Jeff Green 20 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2018)
If the Wizards’ season is going to get back on track, it’s going to be because the team decided to follow Jeff Green’s example for how to play basketball. Which is: sleepwalk through the motions while not caring about anything or anyone, ignoring all locker-room conflicts, and coasting on natural talent. There’s enough natural talent…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 19 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2018)
Did anyone let the Wizards commentators know that Kelly Oubre’s half-court buzzer beater at the end of the third quarter didn’t count? Probably not. They sounded so happy, like it was the first good thing to happen to their team all season (it pretty much was), why would you ruin that happiness with facts? That…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 18 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2018)
I hope there are still fans of Austin Rivers from his HoopMixTape days. I remember watching those vids of him crossing over pathetic high-school defenders and thinking “man that white guy really has some handles”. And I wasn’t wrong. He has a nice crossover, and you cannot even begin to tell me that he is…
Read MoreJeff Green 19 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (11/10/2018)
Jeff Green’s just going to keep playing forever, isn’t he? The members of the 2007 draft class, save for the stars, are starting to drop out now. Green isn’t a star, but he looks about the same as he did a decade ago. A team looking for a low-maintenance “scorer” can find a use for…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 19 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2018)
Kelly Oubre sat on the floor of the locker room, working on his project with studious concentration. Most of his teammates were ignoring him, too upset about a close loss to the Magic to do anything but change their clothes in silence. However, Austin Rivers couldn’t help but walk over to get a closer look….
Read MoreKelly Oubre 22 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2018)
Kelly Oubre was sitting in his locker, hunched over a notebook. The pen in his hand scribbled furiously, writing notes, then crossing them out and writing new ones over the top. Dwight Howard happened to walk by. “Hey, what’s that?” he asked. “Notes for your next novel?” Shaking his head, Kelly didn’t even look up….
Read MoreMarkieff Morris 28 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
Markieff Morris had just eleven points going into the fourth quarter of this game, then scored eight in the last three minutes of regulation and nine in overtime. Given those numbers, which, by their intrinsic numerological nature, are irrefutable, is it fair to say that Markieff WON the game for the Wizards? I think such…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 22 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
Sometimes I make highlight videos for guys who didn’t really look all that good on the court, you know, while the game was actually going on. This is not one of those times. Kelly Oubre made up for his lackluster start to the season with this gem of a performance, scoring points in all sorts…
Read MoreJeff Green 17 Points Wizards Debut Full Highlights (10/18/2018)
I absolutely wasn’t going to make a video for Jeff Green when I first looked at the box-score. “No way, seventeen is absolutely not enough points for a player of Green’s caliber,” I said to myself while absentmindedly scratching certain “private” areas of my anatomy. Then I woke up this morning literally a changed man….
