The Raptors bench, led once again by Fred “Vleet of Voot” VanVleet regained tonight some of the mojo they had lost, and at the perfect time. Against the Cavaliers feat. LeBron James. On national TV. The Cavaliers ended up getting embarrassed on the strength of the Raptors’ reserves, with VanVleet just one of many who…

Montrezl Harrell 25 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/11/2018)
Montrezl “Montreal With a Z Instead of an A” Harrell was the clear beneficiary of Milos Teodosic’ slick passing tonight. I went through this vid and calculated it all up, and it turns out that he would have had negative 4 points if Teodosic wasn’t out there feeding him easy stuff right at the rim….
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 22 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2018)
Tonight was a highly anticipated battle between the two newest Serbs in the NBA: Milos Teodosic and Bogdan Bogdanovic. Not everyone got the chance to watch the game, and highlights don’t tell the whole story, so with the power of analytical factual true analysis, I will attempt to derive who had the better game, who…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 21 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2018)
The NBA keeps talking about wanting to put a team in Mexico City. I foresee a number of problems with that plan (DTB’s fun fact of the day: Mexico City is at a higher altitude than Denver), but I won’t go into that now. They have to think differently. Take a look at the NFL,…
Read MoreRobin Lopez 20 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
There was a time, early in the season, when Robin Lopez was probably the Bulls’ best player. All the young talent was looking young and untalented, while he was getting buckets and being a reliable player. Now some of that young talent is looking pretty sweet, and Lopez is just more of the same. I…
Read MoreDenzel Valentine 20 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
Denzel Valentine is taking pullup threes now. I don’t know if this is something he’s always done and they’re just now going in, but he’s definitely taking and making them at this point in his career. Good. That’s what he should be doing, because, don’t forget, he was one of the best players in all…
Read MoreCoby White 23 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
It’s been a few games now, so I can safely say that I liked Coby White’s hair more when it was a big poofy firework of freedom instead of being all restrained and tied back. That’s the same opinion I had when I first saw the change, but I thought, you know, maybe I’d get…
Read MoreBismack Biyombo 14 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
Bismack Biyombo is getting paid 17 million dollars this year to average 5/5/0/0/1. Next year he’ll also be getting paid 17 million dollars. The year after that, he has a player option, which means that he’ll be getting paid another 17 million dollars, unless his agent advises him that he can get a max contract…
Read MoreJaMychal Green 20 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
JaMychal Green is the perfect player for the gritty, hard-nosed culture that the Grizzlies have built for the past decade or so. He rebounds, he hustles, he gets layups (LAME-ups), he probably plays defense, and he doesn’t complain about touches like some kind of diva bitch. Theoretically, Grizzlies fans love him. They might not watch…
Read MoreTyreke Evans 28 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
Whenever the TV feed for a game randomly gets replaced by the in-arena Jumbotron feed, as it did for the clip of Tyreke Evan’s first bucket, it feels really spooky and ominous, like I’m seeing something that wasn’t meant for my eyes. It also feels like that, by me watching it and then redistributing it,…
