Malcolm Brogdon 20 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2018)

If the season ended right at this very moment, Malcolm Brogdon AKA Brogdog AKA The Junkyard Brog AKA The Cybrog AKA The President would be an inductee into the famed 50/40/90 club. At the time of this writing, he is shooting 50.5% from the floor, 43.2% from behind the long line, and a blistering 100.0%…

Pat Connaughton 15 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/8/2018)

These highlights would be good except for the fact that Reggie Miller keeps pronouncing Connaughton as “Connington”. I don’t know if its just an accent thing or if he’s really just confused by the large amount of letters in Connaughton’s last name. I mean, you gotta put some respeck on this guy’s name. He added…

Eric Bledsoe 26 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/8/2018)

After years of banishment on the unofficial DTB Exclusion List (which has now been codified into the OFFICIAL DTB Exclusion List), Eric Bledsoe makes his much-heralded return to my channel in grand fashion, scoring 26 points on a hyper-efficient 10-of-12 shooting and even throwing in a half-dozen dimes. Not only that, but he pretty much…

Terrance Ferguson 14 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2018)

Ignore Marv Albert when he says that this is a career-high for Terrance Ferguson. He’s old and isn’t losing it, he’s lost it for a long time now. This is definitely not a career-high for Ferguson. Everyone remembers when he dominated the Lakers on national TV by scoring 24 points including some mammoth hammers. Everyone…

Montrezl Harrell 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/8/2018)

Does that thumbnail look really… arty? To you? Like it looks like a piece of art you’d find in a hip restaurant or something? I’m entranced. It’s like somebody painted it and made it look almost real but not quite. Look at those colors. The predominant dark brownish-red. The use of light and shadow. The…

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 19 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2018)

I’ve sort of been ignoring Shai Gilgeous-Alexander this season, and I’m sorry. He scored 11 in his debut, which might be enough points for a second-round rookie, but isn’t enough for an 11th pick like him. Two games later, he scored 12, but since that came so close after his 11, I was like “well…

T.J. Warren 29 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2018)

I managed to get this video done during the timeouts/quarter breaks of the very fun (for me) Bucks vs. Warriors game. I’m having a hard time thinking about anything other than how awesome the Bucks are right now, but that doesn’t mean I’m not hyped for Warren. The Suns lost in horrendous fashion, but who…

Taj Gibson 16 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

“Hey Taj, I know you’re bummed that we lost, but could you at least try to look happy?” Derrick Rose said to his teammate Taj Gibson as they sat together at a table in a Los Angeles club. “No girls want to come over here when you’re hunched over writing stuff in your little diary.”…

Wayne Ellington 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

Wayne “Beef W” Ellington’s last contract saw him get paid almost as much per year (6 million) as he had made in his entire NBA career before he got to the Heat. Now, he’s playing for another one, which, given current trends in the NBA, projects to be even bigger than the contract he’s currently…

Omari Spellman 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

I don’t remember now. Does the Hawks upper management want the in-arena experience to be more “urban” or less “urban”? All I remember is some controversy about it swinging too far in one direction; either it was too urban for the suburbanites who go to the games, or it wasn’t urban enough for the downtown…
