OFFICIAL DTB PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: While it may seem like Robert Covington is playing well this year, and in fact he probably is playing well this year, he is still not shooting over 40% from the field. Defense is great. Steals are great. Rebounds are great too. But so is efficient shooting, and Covington is…

Juan Hernangomez 15 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2017)
Are Juan and Willy Hernangomez already the best Spanish brother duo in the NBA? Let’s take a look at the facts: -Juan and Willy are young. Marc and Pau are old. -Combined, the Hernangomezes are averaging twelve points per game. Combined, the Gasol brothers are only averaging seven assists per game. Twelve is more then…
Read MoreWill Barton 24 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/20/2017)
The Nuggets have two legit 6MOTY of the year candidates on their team, Will “The Thrill” Barton and Wilson “Ill Will” Chandler, but both of them have started too many games to be reasonably called a “sixth man”. Barton probably wouldn’t win it anyway because he doesn’t score enough points compared to the other players…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 20 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2017)
I will reserve final judgment on Nik Stauskas’ career until after he gets on a team that isn’t dumpster-fiery. That doesn’t mean, however, that I’m going to stop using my “Sucksass” nickname for him, because that thing is really sweet and still relevant. Note that I refuse to use that other nickname for him, a…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 26 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2017)
Nikola Vucevic has a cool name, but it could be even cooler. Well, his last name could be cooler. His first name is already perfect. No improvements to be made there. But his last name, you know, it just lacks a certain zazz that could really put it over the top. For one thing, it…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 16 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/20/2017)
Somehow T.J. McConnell is succeeding in the NBA. No one knows how, but it’s happening. I doubt even the clingiest of his nuthuggers during his Arizona days thought he would be this good at the next level. He’s NINTH this season is raw assists. Out of all the players in the best basketball league in…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes Career High 24 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (3/20/2017)
Fact: Richaun Holmes provides 50% of the funness that Joel Embiid did at a fraction of the injury risk. Fact: Dario Saric provides 50% of the funness that Ben Simmons will at a fraction of the injury risk. Those two facts, their factuality combined, mean that there is no reason that you shouldn’t be watching…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 16 Points/8 Blocks Full Highlights (3/20/2017)
8 is the most shots anyone has blocked in a game this season, tied with both of the Lopez bros. Whiteside is really slacking this year, apparently, because his name is nowhere to be found on this list of dudes who have blocked a lot of shots. That means Gobert, as of right now, is…
Read MoreGary Harris Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2017)
My faith is being tested. When I look out onto the sea of NBA fandom, seeing so few who share my belief, it’s hard. I admit it. It’s hard being one of the only ones who is truly #hypedforgaryharris . I begin to wonder, in my darkest hours, if perhaps Gary Harris isn’t worthy of…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/20/2017)
Nikola Jokic knows what’s up. He knows that if he wants to be one of the league’s premiere players, there is a certain skill that he needs to add to his game. And tonight, after working on it for months, he finally brought it out in a game situation, using it to lead the Nuggets…
