Ricky Rubio 22 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (2/1/2019)

I feel like there’s gotta be some way to figure out what the most fruitful assist-to-shooter connections in the league are. However, after spending ten minutes using all the tools at my disposal (basketball-reference and stats.nba.com), I couldn’t figure out a way to do it. All I wanna know is how the Ricky Rubio-Rudy Gobert…

Ivan Rabb 15 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2019)

I can’t stop pronouncing Ivan Rabb’s first name as “Ee-Vahn” in my head. Everytime the Grizzlies commentators pronounce it “Eye-Van” it sounds wrong to me even though I know, deep in my heart of hearts, that theirs is the correct pronunciation and mine the wrong. You know who I blame for this? Forgotten Hawks power…

Trae Young 28 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/1/2019)

I’ve been paying real close attention, and I don’t think I’ve seen even one person complain that Trae Young was snubbled for the three-point shootout during All-Star weekend. There have been a lot of other complaints involving a lot of other snubs (I agree, Davis Bertans definitely should’ve been an invited), but not even one…

Kelly Olynyk 21 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2019)

How mad do you think Hassan Whiteside gets when he gets benched by Spoelstra even when playing well and then has to watch Kelly Olynyk run around and be the softest player in the league? Really mad? Overwhelmingly mad? Not mad at all? I’m going to go with “mad as heck” on this one. He’s…

Dennis Schröder 28 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2019)

If you’re watching thinking about this video at some weird future time where the details of this game are not necessarily known to you, consider the following: Dennis Schroder scored 24 points in the second quarter of this one. It was insane. I was watching it (because I wanted to see Abdel Nader), and it…

Kevon Looney 14 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (1/31/2019)

Before you get all excited about the prospect of watching six dunks in one highlight video, I have to issue an OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: these dunks just aren’t that good. If this video provides any level of entertainment, it’s more due to the sheer volume of dunks (which accounted for twelve of Kevon Looney’s fourteen…

Pascal Siakam 28 Points Full Highlights (1/31/2019)

While Pascal Siakam was dominating the Bucks in the late third quarter/early fourth quarter, your pal DTB could be found curled up into a ball on the floor, weeping, while Japurri Purrker (my tubby little kitty) meowed at me because he was hungry. For those few minutes as the Raptors started coming back from their…

D.J. Wilson 16 Points Full Highlights (1/31/2019)

I hate to say it, but D.J. Wilson right now is just completely outplaying Ersan Ilyasova. It’s gotten the point where it seems like, with every game that passes, Ilyasova surrenders more and more of the backup PF minutes to Wilson. When Ilyasova returned to the Bucks, it was a happy occasion both for me…

Lance Stephenson 20 Points/1 Elbow Full Highlights (1/31/2019)

I wasn’t watching this game live, so I’m not fully aware of the ramifications of Lance Stephenson’s elbow to the face of Boban Marjanovic in the overtime period. All I know is he went up for a layup while swinging his elbow into Boban’s head, the refs blew the whistle, there was a lot of…

Darren Collison 16 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/31/2019)

So we’ve already determined that both Myles Turner and Bojan Bogdanovic need to step up their games in the absence of Victor Oladipo (RIP). But let’s not forget about Darren Collison, who also needs to start contributing more in the “points” section of the box-score if the Pacers want to have any hope of retaining…
