Allen Crabbe 25 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2018)

I would be mad about the pair of end-of-shot-clock threes that Allen “Crabbe Festival” Crabbe hit in crunch time, but the Bucks really did not deserve to win this game. In fact, I’m happier that he did hit those threes. There needs to be sadness in Milwaukee tonight. Sadness over the fact that they literally…

Wade Baldwin 14 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2018)

Bojan Bogdanovic just got done handing Kevin Durant’s nuts to him on a silver platter, but this one is even better: Wade Baldwin the Fourth pretty much made James Harden the Zeroth into an injured butt-baby. I actually almost felt sort of bad for Harden, because of how bad he was getting devastated, but then…

Bojan Bogdanovic 28 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/5/2018)

I definitely think that Kevin Durant is a good enough player where he should be able to carry whatever team he is on into not getting BTFOed by the Pacers by 20 points. That might be a hot take or whatever they call opinions that are too correct for general consumption, but that’s what I…

Justise Winslow 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/4/2018)

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…

Rodney 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…

Marco 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…

J.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…

Stanley 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…

Dejounte 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…
