Wayne Ellington 19 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2017)
Wayne “Beef W” Ellington has really been making it Wayne during this unexpected seven-game winning streak for the Heat. One could even say that he is solely responsible for the winning streak. That’s right. I’m going there. Not only am I going there, I’m ALREADY there. That’s how hyped I am for Beef W’s sweet-looking…

DTB’S FUN* FACT** OF THE DAY***: Shabazz Muhammad is shooting nearly 57% on three-pointers in the month of January. For a guy who has always been regarded as a passable shooter and nothing more, this is pretty crazy. He’s doing it on low volume: just thirty attempts, or a little over a two a game,…

One of the signs of a team in crisis is seriously wack rotations. Playing time is offered and withdrawn at random, players that start one game may not play the next, a healthy DNP turns into 30-plus minutes turns into 5 minutes turns into another DNP. That is where the Bucks are at right now;…

When Danilo Gallinari has a good scoring game, you can be sure of one thing: he shot a lot of free throws to get there. He’s has 10 games of 20 points or more, and all but one featured 8 or more foul shots. Most featured 10+. He’s made more free throws this season than…

One of these good games for Jamal Murray is going to be the good game that propels him out of his extended slump. It’s just a matter of time. He’ll put up some good stats one night, but instead of scoring 3 points the next game on 1 of 7 shooting, he’ll score 20. Then…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 13 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/28/2017)
Willie Cauley-Stein: apparently an unplayably bad basketball player this season? That’s what Kings fans will have you believe; I’m pretty sure they’ve already given up all hope with regards to this dude ever becoming good. I don’t watch Kings games enough to know for sure the quality of Cauley-Stein as a basketball player, so I’ll…
