Devonte’ Graham 10 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/24/2019)

There were parts of this game were Devonte’ “Extraneous Apostrophe” Graham was, dare I say it…dominating. For the first six minutes of the second quarter, he took the game over by himself, scoring six points and dropping seven dimes. That’s gotta be one of the best six-minute stretches by a backup point guard in recent…

JaVale McGee 17 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (3/24/2019)

JaVale McGee is coming off a career-high 33 points (plus 6 blocks) that was mostly the result of his body getting genetically modified by aliens who were summoned to Earth by a tampered-with FM radio. It’s hard to tell if the genetic modifications were reverted, or have somehow worn off, or if they’re still there…

Marvin Bagley 25 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2019)

Maybe I’m dumb, or maybe my knowledge of big men past and present is deficient, but I’ve been sitting here for AT LEAST two minutes and I’m not coming up with a good player comparison for Marvin Bagley. The closest I’ve come is Shawn Marion, but I don’t know if that’s a very good one….

Thon Maker 12 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2019)

I wonder if Thon Maker actually thought he would get traded when he started agitating, through his agent, for more playing time on the Bucks. I also wonder if he actually thought that he would get more playing time. That seemed like a lose-lose situation for him since he had no leverage. Either he would…

Luke Kennard 20 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2019)

New plan for the Pistons: give Luke “The Nard” Kennard all the shots he wants until the end of the season. He needs to be given a fair chance here. There’s a lot of players whose true value only becomes apparent when they start chucking the air out of the ball during the meaningless games…

Miles Bridges 16 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (3/24/2019)

Miles Bridges dunked it four times this games, right after dunking it four times last game. If he kept those numbers up for the whole season, starting with game 1 and ending with game 82, that would be 328 dunks. Which is barely more than the pace Rudy Gobert is on this year, which is…

George Hill 17 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2019)

It wasn’t too long ago that I dreaded having to make George Hill highlights. This was around the time of his season with Utah where he averaged 17 PPG. I’m not sure what my rationale was at the time, but I had placed him in the “Reggie Jackson/Jeff Teague/Darren Collison” tier of point guards who…

Frank Jackson 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/24/2019)

This is upsetting to me. I’ve been spending the past few Frank Jackson videos building up the idea that Frank Jackson is nothing more than a midget shooting guard who has no point guard instincts to speak of. His rate-adjusted assist averages for the season, which have been hovering at or near two APG, have…

Montrezl Harrell 24 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2019)

Montrezl “Mississzugz” “Monsterezl” “Mon-Trezzle” Harrell has been having good games with such frightening regularity that I’m starting to suffer from what I’ve termed “Harrell Fatigue”. On some level, I appreciate that Harrell is playing himself into a future 15-million-per-year contract by being a constant bundle of hustle and screaming, but that appreciation is tempered by…

Pascal Siakam 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/24/2019)

In this episode of DTB’s Honesty Hour, where your favorite highlight-uploading friend DTB tells only true things and no lies, I’ll be talking about the rapidly-ascending Raptors’ star, Pascal Siakam. Remember, everything I type during the Honesty Hour, by rule, has to be true. If it was false or incorrect, it wouldn’t be an Honesty…
