Tyreke Evans is playing the best basketball of his life right now. Here, in the 9th year of his career. He’s not quite the distributor that he once was forced to be, but his vastly improved scoring makes up for it. He’s setting a career high in both efficiency and volume. I didn’t expect this…

Luke Babbitt 20 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Before tonight, Luke Babbitt ranked as the 22nd most accurate three-point shooter OF ALL TIME. Out of all the dudes who somehow found themselves wearing the uniform of an official NBA franchise, only 21 of them shoot/shot threes better than Babbeast. And I actually just recalculated things taking tonight into account because of my manic…
Read MoreDTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Month (October/November 2017 Dunkilation)
The decrepit gymnasium, from the outside, made no indication that it was occupied or even usable. The man approached it cautiously, looking around not only to ensure he wasn’t being watched, but also to verify that he was at the right location. His large gray overcoat, worn as a sort of anonymizing disguise, complemented the…
Read MoreJerian Grant 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/1/2017)
If there are any future NBA players watching this video (and there damn well better be), take note of the end of it. You see how Jerian Grant made a three-pointer as time expired in a lost game? Those are the kind of shots you need to be prepared to take if you want a…
Read MoreDarius Miller 15 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)
In a way, the fact that Darius Miller is having a good season for the Pelicans just exposes the Pelicans FO’s inability to construct a sensible roster around Anthony Davis (and now DeMarcus Cousins as well). If the Pelicans could actually sign legit NBA role-players, they wouldn’t need to reach into the bottom of the…
Read MoreMarkieff Morris 23 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)
What is the official threshold for the amount of games you’re allowed to “work your way back from injury”? Is it fifteen? More? Less? Because Markieff Morris just played his fifteenth game back from injury, and one of the commentators said he was still coming back from injury, but I’m sitting here thinking “that sure…
Read MoreZach Randolph 25 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)
Zach Randolph approached the Krispy Kreme store quietly. It was two in the morning, and the store was dark, empty of its usual lines of donut-seeking customers. Now he would be the only one in line. Thankful for the store’s location in the middle of a sprawling concrete expanse of shopping centers and big-box stores,…
Read MoreCristiano Felicio 12 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)
Cristiano “The Brazilian Shaq” Felicio (or “The Babyface Shaq”, take your pick) made some waves in the offseason for having such a good agent that the Bulls decided to give him a four-year contract where he gets paid eight million dollars per year. This was after he averaged 5/5 on 58% shooting the year before….
Read MoreBen McLemore 14 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)
I just want Ben McLemore to be a solid bench contributor in the NBA. Is that so much to ask? The stardom that many had hoped for is not going to happen unless cybernetics are involved. But solid role-player solidity is still within reach. He has the tools: a smooth jumper and soaring springiness. I…
Read MoreAlec Burks 24 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)
Two good games in a row for Alec Burks? My basketball-reference-fu is not so strong tonight, so I’m just going to assume that the last time that happened was approximately two decades ago. It’s been a while, at least. If he makes it three in a row next game, I can safely say that that…
