Last time J.J. Redick was a third banana in the Eastern Conference, he was playing behind Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings on a team with no excitement and no prospects. Now, maybe it’s debatable that he’s even the third option right now, but I say he is, and things are looking a lot better this…

Kyle Anderson 16 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2017)
There’s always a subset of viewers clamoring for more of the “miscellaneous” stats that players accrue, such as assists, blocks, and steals. Since Kyle Anderson is somewhat of an all-around player who will collect small amounts of those stats, I decided to throw my viewership a bone by showing his two blocks and four assists…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 27 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2017)
The stats tell us that Brook Lopez has had trouble adjusting to a different role in Los Angeles. Even after this vintage Blopez performance, he is only averaging 13 PPG on 42% shooting. This is after years and years in Brooklyn (a borough that is actually named after him) where he could be counted on…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 22 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2017)
Another game, another instance of Kyle Kuzma thoroughly outplaying alleged Lakers’ savior Lonzo Ball. I’m fully aware that when Lonzo breaks out and starts taking over the league, all my video descriptions belittling him are going to look really dumb, but I don’t especially care right at this moment. In the here and now all…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 28 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2017)
Caleb Swanigan approached Jusuf Nurkic after the game. “Hey, great game Nurk, Dame might have hit the game-winner but this win was all you, man!” Jusuf, who was seated at his locker, didn’t reply. He simply stared straight ahead, not moving or reacting to the rookie’s congratulations. Caleb turned to a nearby C.J. McCollum. “Yo,…
Read MoreTony Snell 17 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
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…
Read MoreMalcolm 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…
