When the masked intruder bursts in through my front door, I barely react. There is a part of me that was almost expecting this intrusion into my home. I am sitting at my kitchen table, enjoying a late breakfast of S’mores flavor Pop-Tarts, a just reward for having finished another productive day of highlight compilation….

Jonathon Simmons 20 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
It’s been a while since I brought you an episode of “DTB’s Honesty Hour,” where I sit in front of my viewership and only tell true things while not telling any false things, but I figured now would be a good time to produce another episode since I’m in a truthful mood right now. Plus,…
Read MoreLucas Nogueira Career High 17 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
It’s weird. Whenever Jonas Valanciunas has a good game, I write a bunch of stuff pandering to his fans (who are mostly Lithuanians). Things like “Dwane Casey hates Jonas Valanciunas” and “Jonas Valanciunas would average 20/10 if he was used effectively”. But when I make a Lucas Nogueira highlight video, the opportunity arises to hype…
Read MoreJamal Murray 20 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
Two good games in a row now for Jamal Murray. Wow! The pessimist in me (which is actually all of me) had left him for dead. Players who start off seasons slowly usually just get slower and slower until they’re playing 30 minutes a game and putting up goose eggs across the whole boxscore. Not…
Read MoreDion Waiters 33 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
You know, when Dion Waiters put up that three as time expired to potentially tie the game and set it into another overtime, I was pretty sure it was going to go in. It looked so GOOD. I’ve seen so many improbable game-saving sequences that having Waiters invoke Waitersanity and score 8 in the last…
Read MoreMarreese Speights 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
After tonight’s maniacal chuckfest, Marreese Speights is attempting 13.6 threes per 36 this year. He’s not on the Warriors anymore and hasn’t been for a while, but their spirit still lives on in his heart. The spirit of chuck. The Magic don’t have tons of minutes for him given their bigman situation, but after seeing…
Read MoreBrandon Paul 18 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
Brandon “Smooth and Chocolatey” Paul hasn’t really been on my proverbial radar screen so far. I knew he existed, but before tonight I had him combined with Derrick White as one super-rookie. No longer! Now he exists as a discrete entity in my neuronal sludge, nestled loosely and slightly askew between Brandon Jennings and Chris…
Read MoreRodney Hood 25 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
When was the last time you even heard anything about Rodney Hood? Utah fans can’t answer this question, I’m sure they hear about him at least once a month. But fans around the league, are you aware that Hood still exists? I can’t remember when I last read an article or even saw a tweet…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 20 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
Ricky Rubio scored 20 points on nothing but jumpers tonight. No lameups, no free throws, no floaters, no dunks. Not too many assists either. He showed a lot of confidence in his midrange shot near the end of his time in Minnesota, but never anything like this. The Mavericks dared him to shoot, and he…
Read MoreBen Simmons 24 Points/9 Assists/3 Jumpshots Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
BEN SIMMONS JUMPSHOT ALERT EXPIRED! BEN SIMMONS JUMPSHOT ALERT EXPIRED! BEN SIMMONS NOW MAKES JUMPSHOTS SO REGULARLY THAT AN ALERT DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD BEN SIMMONS JUMPSHOT ALERT EXPIRED! It is official: Ben Simmons is a jumpshot shooter/maker. There is no point for the “Ben Simmons Jumpshot Alert” anymore, because it is no longer…
