Troy Brown 25 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2020)

Since Troy Brown is a wing player who can’t shoot threes very well at all, but has an acceptable midrange game, it shouldn’t take much of your brainpower to figure out what low-effort comparison I’m about to make between this guy and an all-time great. That’s right. Dwyane Wade. How far off-base am I? I’ve…

Anzejs Pasecniks 13 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2020)

Hype for Anzejs Pasecniks, which had reached a fever pitch in Latvia and probably maybe existed a little bit in Washington DC as well (or not), completely fizzled out when he had a string of four games that looked like this: 4 points, 1-of-4 shooting vs NYK 2 points, 1-of-2 shooting vs MIA 4 points,…

Isaac Bonga 15 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2020)

The most obvious attribute of Isaac Bonga is readily apparent in the thumbnail: is this dude not the most wrinkly under-20 player in NBA history? Okay, fine, he just turned 20 like two months ago, but before that. Let me rephrase: was this dude not the most wrinkly under-20 player in NBA history? Greg Oden…

Ish Smith Career High 32 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2020)

I could go through this video and check, but I feel like, having just compiled it, that every single one of the buckets and assists depicted herein were created solely by Ish Smith, and no one else. Every single one was him either pushing on the fast break, or standing behind the three-point line for…

Garrison Mathews 18 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)

On the surface, this may not seem like as sweet of a performance by Garrison Mathews as his out-of-nowhere 28-point game a few days ago, but do not be fooled by the raw point totals. I repeat: do NOT be fooled. Practitioners of the pseudoscience known as “mathematics” will have you believe that that performance…

Jordan McRae 35 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)

When you see the phrases “Jordan McRae” and “35 Points” in close proximity to each other, your thoughts should immediately go to the time he scored 36 points with the Cavaliers in the final game of the 2015-16 season. If your thoughts do not go in that direction, kindly stop watching this video, and refrain…

Ish Smith 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2019)

My video series for a devastating quadfecta of ‘Zards role-players concludes with Ish Smith dropping a rather pedestrian (compared to the other three’s statlines) 19 points and 7 assists. The combination of Smith, Ian Mahinmi, Garrison Mathews, and Jordan McRae scored 101 points. The rest of the team, 22. Mahinmi was the only starter in…

Jordan McRae 29 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2019)

Jordan McRae opened his eyes to a scene that was unfamiliar, but also had that faint whisper of familiarity that gave him pause. As his vision beheld the grand hall that stretched out in front of him, with rising stone walls disappearing into a silvery cloud-haze and endlessly smooth marble floors, his memory grasped at…

Ian Mahinmi Career High 25 Points/2 Threes Full Highlights (12/30/2019)

After toiling through individual box-scores from the past four seasons, I have made an OFFICIAL DTB DETERMINATION: This 25-point performance marks the first time since Ian Mahinmi signed with the Wizards that he has lived up to his contract. If you’ve forgotten (and if you’re a ‘Zards fan, you’ve been trying really hard to forget),…

Garrison Mathews Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2019)

File this one away under “most unexpected scrub outbursts of 2019”. Garrison Mathews (who will forever be cursed to have his last name spelled incorrectly) had scored thirty points in his career before this game. That means he almost doubled his career scoring output in one game. I’m trying to stay calm right now but…
