Eric Moreland 10 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2018)

It fills me with an unexplainable sense of joy and contentment to finally be able to make an Eric Moreland highlight video. He was an extremely marginal player his first two years in the league, absolutely on the fringiest fringe of the margins of the NBA. In those two seasons with Sacramento, he appeared in…

Stanley Johnson 19 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2018)

Due to life circumstances, I was unable to watch last night’s Bucks-Pistons game, and it’s a good thing that those circumstances came up, because I would have been PISSED OFF TO HELL AND BACK while watching the free-falling Pistons led by Blake “Superstar Shooting 40%” Griffin just totally demolish the Bucks. Watching Stanley Johnson embarrass…

Jarell Martin 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2018)

Jarell Martin: a lite version of Nikola Jokic? Let’s do a quick rundown: Can shoot threes: check. Can pass the ball: check. Can shoot midrange jumpers: check. Can hit crafty hook shots from the post: probably sometimes! Is a future All-Star: only if you believe. Can get triple-doubles on a regular basis: Jarell is being…

Andrew Harrison 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2018)

Last season’s version of Andrew Harrison would have been the perfect tank commander. This year’s version? Still a pretty good tank commander, but you’d prefer your tank commander to shoot 32% from the field while starting at the PG position and playing 20 MPG. Honestly, I think the Grizzlies should start Mario Chalmers instead of…

Montrezl Harrell 22 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2018)

I’m just going to put it out there: in the limited minutes Montrezl Harrell receives, he’s a beast. I don’t know what his defense is like (remember, DTB doesn’t care about defense), but his offensive game is all about POWER. He uses his POWER to over-POWER his POWER-less defenders. POWERFULLY (ignore all his hook shots…

Clint Capela 22 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (2/28/2018)

The last time the Rockets played the Clippers (or maybe it was two times ago?) we had that awesome story where Chris Paul told his entire Rockets squad about a secret passageway to the Clippers’ locker room, so a bunch of dudes showed up unannounced in the Clippers’ locker room ready to beat the snot…

Dwight Powell 21 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (2/28/2018)

Before tonight’s dunking festival, Dwight Powell was 25th in the league in completed jammeroonis. He made 7 more tonight, so he’ll probably be top 20 by the time the stats update. But that is still unacceptable. Powell has proven that if you throw it somewhere in the vicinity of the rim, he’ll go up and…

Jakob Poeltl 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2018)

I don’t know why I was expecting a Jokic-esque passing performance from Jakob “Blake Griffin’s Hillbilly Cousin” Poeltl when I looked at the boxscore tonight. Actually, I do know why: because he’s a Euro. He’s not really a Euro, though. Euros in the NBA come from former Yugoslav countries, or Lithuania, or from German/Spain/France/Italy. Austria…

Otto Porter 29 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2018)

Everyone keeps saying that Otto Porter looks so much like Wilt Chamberlain that he could be his son, but does anyone else think he kinda looks like Rasheed Wallace too? No? Just me? Screw you guys. I think he looks like Sheed sort of. If he had a headband you wouldn’t be able to tell…

Manu Ginobili 17 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2018)

Normally I don’t like it when NBA players shoot floaters, because floaters are a horrible type of shot that only players who can’t create other looks for themselves shoot, but I’ll give Manu Ginobili a pass on this one. He’s super old. He can move, but every movement increases the chances that his joints will…
