a double-digit assist game by Cory Joseph looks like, you’re still in luck, because you just realized that you did actually want to see such a thing and now it is…
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 12 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2017)
Full disclosure: Jakob Poeltl’s appearance reminds of a white(r) Blake Griffin. With that out of the way, we can reflect on how it sucks that the Raptors are such a good team because it means that their bountiful collection of young talent doesn’t get as much time as they need to develop unless they go…
Read MoreCory Joseph 15 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/10/2017)
Whoops, these highlights ended up kind of crappy. Nothing wrong with them technically, it’s just that all the assists were lame and the scoring was only decent. Never underestimate the detrimental effect lame assists can have on a video. There’s a reason some highlight-makers don’t include them, even if they include the cooler ones. Worst…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 25 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)
The age-old debate continues: is Dwayne Casey holding down Jonas Valanciunas, who is a potential star, because he is an idiot of a coach, or is Dwayne Casey rightfully denying playing time to Jonas Valanciunas because he isn’t that effective of an NBA player in terms of advanced stats? I don’t think a resolution will…
Read MoreNorman Powell 21 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2017)
This Raptors commentator dude, this Jack Armstrong, man, he has some fun catchphrases. They’re no “onions baby onions”, but the chance to hear him croaking “GET THAT GAHBAGE OUTA HEA!” is the number two reason to watch the Raptors right now, behind the chance that maybe Bruno Caboclo will maybe play. And the best part…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 22 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)
The Raptors are going to make the playoffs. That much we know. They could lose most of the rest of their games and still make the 8th seed. Kyle Lowry is injured. We know that as well. He’s not coming back until the playoffs. Combine those two things. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? That’s…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 18 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2017)
The Sergeballu LaMu Sayonga Loom Walahas Jonas Hugo Ibaka experiment was a failure in Orlando. Not Sergeballu’s fault, really, short of LeBron, there wasn’t much that was going to get that team into the playoffs. So the Magic did the right thing and traded him to a team that is poised to not only make…
