Nikola Vucevic 24 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2018)

Watch the clock at the 0:52 point of this video. Notice how it’s not ticking down the seconds even though the ball is obviously in play? It was that way for about thirty seconds of game time and I don’t know why nobody did anything to fix it. I mean, it’s plainly obvious to me…

Dennis Smith Jr. 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/24/2018)

Unless something changes in the next nine games, Dennis Smith Jr. will finish the season with negative win-shares. You know that win-shares are the best and most representative stat ever invented because they always line up with what the so-called “eye test” tells you. In this case, the eye test tells me that DSJ is…

Andrew Harrison 20 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/24/2018)

I don’t know how much longer I can keep up the Andrew Harrison highlights. Every Grizzlies game fills me with dread. Will this be another game where Harrison scores 18 points and has 10 assists? Will he get fewer assists but a slightly larger amount of points? Harrison actually has a nice, smooth game. If…

Kyle Kuzma 25 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2018)

What was the ratio of Grizzlies fans to Lakers fans at this game? This game IN MEMPHIS. Based on the loudness of the “Kuuuuuuuuz” chants every time Kyle Kuzma did something (I didn’t hear any chants when he was doing nothing, but they could’ve existed), I’d say it was 90/10 in favor of the Lakers….

Mario Hezonja 14 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2018)

29 other GMs around the league are going to be so impressed by this video. Well, maybe not this video particularly (though I know you’re reading this, Earvin), but the performance that this video showcases. Mario Hezonja only had 14 points, but he accomplished a prestigious feat: the “scrub by five”, where a scrub/role-player gets…

Aaron Gordon 29 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/24/2018)

OFFICIAL DAYS UNTIL NO MORE AARON GORDON ON DTB COUNTDOWN: 19 DAYS It might be even lower than that, if he doesn’t play in the last few Magic games (he almost certainly won’t play in the final one) because that’s just how tanking teams do things. Gordon is one of the first players I’ve really…

Anthony Tolliver 25 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/24/2018)

Anthony Tolliver is having the best season of his career, and does anyone care? Whenever I ask that question, the answer is uniformly “no”. No one cares. Not even Pistons fans care, because they are beyond caring about anything except Little Caesar’s Pizza at this point. I care, but I don’t count. I’ve always like…

Tony Snell 18 Points/0 Rebounds/0 Assists/0 Steals/0 Blocks Full Highlights (3/23/2018)

The only contribution that Tony Snell made to the box-score last night, other than his scoring, was one personal foul. That’s it. He didn’t do anything else. In that sense, this video is about as close to “full highlights” as you’re ever going to see on YouTube. I thought I was providing “full highlights” with…

Nick Young 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/23/2018)

So Curry injured himself again in his first game back from an injured ankle. You and I both know what that means: Nick Young as the first option on offense! He scored a bunch in the fourth quarter of this one sans Curry, and if Curry isn’t back for the next game (RIP), Young should…

Marcus Morris 30 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2018)

This is the Marcus Morris that the Celtics hoped they were getting when they traded Avery Bradley to the Pistons for him. The kind of Marcus Morris that shoots three-pointers really well. The kind of Marcus Morris that has the speed and power to take the ball inside when the situation calls for it. The…
