Damian Jones 13 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (11/24/2018)

Damian Jones is the next in a long line of centers who get to look really good on the Warriors thanks to the fact that they play on a team stacked with All-Stars and aren’t expected to shoot any shots other than the ones they can reasonably make. How good Jones actually is, however, is…

Jayson Tatum 21 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)

Is rookie-year Jayson Tatum far enough ago, and revered enough, for this performance to count as VINTAGE Jayson Tatum? I would argue that, yes, this 9-of-14 shooting display is reminiscent enough of Tatum’s glory days to be accurately termed a VINTAGE performance from him. I would also say that Tatum’s rookie year, despite being lower-volume…

J.J. Barea 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/24/2018)

I’m having trouble figuring out whether or not the Mavericks are a good team. They’ve won seven of their last nine games after losing seven of their first nine games to open up the season, and they have many of the components of a good team: -Starter-quality backup PG (Barea) -Emerging young stud (Doncic) -Hyper-efficient…

Bryn Forbes 18 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)

One of the lame things about being an NBA player is that your schedule is so tightly-packed that you don’t get to take part in all the activites that normal US Americans get to take part in. You finish a game and then it’s off to the airport to catch another flight or it’s off…

Malcolm Brogdon 23 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)

Quick quiz: how paid is Malcolm “Junkyard Brog” Brogdon gonna get this offseason? a.) Hella paid (think max contract here) b.) Very well paid (twelve to sixteen mil per year) c.) Moderately paid (eight to twelve mil per year) d.) Not very well paid (four to eight mil pear year) e.) Minimally paid (sub four…

Marcus Smart 19 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)

I don’t really understand how Marcus Smart fits in with this iteration of the Celtics, but as long as he continues to torment Celtics fans with his outsized contract and streaky play, I guess I’m fine with him remaining a Celtic. He was re-signed in the off season to be, I assume, the primary backup…

Derrick Rose 22 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)

If I had known that Derrick Rose, he of the multiple knee surgeries, was going to average nearly twenty points per game at age thirty (remember, he’s had multiple knee surgeries, his knee tendons were actually replaced with extra-thick rubber bands), I would have had to think long and hard about his OFFICIAL DTB EXCLUSION…

Buddy Hield 28 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)

When we got into the zoo, I reminded my 12-foot-tall 3D-printed purple plastic sentient naked statue of Buddy Hield that we had to be really, really careful. I told him that the people who run the zoo don’t like it if people come in after it’s closed for the night, even if they don’t intend…

Davis Bertans 17 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2018)

I want to send out a sincere thanks to Gregg Popovich for not playing Davis Bertans as much as he deserved. I don’t agree with the decision to not play him more than the 23 minutes he did get, but it really benefited the Bucks and led to their victory tonight. Bertans’ first stint in…

Julius Randle 29 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/24/2018)

It would’ve gone unnoticed by most people, but I want to let the world know that the ‘Zards ROBBED us of a sick matchup tonight. No, not Dwight Howard versus Anthony Davis. That would’ve been cool, but that’s not what I’m talking about here. I’m talking about Julius “Orange” Randle versus Chasson “Press X To…
