Brandon Ingram 23 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

Everyone likes to complain about the Jazz still being called the Jazz even though they’re in Utah now, but where is the outrage that the Lakers are still called the Lakers? Last time I checked, which was like an hour ago so I doubt things have changed that much, Los Angeles wasn’t the land of…

Patrick McCaw 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

I would like to issue an alert to all residents of the San Francisco Bay area: It is snowing right now where I am. You might have Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and the rest of those guys, and you might have several recent championships, and a coach who can think, and a track record of…

Rodney Hood 26 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

The scoring gap between Rodney Hood and Donovan Mitchell gets closer by the day. Hood is now .2 points per game behind his rookie teammate. Based on the general hype situation around those two players, I would estimate that Mitchell is averaging 32 points/6 assists while Hood is averaging 0 points/3 farts. I’m done trying…

C.J. Miles 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

For some reason, the Raptors commentators were really obsessed with having C.J. Miles receive and shoot the ball. Maybe they were frustrated with DeRozan’s 0-of-3 or Lowry’s 2-of-7 from three, but it’s not like Miles didn’t attempt enough three-pointers; he took twelve of them, the most of any Raptors player this season. Or maybe they…

Steven Adams 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

In the past I have compared Steven Adams’ statlines to those of his alleged “superstar” teammates in order to make him look like the Thunder’s best player. Let’s try it again and see if it works: Steven “KIWI GOAT” Adams: 8/9 FGs, 9 rebounds Russell “Empty Triple Doubles” Westbrook: 11/22 FGs, 13 assists, 8 rebounds…

Taj Gibson 20 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

Taj Gibson’s heart was aching. Every time he remembered the sight of Karl-Anthony’s naked body slapping against Brianna, a literal jolt of pain went through his chest. He had no desire to eat, socialize, or even play basketball. The only thing he could think of that would ease his mental and spiritual pain was to…

Deyonta Davis 14 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

Another Deyonta Davis highlight vid, another Deyonta Davis layup/dunk exhibition. If Jesus/Santa/Reptilians were really up there listening to my prayers, one of them would have made it so that this video contained a midrange jumper, but nope, it’s just Deyonta getting spoon-fed looks at the rim and him finishing them. Luckily, there are some nice…

Tyreke Evans 32 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

My rule of thumb is that when a player makes more free throws than field goals, you know the highlight video for that player is gonna majorly suck. Studiers of DTB history might remember that, in some of my very first videos, I didn’t even show the free throws because I deemed them too boring….

Will Barton 28 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

Will Barton has been in a bit of slump scoring the ball lately, but has tried to even things out by dropping more dimes than ever. That’s an admirable effort, but the impression I get from Nuggets fans is that he simply has too much ball time for how good he is. I can imagine…

Quincy Acy 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

I already talked about Quincy “Assy” Acy’s inability to make two-point field goals this season, but I’m looking at the stats again and it’s blowing my mind as hard as it did the first time so I think I have to bring it up again. After tonight, 38 threes made versus 11 twos. That’s insane…
