I’m really digging Justise Winslow’s high-arcing one-foot-way-forward shooting form this year. He decided that whatever he was doing wasn’t working, so something something lining up the guide hand or whatever. His free-throws still aren’t very good, and I’m skeptical that his three-point shooting is for real, but until he regresses severely next year, I’ll call…

Kyle Collinsworth 13 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/4/2018)
Warning: the final bucket in this video might be the lamest one of the year. In a video with only a precious few non-assist buckets, that increases the lameness factor by an astounding percentage. Also, a bunch of his legit buckets were floaters, which are also lame (on account of floaters being the sole provenance…
Read MoreRodney McGruder 14 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2018)
OFFICIAL DTB REMINDER: Rodney “Rude McGrude” McGruder started 65 games for the Heat last season as a rookie. He scored 6.4 points per game. The only 50-game starters that season who had a lower scoring average than McGruder were: 1. Luke Babbitt (4.8 PPG, also for the Heat LOL [lots of laughs]) 2. Domantas Sabonits…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 19 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2018)
Marco Belinelli again shows us that he doesn’t care about shot selection at all. He’s been playing this way since he left the Spurs, and maybe he played that way at his other stops prior to San Antonio (my memory is fuzzy and the videos I could reference to remind myself have all been deleted…
Read MoreJ.J. Redick 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/4/2018)
I’ve never really thought of J.J. Redick as an assist-prone player; in his past two seasons, he only had two games at or above the five-assist mark. That wasn’t a problem for me because his shooting skill is so great that there shouldn’t be any reason for him to pass; most possessions where he ends…
Read MoreStanley Johnson 19 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2018)
Stanley Johnson has been effective in his last two games, scoring 17 points (and completely dominating Demarre Carroll) in the last one against Brooklyn before scoring 19 points (and completely dominating Marco Belinelli) in this one. As of now, April is shaping up to be a way better month for Johnson than March was; in…
Read MoreDejounte Murray 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/4/2018)
I thought this game would be a career-high for Dejounte Murray, since he’s not exactly what you’d call a high-profile scorer, but it turns out that I totally forgot about that time his rookie year when he randomly scored 24 points. That game was way more anomalous than this one. Murray played eight minutes a…
Read MoreChanning Frye 19 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2018)
I love how Channing Frye can just arrive at a new team and instantly make “better” players obsolete. First he did it in Cleveland by competently standing in for Kevin Love, making fans across the world realize that Frye actually fit better into the Cavs system because he didn’t need the ball all the time…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 30 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2018)
Kyle Kuzma has some pretty hook shots. A lot of players only shoot running hook shots when their drives to the basket are disrupted and they’ve ended up somewhere where they didn’t expect, but with Kuzma it feels like part of a plan when he shoots those things. I don’t know if I’m just romanticizing…
Read MoreAaron Harrison Career High 13 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2018)
Aaron Harrison made as many shots tonight as he did in the first two seasons of his career combined. If that sentence didn’t convince you to watch this video, then you are beyond help. Go watch some Kobe highlights or something. Harrison has made a few more shots this year with the Mavericks (up to…
