If I was a fan of one of the teams in this game, I literally would not have been able to handle the intensity. Death would’ve been my fate, surely. I barely could handle it as it was; my heart was beating out of my chest for the entire duration of the four overtimes. My…

Will Barton 23 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
It’s safe to say that, according to the national media, nothing occurred in this Lakers/Nuggets matchup other than LeBron passing MJ. I already bemoaned this fact in my last video for Alex Caruso’s career-high 15 points, but allow me to continue bemoaning. Because here’s the deal: Will Barton totally DOMINATED the Lakers in this game,…

With the emergence of all sorts of scoring threats from all corners of the Nuggets roster (still waiting on Michael Porter Jr. btw he’s gonna be a beast), Will Barton has seen a slight downturn in his scoring this season. When a team has been doing good with you sitting on the bench, injured, like…

There’s just something missing for me when it comes to Will Barton. I don’t think I could get hyped for him even if he scored 50, even though he’s just about as good as Khris Middleton and I love that dude. It’s always an issue when I don’t appreciate a role-player as much as they…

At points this season, Will Barton has been a convenient scapegoat whenever the Nuggets lost, which was more often than maybe they should have given their talent level. Never mind that Paul Millsap is the real scapegoat here (for ruining team chemistry) or that many other players had fixable defiencies that led to losses (Jokic…

Will Barton got off to a great start in this one, scoring the first nine points of the game in the span of about a minute. If you want to watch that part and then close the video and resume staring blankly at the wall, you should. He ended up doing some more stuff after…

How many points per game could Will Barton average if he was given his own team? Twenty? Twenty-two? Twenty-five, even? I get the feeling that he doesn’t take as many shots as he wishes he got to take. He’s a good teammate who understands that his better teammates should take more shots, so he doesn’t…

Will Barton: super ultra discount version of James Harden? Let’s go with it. Sounds a lot better than “Corey Brewer 2.0”. The similarities are all there, but not as good: the beard, the shooting/chucking, the driving/finishing ability, passing, and… that’s about it. Not nearly as much foul-drawing ability, but that’s a good thing. Also more…
Read MoreWill Barton 25 Points/5 Assists/1 Fight Full Highlights (2/10/2018)
Every time I use the word “fight” in the title of a video, I get a little uneasy, for several reasons. First reason is, advertising that the video contains a “fight” (usually just a scuffle or exchange of words) feels like clickbait. I’m not Buzzfeed here. Second reason is, I know that the NBA really…

Nuggets fans are, perhaps understandably, often annoyed with Will Barton for his hero-ball tendencies at the end of games. I totally get it. High-confidence, low-success players often enrage their fanbases with their late-game antics. I distinctly remember Avery Bradley catching plenty of flak from Pistons fans for missing game-winners, and I would certainly be mad…
