It took a long time for the commentators in this game to acknowledge that Otto Porter was putting together a great offensive performance. Like, the whole first half went by, a first half were Otto-man had 20 points, without even a peep from them. I thought maybe the departure of that Chenier guy would lead…

Otto Porter 20 Points Full Highlights (5/15/2017)
I was going to write a big long description about how I thought Otto Porter should have tried harder to make his presence known in this series, but now that I’m looking at his stats from the seven games, it turns out that, other than a goose egg in game 6, Porter was scoring rather…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (5/4/2017)
Does Scott Brooks even realize that he has a guy who once scored 44 points in a single game languishing on the bench? I’m trying to think of the last time Otto Porter scored 44 in an NBA-sanctioned contest, and you know what, I actually can’t think of it, because it never happened. But for…
Read MoreMarcin Gortat 14 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (4/19/2017)
Normally when I make a Marcin Gortat vid, it shows a lot of Gortat doing his own thing. Post moves. Or, at least, him making a few nice mini-jumpers. Not so in this video. He has one iso post-up, and one mini-jumper, and then he’s spoonfed by John Wall for the rest of his buckets….
Read MoreMarkieff Morris 21 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (4/16/2017)
How many poster dunks would it take before people started caring about Markieff Morris? Not just caring about him for one game or for one series; caring about him into next season. He had two this game, and I don’t think that was even enough for people to remember his existence immediately after the game…
Read MoreSheldon McClellan Career High 18 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
I didn’t want to have to do Sheldon McClellan highlights again this year, because I didn’t want to have to decide if I would use his old name or his new name “Sheldon Mac”. That’s a lot of pressure to put on a lowly highlight-compiler, having to decide which name is “correct”. Legally, he’s now…
Read MoreTrey Burke 27 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)
Trey “Treyburkulosis” Burke has been one of the most bench-buried players in the league this season. He was, at the beginning of the season, getting some amount of backup PG minutes, maybe not as many as a player of his caliber (or at least draft pedigree) should have been getting, but some. Then the Wizards…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 20 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)
Bojan Bogdanovic has been in a bit of a slump recently. For those not in the know, slumps (among other things, like boils) are what happen when you don’t make enough sacrifices to Perun. With the playoffs right around the corner, now seems like a bad time to be pissing off the head of Slavic…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 16 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2017)
Will Kelly Oubre ever score over 20 points? With the amount of field goals he gets to attempt, the answer is “not any time soon”. Playing next to high-usage players like John Wall and Bradley Beal can be good for young players since it means they don’t have to shoot too many shots, but it…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 18 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/24/2017)
Brandon Jennings has been a pass-first, pass-second, and pass-third PG for the Wizards since getting signed by them. 5 assists in 14 minutes per game is pretty sick. Sick in the opposite way is his shooting percentages during the same stretch, which are so awful that I’m not even gonna type them here. You have…
