As has become tradition (doing something twice means it counts as a tradition), DTB will provide commentary on selected dunks this month instead of typing out a whole long story that taxes the reading ability of YouTube users to its absolute limit. It also taxes my “coherent storytelling” ability to its absolute limit. A description…

Justise Winslow 13 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
Okay, I don’t have much time for this description, but I just want to say that Justise Winslow has been styling himself a “point guard” for almost 10 games now, and that was NOT OKAY. I don’t care what you or your coach or the media say, you cannot call yourself a point guard until…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 18 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
The Lakers lost most of their games while JaVale McGee was battling his ilness, whatever it was. Ivica Zubac had some good performances in his stead, but it’s hard to replace McGee’s spasticity on the court. There’s a certain energy with him that the other Lakers centers don’t have. Tyson Chandler still plays like he…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 19 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
So I was looking at Jaren Jackson’s game log, and I was like “wow this guy fouls a lot!”, because he has so many games with 4 or 5 or even the dreaded 6 fouls. So then I’m like “I bet he’s leading the league in fouls!” and I go and check and he totally…
Read MoreDeMarre Carroll 20 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
DeMarre Carroll is probably worse now than he was when he was known affectionately as part of the “Trash Brothers” duo (with Patrick Patterson who also sucks even worse now) in Toronto, but he’s receiving about 5 percent of the criticism. Obviously, the situations are way different. In Toronto, he got paid a ton of…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
I want the Nets to make the playoffs. I want them to be good again, so long after Billy King went all in for a championship, after he mortgaged their entire future and then some. I still don’t think they have any first round picks for the next decade, but they’re making it work this…
Read MoreJeff Teague 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
A lot of very mean Timberwolves fans have a lot of very mean things to say about Jeff Teague. “He’s not as good as his brother”, “His All-Star selection was undeserved”, “I’d rather have Aaron Brooks”, “He gets help from the league in the form of spurious assists”. I haven’t actually seen any Minnesota fan…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 22 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
One game after acquiring the totally pedestrian and barely notable feat of a 5-by-5, Jusuf Nurkic fell embarrassingly short of the goal last night, needing four more assists, two more steals, and four more blocks. He also didn’t even get a quadruple-double. Or a triple-double. Or a double-double. A double-double is, like, almost an automatic…
Read MoreMarcin Gortat 18 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
I’ve been ragging on Marcin Gortat the whole season long, concocting plans to lure him back to Poland so that the minutes he takes up with his uselessness can instead be given to players who deserve them way more, Montrezl Harrell and Boban Marjanovic. And, up until this game happened, I would say that I…
Read MoreKris Dunn 16 Points/17 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
The end of this video blows my mind. There’s so many big shots. There’s so many big plays. If I was watching this game live as a Bulls fan, I would have blown out an aorta and bled to death in my own bedroom. And if I was watching this game live as a Pacers…
