I didn’t indicate it in the title (update: I changed my mind, people have to know about this), but Rui Hachmiura had 2 blocks in this game. 2 blocks doesn’t sound like very many (probably because there’s only one positive integer lower than 2), but it really is for him. I’ll let you guess how…

Moritz Wagner 19 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
That thirty-point game that Moritz “Der Gotterdammerung” Wagner dropped in the first month of the season continues to wreak havoc on my Wagner-related thought processes. Even though I know logically that he’s just a low-end role-player, that thirty-burger has tricked part of my mind into thinking that he’s a night-in, night-out scoring god who makes…
Read MoreRui Hachimura 17 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2020)
Just so you guys know, a Rui Hachimura midrange-ilation is DEFINITELY happening after the season is over. I have a feeling that Hachimura’s reliance on those pull-up midrange jimbos is going to decrease in the future as he gets more comfortable with scoring on other ways, so I can’t afford to miss this opportunity. If…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 20 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2020)
Everybody knows about how Davis Bertans got mega-snubbed for the three-point contest last season. His percentages were sick bordering on naughty, but his volume was neither sick nor naughty, so they snubbed him. Exactly who “they” are in this scenario, I’m not too sure, which is probably a good thing because I was getting ready…
Read MoreBruce Brown 19 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/2/2020)
Bruce Brown, with his 19/10/8 statline, was a mere two assists away from a triple-double. If he had somehow gotten two more assists in the overtime period, would it have been the most unlikely triple-double this season? Really, the only players to get triple-doubles this season that I would put on the same level of…
Read MoreThomas Bryant 21 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2020)
The ‘Zards rarely get wins these days, but when they do, it’s against teams that have such an impotent offensive attack that even the ‘Zards nearly nonexistent defense can stop them from scoring. Enter the Charlotte Hornets. They were good for a little while and maybe even snuck into a playoff seeding for a little…
Read MoreThomas Bryant 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/28/2020)
It must be nice to be a big man on the Wizards right now. Nobody expects you to put in more than a token amount of effort on defense. Non-big players get away with not playing defense all the time, which often leaves the bigs to pick up the slack, but on the ‘Zards, there’s…
Read MoreTroy Brown 19 Points/1 Half-Court Shot Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
Attention all young basketball players (or NBA players who happen to be watching this video [reveal yourself Luke Babbitt I know you’re out there]): this video is a good example of why you ALWAYS heave up a shot to end a quarter. Sometimes it goes in and your team gets three points closer to winning…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 17 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2020)
At first I wasn’t going to make this video. I said to myself “Bertans is averaging fifteen PPG per game right now so seventeen isn’t that impressive for him.” But my little kitty Japurri Purrker, who is smart enough to understand human speech, heard me talking to myself and started meowing really angrily at me….
Read MoreDavis Bertans 24 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
When Davis Bertans was out for that stretch of games in late December and early January, I discovered some things about myself that might not have come to the forefront without his extended absence. Basically, I found out that I was counting on Bertans for both my general happiness and my overall mental stability. And…
