Jerian Grant: worst starting point guard in the league yeah or nah? Don’t think about it too hard: the answer is a solid “nah” because Grant is no longer the starting point guard for the Bulls. He started the first fourteen games, but has been benched in the last three games for Kris Dunn, who…

Spencer Dinwiddie 23 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
After the sudden and tragic ending of Linsanity, Dinsanity continues apace in Brooklyn. I don’t want to sound like I’m happy that someone got injured, but I wasn’t going to get to do Jeremy Lin videos, and DinDins wasn’t going to get the playing time to show his stuff. Showcasing the unleashed talents of Spencer…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
Fun fact: Bojan Bogdanovic is only averaging a point or two less than Nikola Jokic per game. Since points per game is the ultimate determinant regarding how good players are compared to others, that means Bogdanovic is only very slightly worse than Jokic. In any case, he is a top-three eastern European player. Which means…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 16 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
Fred “Vleet of Foot” VanVleet: Toronto Raptors backup point guard. That means we can expect more of this in the upcoming games, at least until Delon Wright comes back. There’s no way Lorenzo Brown is going to be taking minutes away from anybody, so playing time for the Vleeter is pretty much guaranteed. He’d already…
Read MoreJaMychal Green 21 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
People often ask if this All-Star or that All-Star will be remembered 30, 40 years from know. It’s a good question, and it helps illustrate how fleeting NBA stardom can be, even if it seems incredibly radiant at this very moment. But a more pertinent question is this: will anyone remember JaMychal Green three years…
Read MoreLance Stephenson 18 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
It is confirmed: Lance Stephenson is incapable of playing well on any team that isn’t the Pacers. He just can’t do it. Something about the Pacers logo and colors makes him (sometimes) play up to his full potential. Games like this for Lance are getting rarer and rarer, sadly. It’s great to see, when it…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 28 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
New candidate for DTB’s “Craziest Line Uttered By an NBA Commentator” award: “I feel like I’m in a macaroni and cheese commercial”. Don’t we all, Scott Hastings. Don’t we all. This is right up there with “I took a look at Baynes in the shower…”. I don’t think it quite tops Tommy Heinsohn’s inexplicable admission…
Read MoreTerry Rozier Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
For some reason I was getting the impression that Celtics fans weren’t too pleased with how “Scary” Terry Rozier was performing this year. I don’t watch tons of Celtic games, but it looks like he’s had a few good games already this season. The problem is, he’s shooting 34 percent on the season from the…
Read MoreCourtney Lee 26 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
This is Courtney Lee’s career high in points if you ignore that year he played for the Nets and scored 12 ppg (coincidentally the same amount of games they won that year LMAO). Lee got way too many minutes relative to his skill level that season, and any accomplishments from that time should rightfully be…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 29 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
The Nets are surprisingly good this season, kind of, but their current center rotation is really iffy. And it gets even iffier when they face a team like the Blazers who have a big banger manning the pivot. Nurkic is one of the most physical players in the league, and the Nets combined frontline of…
