Joakim Noah 15 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2019)

I think Joakim Noah needs to rethink his hair situation. What he’s doing right now just isn’t working from a hair-management standpoint. As you can see from this video’s thumbnail image, his hair is just flying everywhere. Most of it remains contained in his bun, yes, but there’s like a halo of hair all around…

Jahlil Okafor 15 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2019)

Jahlil Okafor was a fun story for a little white there. Did you realize that he had a 5-game stretch where he averaged almost 10 makes a game? He was a straight-up bucket machine, just like what he was drafted to be. A guy who was put on this earth to do one thing and…

Jabari Parker 20 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2019)

Okay, a lot of people have spent a lot of time talking about how Jabari Parker was maybe a little too chunky, how he needed to slim up a little bit. And they were right. He looked like he enjoyed a few too many late nights with a couple cheesburgers and some cheesy bacon fries…

Jaylen Brown 23 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2019)

The Celtics may have won this game by scoring more points than the Hawks, but I’m putting this one in the “L” column because they let them come all the way back after being up by hundreds of points. That may not sound fair, but for a team like the Celtics who were supposed to…

Avery Bradley 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/16/2019)

How did the Grizzlies lose this game? They got tons of unexpected production from a ton of places. Chandler Parsons, who was clinically dead at points earlier this season, scored 16. Joakim Noah, who emerged from a grimy alley in Paris with nothing but the clothes on his back to play for the Grizzlies this…

Vince Carter 16 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2019)

Vince Carter said he’s coming back, right? If he didn’t straight up say it like that (can we get an MJ-like press release that just says “I’m back”), he at least strongly implied it. That’s good. I don’t think there’s an NBA fan out there who’s like “yeah nah, it would probably be better if…

Dragan Bender 13 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2019)

The Suns, if you remember, did not pick up Dragan Bender’s option for next season, making him a free agent for this upcoming offseason. The list of players who have had their options declined and still turned into something good is not very long. It might not even exist at all. So that’s not a…

Jusuf Nurkic 24 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2019)

It’s been over three months since Jusuf Nurkic made a three. I should’ve known better to assume he’d be the next Brook Lopez with him shooting tons of them per game. I blame the preseason for this. And Nurkic. If he knows he’s not going to keep shooting them in the regular season when the…

Josh Jackson 19 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (3/16/2019)

Sure, Josh Jackson’s three-pointer with 1 second left didn’t technically win the game for the Suns. But it was such a good shot that it caused Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry to become so discombobulated that he called a timeout that he didn’t have (Chris Webber is smiling somewhere, but it’s more of a grimace), and…

Maxi Kleber 18 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2019)

First video of the year for Maxi Kleber! I was beginning to worry that he’d just go the whole season without scoring more than 13 points despite playing decent minutes. Normally, a role-player of Kleber’s quality would have notched up to 10 DTB videos by this point in the season. But Kleber seemed content to…
