Fun fact: Tony Snell is currently leading the league in True Shooting Percentage at .725, and in Effective Field Goal Percentage at .708. Now, I don’t know what either of those numbers mean, but I think they’re the kind of numbers where being higher is better. So this looks really good for Snell. Best player…

Malcolm Brogdon 20 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
Another solid game for Malcolm Brogdon. That’s what he is. Solid. Super solid. Solidity comprises a full 50% of his body mass. Want another adjective? Workmanlike. But that has some connotations I don’t want to get into, so we’re gonna stick with solid as the primary adjective to describe Junkyard Brog. I really like this…
Read MoreRobin Lopez 22 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
The first of the Bulls’ broadcast “keys to the game” was this: “Get Markkanen the ball”. That’s a good start, actually a lot better than most of the crappy keys to the game that I’m always seeing, but it needs to be amended to: “Get Markkanen AND LOPEZ the ball”. That’s because Lauri Markkanen and…
Read MoreBen Simmons 19 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
Some people have been saying recently that Ben Simmons is too good for my channel. That he has somehow graduated from being eligible for DTB highlights. Well, here’s a news flash for you bozos: every rookie is eligible for my channel. There is no such thing as a rookie who is too good to get…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
Sometimes, no amount of DTB’s highlight magic can fix a video. The end of this particular sampling of Herky-Jerky Nurky highlights is a perfect example: in order to show the final of Nurkic’s three blocks, I have to end the video with Rudy Gobert picking up the blocked shot and powering in a monster two-handed…
Read MoreMaxi Kleber 11 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
This video gets off to a bad start when one of those dopes that ESPN employs to commentate games said “Kebler” instead of “Kleber”. At least he didn’t say “Keebler”, like the brand of cookies, but still, you gotta put some respeck on that name. Maximillian “The Wurzburg Wiener” Kleber, as a player, is basically…
Read MoreJamal Murray 24 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
Jamal Murray: BETTER or WORSE than Flip Murray? Let’s take a look at the facts: TEAM: Jamal Murray has played for just one team, the Nuggets. Flip Murray played for a bunch of different teams, eight by my count, probably because he wasn’t very good. ADVANTAGE: Jamal PPG: Jamal Murray is averaging 10.2 points per…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 22 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
In a previous description I asserted that Jaylen Brown needed to send Gordon Hayward two cards, one a thank-you card for getting injured and freeing up some forward minutes, and one a get-well card for his injury recovery. After this latest Jaylen Brown scoring outburst (which I have taken to calling a “Brownout”), I am…
Read MoreDarren Collison 25 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
I’ve thought for a while that Darren Collison was an underrated point guard. I seem to remember that he struggled with effort issues in the past, or maybe he just thought that he could walk in and have a starting PG spot without doing any work, because a lot of his previous stints with various…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 26 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
In order to advance the cause of scrubs and role players in the NBA, I have come up with a new award for such players who have astounding single-game shooting performances: the SORPWWOAGB award. If you’re too dumb to figure out the acronym without me spelling it out for you, I’m gonna spell it out…
