Dwyane Wade 25 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/18/2019)

You’re telling me that the dude depicted in this video has only a month of professional basketball left to play? FOH outta here. Dwyane Wade has still got, as the kids say, “the sauce”. Just like the chicken wings I am eating right now. Jealous? Sorry bro, these are for consumption only by DTB and…

Frank Jackson 19 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2019)

I really messed this one up. Sorry guys. It’s too late now. No time machine, no warping of the fabric of space, no fantastical voyage into the past will repair the fact that Frank Jackson got a block in this game and I didn’t even show it in this video. A video which purports to…

Deandre Ayton 25 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/18/2019)

I had already seen the dominance that Robin Lopez had put on Deandre Ayton in this game. If you don’t feel like watching the highlight video of the performance, I have a one word summary for you: “hooks”. But even while knowing and cherishing that dominance, I knew that Ayton had 25 points in this…

Jabari Parker 19 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2019)

Jabari Parker had five turnovers in this game to go along with one assist (which may very well have been the sickest assist ever – I didn’t bother to look at it), leaving his assist/turnover ratio below 1.0 for the year. I think that’s how the math works out, anyway. I don’t understand ratios. Simply…

Fred VanVleet 13 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (3/18/2019)

Apparently Fred “Vleetwood Mac” VanVleet is a good enough player where he doesn’t get to play in fourth quarter of blowouts. Congratulations on the promotion, man! It was not too long ago where he wouldn’t play EXCEPT in the fourth quarter of blowouts, so to be cheering from the bench while your team’s scrub unit…

Allonzo Trier 22 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2019)

I am getting confused right now. Who exactly is the Knicks’ shooting guard of the future? Is it Damyean Dotson or Allonzo Trier? Both of them are averaging around ten points per game, but often have games where they score way more than that, and neither of them was expected to do a whole lot…

Robin Lopez 24 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2019)

Robin Lopez’s first 6 buckets of this game are hook shots (not the kind he threw against Serge Ibaka; the basketball kind). He added one more in the second half for a grand total of 7, all of them against Deandre Ayton or Dragan Bender. I don’t know if they were trying to teach the…

Myles Turner 28 Points Full Highlights (3/18/2019)

Pacers fans have sometimes expressed dissatisfaction with the coaching of Nate McMillan, mostly in the form of criticism of his offensive schemes. Namely, that it seems like the only play he can run is a two-man pick-and-roll at the top of the key. As the national media brings his name up as a possible fringe…

Nikola Jokic 21 Points/7 Assists/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/18/2019)

Nikola Jokic is not known for his shot-blocking abilities. He is not a rim-protector by any stretch of the imagination. No sane person would expect somebody with his physical profile (poor vertical jump, decent but not great wingspan, a plodder) to record a lot of blocks. But, somehow, he recorded three of them in this…

Jerami Grant Career High 27 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/18/2019)

Jerami Grant just had the game of his life, scoring 27 points on a wide variety of scoring moves (including some rim-rattlin’, skull-smashin’ dunks), but all the effort was for naught as the Thunder lost to the Heat, who aren’t even a good team, or at least I don’t think they’re a good team. And…
