What’s gonna happen to Malcolm Brogdon AKA the Junkyard Brog AKA Brog-Dog AKA Imbroglio AKA The Cybrog now that Eric “I don’t wanna be here” Bledsoe is on the team? I envision a scenario where Brogdon gets shifted to shooting guard for many of his minutes to accommodate Eric Bledsoe’s sole true position, which is…

Robin Lopez 20 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
It’s time for another DTB Quick Quiz, where if you get any answers wrong I terminate your YouTube account forever and you also forfeit your right to ever again hold an NBA-related opinion. Question 1: What adjective best describes the Raptors’ defensive effort on Robin Lopez last night? a.) Weak b.) Pillowy c.) Ineffectual d.)…
Read MoreDanny Green 24 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
Spurs fans can officially stop hating Danny Green now. He’s struggled with his shooting the past two seasons, but early indications this season say that he’s back to being a 40% three-point shooter like he’s supposed to be. He’s also developed the ability to hit shots that aren’t three-pointers, leading to a dramatic increase in…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 21 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
I’ve totally done a 180 on this 12-foot-tall 3D-printed statue of Buddy Hield that I have chilling out in my apartment. After I spent most of last year trying various ways to ignore it or remove it from my life entirely through increasingly desperate means, now this thing is basically my best friend. It’s nice…
Read MoreJustin Jackson 16 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
I bet you can guess what this video description will be about. It should be obvious. If it’s not obvious, you’re a lot smarter person than I am, and maybe you should be writing the descriptions since apparently you have so many more ideas than I do. Here’s the thing. Before this game, I was…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 24 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
Details are leaking out about how wonky the Clippers’ locker room was with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin trying to be co-alpha dogs. I wouldn’t be surprised if details of the violent nature eventually came to light. Griffin getting heated, maybe shoving Paul a little bit, and Paul flopping down a flight of stairs or…
Read MoreDennis Smith Jr. 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
New strategy for the Mavericks: run that lob play between Wes Matthews and Dennis Smith Jr. every time down the court for the whole game. It worked so well on the first possession of the season, as well as the first possession of this game, that I don’t see why they wouldn’t just do it…
Read MoreTyler Zeller 21 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
For reasons that I have yet to discern, people seem to think that Tyler Zeller is total crappy buttface garbage. I admit that I don’t see a whole ton of him besides highlights, but I haven’t really gotten the impression that is horrifically bad or anything. Obviously he could be better, but he’s been competent…
Read MoreSalah Mejri 10 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
After tonight, Salah “The Tunisian Munition” Mejri is averaging almost 6 blocks per 36. Can you say “Mark Eaton”? What about “Manute Bol”? And, unlike last year, he’s not even fouling out in that time! One of the main problems with low-usage shot-blockers is that they tend to foul a heck of a lot. If…
Read MoreMalik Monk 21 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
I’m digging this trend of rookies being the most aggressive shooters on their team. First Donovan Mitchell, now Malik Monk. Monk took 17 shots tonight, one more the Kemba Walker, which is absolutely messed up and should never happen. Love it though! I know what Walker is at this point, but I don’t exactly know…
