Jrue Holiday 33 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/17/2018)

If I could do it all over again, I would have, at the beginning of the season, unilaterally excluded Jrue Holiday from my channel. He ended up averaging 19/6 on 49% shooting and is obviously falls outside the stated scope of this channel. But his inclusion in these hallowed halls of highlights was based on…

Terry Rozier 23 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (4/17/2018)

Who even needs Marcus Smart anymore? He’s still sitting on the bench in a suit due to having him gotten into a fight with a framed picture (the framed picture won, hence the suit and the bench-sitting), but it doesn’t even matter because Terry Rozier is more than happy to absorb all the extra minutes….

Jaylen Brown 30 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2018)

That final banked in Jaylen Brown three didn’t even make me mad. I have transcended such simple human emotions as “anger”. I am now capable of watching any basketball game as a fully neutral observer, my mind unclouded by primitive tribalistic feelings. This is a good development for me, because if I had to watch…

Khris Middleton 25 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2018)

Trade everybody but Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo. No, I’m NOT being reactionary. You’re the one who’s being reactionary right now. My mind is clear and unbiased by recent events, and I say with truthful factuality that those two players are the only players who are worth keeping around for next year. Maybe Jason Terry…

Ty Lawson 14 Points/8 Assists Wizards Debut Full Highlights (4/17/2018)

It’s always cool to see a fresh young foreign player come in to the league and make an impact right away. Ty Lawson, who is Chinese, didn’t manage to stick with the Wizards after preseason this year, but they liked what they saw from him in his domestic league, so they picked him up for…

Mike Scott 20 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2018)

There was a part of the season, around the middle of December, where Mike “The Threegional Manager” Scott was the hottest player in the league. He wasn’t putting up insane scoring numbers, but he was ultra-efficient in limited minutes, without even the aid of free-throws. I was hyped. I compared him favorably to Jabari Parker…

Patty Mills 21 Points Full Highlights (4/16/2018)

The Spurs don’t have an obvious #2 guy behind LaMarcus Aldridge. Maybe that’s cool for people who self-righteously support teams who “play the right way” with “teamwork” and “no egos” but my simple little brain prefers a clearly-defined team hierarchy where there is a first banana, a second banana, and preferably a bunch of sequentially-numbered…

James Johnson 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/16/2018)

This is why everyone with half a brain considers James Johnson to be the same as LeBron James but a little worse at everything (except not being a wimpy flopper). This game right here. Not an outrageous statistical performance by any means, but he made his presence felt in all areas of the game, and…

Dario Saric 23 Points Full Highlights (4/16/2018)

Okay, so the 76ers aren’t going to sweep their way to their first chip with their new core. Once a team has lost a game, that means, by definition, that sweeps aren’t happening anymore. Doesn’t seem fair, but I didn’t write the dictionary. That loser Merriam and that douchebag Webster wrote it. And, given the…

Derrick Rose 16 Points Full Highlights (4/15/2018)

Derrick Rose now holds the dubious distinction of being the youngest former MVP to be “demoted” to my channel. At age 29 (not even that old), he has been judged by yours truly to have worsened as a player enough to qualify for DTB highlight videos. Unlike the day when I decided that I finally…
