Nikola Jokic went about 2.5 quarters in a row without scoring the single, solitary point he needed for the “points” component of his usual triple-double. Even as he acquired the other stats with ease, he stubbornly refused to score. I spent most of that time yelling at my stream, telling the other Nuggets to stop…

Ben Simmons Triple Double 12 Pts, 13 Rebs, 15 Asts Full Highlights (12/7/2017)
It’s happening. Ben Simmons is, as all good PGs do, beginning to get a little help from the scorekeepers when it comes to assists. You think John Stockton really earned all those assists? Sure, he was a great passer, but he was made greater by the liberal Jazz scorekeepers. I’m not surprised that it happened…

BEN SIMMONS JUMPSHOT ALERT! BEN SIMMONS JUMPSHOT ALERT! BEN SIMMONS HAS MADE A JUMPSHOT! ALERT ALERT ALERT THIS IS NOT A TEST THIS IS NOT A DRILL BEN SIMMONS JUMPSHOT ALERT For your information, I actually rigged up the klaxon that I have next to my highlight station to go off whenever it detects a…
Read MoreTy Lawson Triple Double 22 Pts/12 Asts/11 Rebs Full Highlights (4/11/2017)
I’m extremely surprised that this is the first triple-double of Ty Lawson’s career. He averaged 15 and 10 a couple years ago on the Nuggets (the year before his career totally derailed); normally players averaging double-digit points and assists are gonna statpad their way to at least a few 10-rebound games. All it takes usually…
Read MoreElfrid Payton Triple Double 22 Points/14 Rebs/14 Asts Full Highlights (3/8/2017)
Due to the unexplainable vagaries of fate, I ended up having to make this video and eat buffalo wings at the same time. Before you become jealous of my existence (highlights and wings, what could be better?), remember that there is no clean way of eating buffalo wings. None. You can’t use utensils, because obviously…
Read MoreJulius Randle Triple Double 19 Pts/11 Asts/14 Rebs Full Highlights (1/3/2017)
I’m going to be honest right now. I’m not the world’s biggest Julius Randle fan. Last season he took a lot of shots he couldn’t make, and even this season it seems like he’s going to miss every layup he attempts. But that’s not the primary reason why I have a vague dislike for him….
Read MoreNicolas Batum Triple Double 20 Pts/10 Asts/11 Rebs Full Highlights (12/23/2016)
Does it seem to anybody else that there are more crazy statlines this year then there have been in the past couple of season? It just feels like, to me, that we’re seeing insane stuff happening every single night. This is the 31st triple double of the season, courtesy of Nicolas Batum. That doesn’t sound…
Read MoreTim Frazier Triple Double 14 pts/11 asts/11 rebs Full Highlights (12/11/2016)
The Pelicans are one of my favorite teams to watch right now. They’ve got a superstar (Anthony Davis), which of course always makes for a fun viewing experience, but then they have a huge collection of talent-deficient but lovable role-players (everyone else except Jrue Holiday). Basically any lineup the coach decides to trot out there,…
Read MoreNicolas Batum Triple Double 19 Pts/12 Asts/12 Rebs Full Highlights (3/29/2016)
The Charlotte Hornets are way better than I thought they were going to be this year. I admit, I had some hearty laughs at their expense, making light of what I thought to be another pointless 8th-seed push. Jokes on me, right? The 5th seed is way more than the 8th. There are a lot…
Read MoreJulius Randle Triple Double 13 Pts/10 Asts/18 Rebs Full Highlights (3/25/2016)
I’m going to come right out and say it: this was a Giannis-esque performance by Julius Randle. Some of these scoring moves are right out of the Greek’s playbook. Herky-jerky drives to the basket that maybe could be called as travels, ending with contorting finishes that defy logic. And the passes? They’re also similar, in…
