We all suspected it at the time, but now our thoughts are confirmed: Nemanja Bjelica’s 24 point outburst a few weeks ago was nothing more than a mirage, a random aligning of the planets to produce a far above average scoring output. It wasn’t an indicator of Nemanja turning a corner, or getting more confident,…

Kyle O’Quinn 20 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
Kyle “Irish Black Santa” O’Quinn, once upon a time, drew the ire of the Knicks fanbase for not being nearly as good as they had hoped when they signed him. Like, they weren’t happy at all. He was touted as being a stretch-four type after a semi-successful final year in Orlando, then came in and…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 17 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
The prevailing narrative around Brandon Ingram said that he was a raw rookie who would not be able to contribute meaningfully right away. And, if you ask Lakers fans, they would echo those sentiments. They would claim that his current production is what they expected, maybe even that he is surpassing their expectations. I have…
Read MoreJoel Embiid 25 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
What do you think Joel Embiid is thinking about in the thumbnail? He looks quizzical, almost bewildered. Context: he had just canned a three that ended an 8-minute scoring drought for the 76ers. Seeing as I am an expert in sports psychology, I think I have a few ideas: -Shirley Temples -How he is holding…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 20 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
What’s going on with Aaron Gordon? Is active neglect at the hands of Scott Skiles better or worse than the ill-suited role Vogel is awkwardly jamming him into? Is he taking too many jumpers? I bet he’s taking too many jumpers because Frank Vogel wants him to be Paul George. Just take a gander at…
Read MoreJustin Anderson 15 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2016)
Mavs fans may have unnecessarily hyped Justin Anderson last year when he put together a few decent games and looked okay in the playoffs. Now he’s getting more minutes than expected on a depleted Mavericks team and it hasn’t really been working out for him. At this point he doesn’t look like anything more than…
Read MoreRyan Anderson 29 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2016)
In this episode of DTB’s Honesty Hour, where DTB sits in front down with his fans and only tells plain facts unmolested by lies or deceit, we’re going to talk about Ryan Anderson. Specifically, how good Ryan Anderson is supposed to be in the mystical D’Antoni system. Remember, this is Honesty Hour, so I’m going…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 28 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2016)
Evan “The Fournicator” Fournier is now the sole top dog on the Magic thanks to the benching/regression of one Nikola Vucevic. Unfortunately, a team with Fournier as the top dog is probably not going to be very good, as we’re finding out right now. He’s scoring efficiently and with volume, which is all you can…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 15 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2016)
It is time for Joe Ingles to impart some of his Australian wisdom on Dante Exum. The most important topic for the wisdom to cover would be “how to play effective basketball despite being a crappy player”. There is no reason that Jinglin’ Joe should be in the league. None. He is the perfect person…
Read MoreGordon Hayward 32 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/1/2016)
You know how hard it is to make highlights while watching a game at the same time? It’s frickin’ hard! If this “Gordon Hayward” highlight vid just ends up being a bunch of random clips from the Jazz-Heat game, you now know the reason; I was completely distracted the entire time. Can you blame me…
