Ben Simmons was snubbed, by my estimation, about 10 times (Goran Dragic are you serious????) for the All-Star game this year. That sucks for him, and it also sucks for me, because I have to keep making this dude’s highlights until the end of the year where he’ll finally stop being a rookie. Not like…

Pascal Siakam 17 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)
Jonas Valanciunas, shirtless, raised his eyebrows when Pascal Siakam sat next to him. His eyes got even wider when Pascal began to caress his biceps. “Uh, what are you doing man?” Pascal’s attention was fixed on Jonas’ arm muscles as he rubbed them up and down. “Trying to get some of your three-point shooting to…
Read MoreAllen Crabbe 24 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)
For the past few games, Nets fans have been treated to the Allen Crabbe that they thought they were getting when they acquired him from Portland. This new Allen Crabbe actually makes shots some of the time, something that old Allen Crabbe was definitely not doing. Crabbey Patty was looking quite overpaid and quite useless;…
Read MoreRoyce O’Neale 19 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)
Royce “Shaquilee” O’Neale competently manned the starting shooting guard spot last night as Donovan Mitchell got moved fully to the point guard role. That’s great. I love it when rookies play unexpectedly large roles for their team, especially when the rookie is undrafted. The only problem is, Alec Burks is getting completely marginalized. Burks played…
Read MoreJrue Holiday 24 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (2/14/2018)
Nobody even talks about Jrue Holiday when they’re talking about All-Star snubs. Given the “stacked” nature of the point guard position in the Western conference, it wasn’t even a snub; he’s fringe All-Star caliber, but there’s no way for him to make it in the West unless multiple dudes were to get injured. He should…
Read MoreDarius Miller 19 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)
You probably don’t realize it, but the Pelicans currently have on their roster two of the top ten three-point shooters in the NBA by percentage. They have E’Twaun Moore, who’s been quiet lately but is still shooting 43.3% from three (sixth on the list), and they have Darius Miller shooting an even 43.0% from three…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 24 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/14/2018)
DTB’S OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER: Enes Kanter’s assists in this video are really lame. Like, really lame. Four of them are screen-handoffs to Tim Hardaway Jr., who couldn’t miss in the first half; he was a free assist for anybody who passed him the ball. The other one, to Courtney Lee, was actually okay and demonstrated decent…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 17 Points 76ers Debut Full Highlights (2/14/2018)
When Marco Belinelli goes to a new team, the first question I ask myself is, “will the television commentators of his new team pronounce his name with an exaggerated Italian accent that makes me want to die?” I reflexively ask this question in self-defense because one of the commentators for the Hornets (the Charlotte kind…
Read MoreJosh Jackson 22 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)
Josh Jackson continues to be aggressive. He doesn’t care that he just went 4-of-18 in a 46-point loss. He doesn’t care that the Suns can’t win a game anymore. He’s going to go out there and attack the rim in every way that he knows how. Mostly by driving right at it and seeing if…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 23 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)
Kyle Kuzma hasn’t exactly hit the rookie wall, well, maybe he has a little bit, call it the rookie speedbump if you want. He’s still scoring at a decent rate, but it’s decidedly less decent than what he was doing at the beginning of the season. Lots of single-digit affairs after those 30-point games he…
