Why am I still uploading highlight videos right now? I’m on video #29 for last night’s games (I think so, anyway; counting that high is hard), and I’m deep into the afternoon, and now I’m competing with the full might of the NFL for the attention of sports fans. How am I supposed to topple…

Darius Garland 16 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Darius Garland had eight turnovers in this game to go with his single assist. That’s, to put it nicely, not a good stat. There are a bunch of players who have gotten eight turnovers in a game this season, and even a few who got nine. But none of them did it…
Read MoreJoe Harris 22 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
Last season, Joe Harris had the highest three-point percentage among players who attempted at least 100 threes, at 47.4%. And it’s not like he squeaked in under the cutoff either. He attempted 386 three-pointers that season. To combine that volume with that accuracy is pretty much totally nuts and nigh-unbelievable. If you raise the cutoff…
Read MoreTerence Davis 15 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
Terence “The ‘Rence is Too Damn High” Davis is the one person standing in the way of Fred VanVleet playing 48 minutes per game. If Davis was like every other undrafted rookie and was borderline unplayable, then the Raptors’ point guard options with Lowry out would be very limited. Limited enough that FVV would be…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 19 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
How could roster-construction errors of such magnitude be allowed to happen? The amount of redundancy on the Heat roster is astounding. Kelly Olynyk and Meyers Leonard are the SAME player. They are literally, besides being two separate human beings (and one of them being Canadian), the same. Not only is it a waste of a…
Read MoreIsh Smith 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
The ‘Zards need to figure out a way to have Ish Smith get more assists more consistently. 7 assists isn’t even a lot (especially for a solely offensive team like the ‘Zards), but it’s a season high for Smith. His season low is 3, which means he’s really good at getting some but not too…
Read MoreAlec Burks 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
Alec Burks is now averaging a career high in points, at nearly 15 per game. Obviously, some weird stuff had to happen for him to get this kind of opportunity with the Warriors, but that’s the nature of the NBA. Weird stuff happens all the time. I wasn’t expecting Burks to do much this year,…
Read MoreGary Clark 12 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
I will never, ever, for as long as I live, forget how Rockets fans were obsessed with this guy being some sort of “missing piece” that was going to “contribute” to their “championship-contending” squad. Here are some actual quotes from actual Rockets fans going into last season: “Mastermind Morey at it again. Can’t believe this…
Read MoreJa Morant 20 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
We know Ja Morant can score. Maybe he doesn’t shoot as many jumpers as some people (me) would maybe want, but he can definitely score well enough with his fancy moves to the basket. Scoring is usually the first step a rookie takes on their way to being a good player, and Morant has already…
Read MoreMalcolm Miller 13 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
Big props going out right now to Malcolm Miller for somehow sticking with the Raptors for three seasons now as an undrafted player who barely gets to play. Sorry, let me correct myself: Big props going out right now to NBA FRICKIN’ CHAMPION Malcolm Miller for somehow sticking with the Raptors for three seasons now…
