Sometimes I almost feel like a naturalist making observations of wild animals when I’m chilling out with my 12-foot-tall 3D-printed naked Buddy Hield statue. Just like with animals, there’s not really a good way to figure out what’s going through his mind, so you have to guess based on his behaviors. And if he’s just…

Willie Cauley-Stein 26 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
Kings fans have alleged in the past that Willie Cauley-Stein isn’t as focused on basketball as he should be. Looking at his physical appearance and plugging it into my mental database of stereotypes, I could definitely believe that. He just looks like the kind of guy who would be into a bunch of different hobbies…
Read MoreMike Muscala 14 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
This was definitely a REVENGE GAME for Mike “Muscy Stench” Muscala. Sometime in the middle of the summer, the Hawks traded him in cold blood to the 76ers as part of the Carmelo Anthony trade that saw Melo join the Hawks for all of a day. Five years of loyal service to the Hawks franchise…
Read MoreMitchell Robinson 11 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
I bet if you compiled a list of all the starting centers for the Knicks in the last ten years it would be a really funny list. Good names would be on it like Tyson Chandler (unless that was longer than ten years ago, all sense of time has long departed), plus some funny ones…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
Does it help Markelle Fultz that every time he gets the ball behind the arc that the home crowd begs him to shoot it? I bet it doesn’t. Imagine the pressure, when every soul in the building wants nothing more than for you to prove that you aren’t a bust by making a three. The…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
Nemanja Bjelica was this close, THIS CLOSE, to going back to Europe so he could go back to dominating after a disappointing stint in Minneapolis. A last-minute contract offered by the Kings kept him on this side of the Atlantic, and it turns out that he didn’t need to go back to Europe to dominate….
Read MoreJosh Richardson Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
The Heat need to strike while the iron is hot. Josh Richardson just scored 31, his value has never been higher, so now is the time to trade him for Jimmy Butler. If Riley sweet-talks Thibs enough, maybe he could even make it a straight one-for-one deal. Richardson for Butler. Straight up. I don’t know…
Read MoreAntonio Blakeney Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
If the Bulls tank starts really picking up steam as the season goes on, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Antonio Blakeney drop a 40-burger à la Jordan Crawford. Strange to say about a guy who just now broke the 20-point barrier, but just watch him play. There’s no doubt that he can take the…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 19 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
Ersan Ilyasova is back on the Bucks! The initial excitement has worn off for me a little bit, but it’s still great to see him back where he belongs. You may notice the “vintage” thumbnail image, evocative of the ones I was using around 2015. True DTB historians will remember that the image of Ilyasova…
Read MorePascal Siakam Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
Pascal “SICKam” Siakam was MAD at Ersan Ilyasova early in this one. Taking it right at him multiple teams with success. Ilyasova can only play defense if he’s taking charges; if he’s not doing that, he’ll get toasted by anyone with speed or strength. Siakam has the speed for sure. Strength, yeah, why not. Unlike…
