Trevor Booker 19 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2016)

I think I’m really going to miss the Jazz commentators calling Trevor Booker dunks this year. They’re pretty annoying most of the time, but when they call Booker “Trampoline Man”, reference his dunks as the “Hammer of Thor” or just yell “Trevor BOOKER” in a really husky voice, you realize that nobody else should be…

Markieff Morris 24 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2016)

https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=jLYHmSq6SDE I’m trying to figure out right now if Markieff Morris contributes significantly to wins given his style of play. He’s definitely a scorer more than anything else, but he’s not that great of a scorer – he just shoots a high volume to make it look like he is, Kobe-retirement-tour-style. He’s shooting well from…

DTB’s Official NBA Power Rankings (Week 2)

This week’s biggest busts: Celtics -6, Magic -6, Pistons -4, Heat -4 This week’s biggest successes: Hawks +5, Suns +4, Knicks +3, Lakers +3, Jazz +3 1. Los Angeles Clippers (9-1, 4-0 this week) (last week: #2 [5-1] +1) They took it to the Spurs, Pistons, and Blazers in consecutive games, winning each by more…

Jordan Clarkson 23 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2016)

It is never too early to start discussing 6MOTY candidates just like it is never too early to start discussing Christmas presents with your mom (I really need a new guitar and a skateboard. Mom are you reading this?). With Nick Young(?) apparently entrenched as the starter at shooting guard, Jordan Clarkson probably won’t start…

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2016)

I sit in my high-quality leather office chair, perusing basketball-reference for possible highlight videos to create, each statline going into the appropriate category in my highly-organized mind: too good of a player, too many points, a player whom I dislike, etc. It is all an automatic process for me, for I am the mortal man…

Jahlil Okafor 18 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2016)

Hype for Jahlil Okafor = over. He’s still the same player as always (except he added some arc to his free throw), but now there’s a new game in town: Ersan Ilyasova. Ersan offers so much that Jahlil simply doesn’t. Three-pointers being the main thing. Jahlil has tried a little bit to add range, but…

Eric Gordon 27 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/12/2016)

Sorry about my other videos tonight. Well, maybe not sorry. Just acknowledging that for some people, they would be unsatisfactory, what with their point totals of 18,12,16,19,14,15,12, and 15. Good amounts of points for the players involved, sure, but not a good amount of points for players who are actually good. LeBron James scores 15…

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute 15 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2016)

I don’t really expect anyone to watch this video; this one is more for my enjoyment than yours. I think back to all the good times I watching Luc Richard Mbah a Moute on the Bucks. Seems like little has changed. He still, after all these years, hasn’t developed a stable jumpshot. He still gets…

James Young 12 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2016)

There are a ton of people who are hyped for James Young, relative to his demonstrated on-court ability. Where did this hype come from? I’m too lazy to really find out, so I’m just gonna guess that he was a hyped prospect who went to Kentucky and was then drafted into the NBA at a…

Sheldon McClellan 15 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2016)

Unlike mystery-man Rodney McGruder, I actually know who Sheldon McClellan is. For real. Remember, I’m being transparent and open now, with no falsehoods or deceptions. Sheldon McClellan is a very known quantity to me. My brain contains many facts about Sheldon McClellan. His first name is Sheldon. His last name is McClellan. He plays NBA…
