Daniel Theis 17 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2018)

Okay, the Celtics can still be a good team. Their season isn’t over yet. Look what they just did: they beat an undefeated team! Probably the worst undefeated team in history after four games, but the Celtics still did what no one else has been able to. A loss tonight would’ve brought me great joy,…

Ricky Rubio 28 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (10/27/2018)

How much of Ricky Rubio’s offensive output tonight, in the form of both points and assists, could be attributed to the fact that Anthony Davis was out for the Pelicans? You could probably take away most of his layups, and forget about a bunch of those lobs to Gobert. New Orleans, very obviously, doesn’t have…

Donte DiVincenzo 15 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2018)

Donte DiVincenzo showed basically nothing both in Summer League and preseason. I know, because I was waiting earnestly for him to do something, anything, and he didn’t. Unless you count airballing threes as “something”. So it didn’t really make sense for Coach Bud to bring him off the bench as the 7th man only a…

MarShon Brooks 18 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2018)

More than anyone else in the league, MarShon Brooks wished the offseason was only a couple days long so he could keep riding the hot streak he was on to end last year. He only played 7 games, so he was fresh despite averaging 20 during that time. He was the hottest player in the…

Bojan Bogdanovic 25 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2018)

DTB’s Official Bojan Bodanovic Stocks (steals + blocks) update: after tonight’s smothering defensive performance, Bojan Bogdanovic now has one stock on the year. Stocks are the reason that many people thought that Doug McDermott would be a bust; his were extremely low, and players with few of them rarely turn out to be good NBA…

Deandre Ayton 24 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/27/2018)

Deandre Ayton went 12 of 13 tonight. The rest of his teammates? 4 of 75. That’s not a typo. That’s really what they shot. The Suns ended up scoring 34 points and Ayton had 24 of them. I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating in light of recent events (this game): he needs to…

Caris LeVert 21 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2018)

Full disclosure: Caris LeVert needed 23 shot attempts to score 21 points. That’s full-on Jordan Crawford territory. If there was any justice in this world, I would not have made this video. I would have looked at LeVert’s statline, which looks good on the surface, and discarded it once the true nature of his inefficiency…

Buddy Hield 22 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2018)

After the last update on my walking, talking, 3D-printed purple naked Buddy Hield statue, I realized that I didn’t go into as much depth into our zoo trip as I probably should have. It’s a fun story. So here it is. — From our night walks I figured out that Buddy was really into animals…

Kelly Oubre 22 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2018)

Kelly Oubre was sitting in his locker, hunched over a notebook. The pen in his hand scribbled furiously, writing notes, then crossing them out and writing new ones over the top. Dwight Howard happened to walk by. “Hey, what’s that?” he asked. “Notes for your next novel?” Shaking his head, Kelly didn’t even look up….

Nemanja Bjelica 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (10/26/2018)

“Dear Diary, Things are going very badly here in Minnesota. Every passing day brings me closer to the termination of my employment. The relationship between coaching and ownership, always a strained one, is irreparable at this point. My locker room is in shambles, my players hate each other, the fans hate me, and we’re not…
