If you had asked me before the season started “Hey DTB, what are the chances that you make three Lance Thomas highlight videos this season?” I would have told you “zero”. I wasn’t really even expecting him to be in the league. Actually, that’s not true. I didn’t have a single thought about Lance Thomas…

Paul Pierce 19 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2015)
Is Paul Pierce the biggest bust of all time? I mean, with the tenth pick in the draft, you kinda want more than just an average role player. You want somebody who can elevate your team to a championship, somebody who can be a ten-time All Star. Not this scrub sandwich. The Celtics absolutely screwed…
Read MoreDante Exum 13 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (1/24/2015)
All these highlights of Dante Exum are the same: him making a few threes with a couple meager assists sprinkled in. Does this guy ever shoot free throws? Does he ever drive to the basket? I see some flashes of good court vision, but does he ever get more than 4 or 5 assists? Trey…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/24/2015)
One of the Jazz commentators mentioned a nickname for Joe Ingles that I had not yet heard: Slow Joe. Talk about lame. I can definitely improve upon that sad excuse for a moniker. Brace yourselves. “Slowppy Joe” Hell yeah! That’s what I’m talking about! Let me walk you through the layers of this cunning creation….
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 25 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/24/2015)
The sheen has kind of worn off Tim Hardaway Jr. after his surprisingly successful rookie campaign. He doesn’t really do anything but score, and he doesn’t even do that at an acceptable level. His rebounds and assists are up from last year, true, but only because going lower would have been almost impossible. Also, it’s…
Read MoreLuol Deng 23 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2015)
We haven’t heard a lot about Luol Deng since he went to the Heat. He’s only the third banana on his new team, a team that is suffering noticeably from the departure of Ray Allen. Another thing causing his relative anonymity this year is his apparent inability to dunk. Dunking is the machinery that drives…
Read MoreJason Smith 19 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (1/23/2015)
In the locker room after the game, the mood was jubilant. It felt good to win; everybody was in high spirits, including Jason Smith. As he peeled off his sweaty jersey, he thought he saw something out of the corner of his eye. His pulse quickened, wondering if “they” were back again. When he noticed…
Read MoreLance Thomas 16 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (1/23/2015)
With his arrival just a few weeks ago, Lance Thomas continues the legacy of great Thomases playing basketball in New York City. Of course, I am talking mostly about the immortal and unaging Kurt Thomas, whose body resisted the determined overtures of Death himself to start seventeen games for the Knicks when he was 40…
Read MoreQuincy Miller 13 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2015)
I’m sure there are a lot of good things about Quincy Miller. Blah blah length blah blah athleticism blah blah shooting blah blah blah. However, there’s one thing that forever taints him in my view. He shoots his free throws too fast. Usually a player has a whole ritual that he goes through before he…
Read MoreEric Gordon 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/23/2015)
If Eric Gordon were a type of ice cream preparation, what kind of ice cream preparation would he be? Bowl of chocolate ice cream: it’s okay, but you know it’s not the same as real chocolate. Kind of like Eric Gordon now isn’t the “real” Eric Gordon, the pre-injury Eric Gordon. Fair comparison. Waffle cone…
