DTB’s Official NBA Power Rankings (Week 4)

This week’s biggest busts: Pacers -5, Hornets -4, Thunder -4, Lakers -4 This week’s biggest successes: Pelicans +8, Celtics +7, Kings +5 1. Golden State Warriors (15-2, 3-0 this week) (last week: #2 [4-0] +1) Scoring 149 points without the benefit of overtime periods is superficially impressive, I’ll admit that. However, when you take a…

Steven Adams 16 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2016)

There is only one dunk in this video and it sucks. Adams is rumbling down the lane ready to invite the entire Pistons team and the entire city of Detroit to his poster party, but Westbrook’s pass bounces off his hands and he has to stop and collect it. Then, nobody on the Pistons wants…

Jonathon Simmons 15 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (11/26/2016)

Idea for a new end-of-season video: a missed-dunkilation. It would be like my dunks of the year video, except instead of the dunks going in the rim the dunks would not go in the rim. Taking the dunkilation concept and turning it on it’s frickin’ head, all topsy-turvy up in here. Yet to be determined…

Jeremy Lamb 18 Points/17 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/26/2016)

I don’t normally show rebounds. Who wants to watch Andre Drummond grab a bunch of boards just by being big? Nobody. Maybe a few demented Pistons fans from Flint whose minds are addled by their lead-contaminated water. That’s it. No sane person wants to watch bigman rebounds. That’s why I no longer indicate rebounds in…

Troy Williams 18 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2016)

You’d think that James Johnson would’ve gotten more than just a plain old shooting foul after maliciously trying to end Troy Williams nascent NBA career by pushing the rookie in the back during a dunk attempt. I mean, when I saw it, I got some seriously bad flashbacks. Andrew Bogut going up for the dunk,…

Dion Waiters 28 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2016)

Do you ever wonder what happens to the spiders that crawl on your wall and then the second you turn your head they disappear and you don’t even know where they went and they could be anywhere? I do. I wonder that a lot. No, the spider isn’t some metaphorical reference to Dion Waiters. We’re…

Anthony Morrow 21 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2016)

Here’s a list of “good” three-point shooters currently on the Oklahoma City Thunder roster: -Victor Oladipo -Anthony Morrow Ignore those other dudes who are shooting over 40% from deep on that team. Those dudes don’t count, because who the heck considers Joffrey Lauvergne or Jerami Grant good three point shooters? I don’t. So the Thunder…

Kristaps Porzingis 25 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2016)

If “Unicorn” is really going to be Kristaps Porzingis’ nickname of choice (supplanting my own nomination of “Krispy”), then any or all of the following things need to happen: -Kristaps needs to gallop down the court like a horse after making a three -Kristaps needs to make a “horn” with his finger and/or fist after…
