Michael Beasley 18 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)

I am happy to report that Michael Beasley has retained a little bit of the insane scoring punch that he offered to Houston last year. I was pretty much convinced that the second he stepped foot in Milwaukee, he’d lose any trace of his former scoring abilities, chucking futilely in the vein of failed Bucks…

Malcolm Brogdon 22 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)

I continue to be greatly impressed by how solidly solid Malcolm Brogdon is. He’s still a rookie, so he still will sometimes make bad mistakes like the bad inbound pass near the end of this one (WTF WHY PASS TO PARKER), but for the most part he is as solid as a really solid solid…

Allen Crabbe Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)

The Portland Trailblazers paid Allen Crabbe a lot of money. He went from getting paid under a million dollars per year to raking in 18.5 million. With that kind of increase in compensation, they were probably expecting at least a slight bump in production. Not so. The Crabbey Patty is doing almost exactly the same…

DeMarre Carroll Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)

DeMarre Carroll tied a career high in points tonight, a fact that went totally unmentioned by the Raptors commentators. I understand that enthusiasm wanes a little bit when your team is losing, but come on. You have to be professional about it. Instead of mentioning that Carroll had scored the highest amount of points that…

Montrezl Harrell 28 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2017)

Quick quiz: in light of Montrezl “Mon-Trezzle” Harrell putting up sick scoring games on a regular basis, how screwed is Clint Capela right now? a) Not screwed at all since he is better than Harrell and will prove it when he comes back from injury b) Only a little bit screwed because he can probably…

DTB’s Official NBA Power Rankings (Week 10)

This week’s biggest busts: Pelicans -6, Grizzlies -4, Wizards -4, This week’s biggest successes: Pacers +5, Trail Blazers +5, Clippers +4 1. Golden State Warriors (31-6, 2-1 this week) (last week: #1 [2-1] +0) The people of Georgia (the country, not the state, you ignorant mud-crawling moron) have come through in the clutch, voting Zaza…

Langston Galloway 20 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2017)

Question: will Langston Galloway, at any point in his career, shoot above 40% from the field for an entire season? He’s always been around the 39% mark, so it seems like he should be able to do it at least once as long as he’s not on a team that expects too much out of…

Tim Hardaway Jr. 22 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2017)

One of the rumors that emerged in the aftermath of the Kyle Korver trade was that Tim Hardaway Jr. was being dangled in trade offers. The expected return? A second-round pick. Remember, the Hawks traded him straight-up for their freshly-drafted first-rounder, Jerian Grant. Don’t try to tell me that Hardaway Jr.’s trade value has gone…

Dewayne Dedmon 15 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2017)

Dewayne Dedmon got a late start to his basketball career, not playing until halfway through high school because his crazy Jehovah’s Witness mom didn’t want him serving two masters (the coach being the “bad” master, and God being the “good” master). If he had started in elementary school like every other normal kid, would he…

Brandon Jennings 17 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2017)

Brandon Jennings got ejected from this game with 21 seconds left to go, but it happened in the backcourt while everybody else was busy playing basketball in the frontcourt, so there was no good video angle for it. It wasn’t even really a fight, anyway. Joe Young must have said something to him and he…
