“Why do scrubs always go off on us?” comes the frantic yell of the collective fanbase any time a role-player scores more than twenty points. Their angst is understandable, but ultimately misguided; lots of role-players have good games every night, and they have to come against some other team. Teams that get burned repeatedly by…

Otto Porter 13 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2014)
New seasons mean new chances for players who may have underperformed the previous year. Only a fool would cling on to results of past years, as if they were the sole predictor of future events. The truth is, changes in team composition, plus a myriad other factors, make NBA success very hard to predict. Always…
Read MoreJohn Wall All 43 Dunks Full Highlights (2013-14 Season Dunkilation)
It’s been a while since I made John Wall highlights. He is not truly outside the scope of this channel, since he is a young player and not quite a “superstar” yet, but a quick search for John Wall videos on my channel reveals only two results, both from the 2012-13 season. Maybe I just…
Read MoreMarcin Gortat Career High 31 Points/16 Rebounds Full Highlights (5/13/2014)
What just happened? I am stunned. The ball clearly went off Jackson. Wait. Wrong game. Messed up my notecards again. Off to the archives! Okay. I’m back. I really should upgrade my technology. What just happened? I am stunned. Marcin Gortat just had the game of his life against an all-star center (heh) with his…
Read MoreMarcin Gortat 21 Points Full Highlights (5/7/2014)
Marcin Gortat is not having very good matchup luck in these playoffs. First he has to go up against DPOY Joakim Noah. After dispatching him, he now gets to face the former DPOY Roy Hibbert. Talk all you want about the recent failures of Hibbert, but the fact remains that he is 7-3 and can…
Read MoreDrew Gooden 12 Points/13 Rebounds Full Highlights (5/5/2014)
As I’ve mentioned before, the playoffs are not a great time for fans of role-players and all-out scrubs. Yearning for some Garrett Temple? Hah. Desire some Otto Porter highlights? Excuse me while I LOL. So that makes these Gooden highlights even weirder than normal. It’s not like he even got that many minutes, but in…
Read MoreAl Harrington 16 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (4/13/2014)
Al Harrington is one of those guys who it seems like just shouldn’t be in the league anymore. His only skill is shooting tons of threes at mediocre percentages. And being a savvy vet. If that counts as a skill. Oh, and he hustles. That’s definitely not a skill, though. Anyone can do that. I’m…
Read MoreOtto Porter 9 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (4/11/2014)
The Wizards’ plan is working out perfectly. They’re making the playoffs, and their secret weapon has yet to be unveiled. You may think Otto Porter is merely a bust who was a total reach in the draft, but the actuality is that he’s been told to perform poorly in order to surprise playoff opponents. 7th…
Read MoreOtto Porter 9 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2014)
On the surface, Otto Porter appears to be a bust of magnificent proportions. However, do not be so quick to judge! He missed training camp and the beginning of the season with an injury, robbing him of his chance to get acclimated to his team and the NBA as a whole. The Wizards’ rotation was…
Read MoreBradley Beal 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/31/2014)
“It was so nice of you to invite me out for lunch, Marcin. You must have known how tiring it was to be stuck on the holodeck for seventy hours a day,” Bradley said, picking out a concentrated steak paste from the spaceship’s vending machine and inserting the proper number of plasmocredits. “Not a problem,…
