Taurean Prince 16 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2017)

Here is a complete list of the Hawks players who have more points than Taurean Prince in this series against the Wizards: Paul Millsap Dennis Schroder The Hawks won this game, but that list is not a good sign. It’s way too short! Even worse, looking at their roster, there aren’t even that many players…

Dennis Schröder 27 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/22/2017)

Dënniß ßchrööder’s stats have definitely benefited from him getting his own team this season. Well, like half a team. The other half is Paul Millsap’s. But it’s still a lot more than he had before, when Jeff Teague was taking all his partially-deserved minutes. It’s still up for debate whether his preponderance of stats means…

Tony Snell 19 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2017)

The Bucks aren’t going to win many games where Tony Snell is the only player who shows up. Did I type “many”? I meant “any”. The Bucks aren’t going to win any games where Tony Snell is the only player who shows up. Not trying to diss Snell here, because I continue to be extremely…

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute 15 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2017)

Everybody (including me) gets on the Clippers’ case for consistently failing to acquire any kind of decent small forward to compliment their Paul/Redick/Griffin/Jordan core (a core which might not be around next season). And it’s true that the acquisitions of Wesley Johnson (LOL [lots of laughs]), Paul Pierce, and Alan Anderson haven’t really paid off…

George Hill 26 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2017)

I’m piloting a new online program tentatively called “Hill Shills”. How it works is I recruit unemployed males aged 18-25 from various message boards and gaming communities to spam George Hill-related comments on every NBA-themed video on YouTube. Video about LeBron James? There’s twenty dudes in the comment section saying “George Hill better than LeBum…

Taj Gibson 20 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2017)

Taj Gibson’s twenty-point outburst in game three is the first time in this series that a non-Westbrook player has scored twenty or more. Andre Roberson of all people came closest when he scored eighteen, but Taj became the first to have his point total be a two-digit number starting with the number 2. There are…

Kyle Anderson 15 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2017)

I found it funny that the only guy who Kyle “Slo-Mo” Anderson could take one-on-one in this game was Vince Carter, the one wing in the league who might be slower than Slo-Mo himself. Even then, he could only abuse the matchup a few times, and relied on his sweet midrange game to get him…

Thon Maker 11 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2017)

It’s totally blowing my mind right now that Thon Maker is contributing as the starter on a playoff team. This is not something I expected going into the season (neither the contributing part or the playoff team part). Malcolm Brogdon, sure. But not Maker. He’s not contributing a ridiculous amount, mind you, but he’s playing…

Khris Middleton 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/20/2017)

Khris Middleton pretty much dominated the first 6 minutes of this game with his scoring. It didn’t even matter that he only scored 9 more points the rest of the game; the Raptors withered quickly under his initial assault, and it was all mop-up duty after that. The Rip Hamilton comp that was thrown out…

DTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Month (April 2017 Dunkilation)

It was past midnight, and the park was quiet. Nick stood in front of the basketball hoop with a ball in his hands, but didn’t move. This was the first test. Had his months of hard work and strict adherence to the workout plan paid off? He would soon find out, and the thought made…
