I’m not usually one to obsess about which players are “bitches”, but even in the bitch-ignorant reality that I have carefully crafted for myself, I am well aware of Marquese “Marqueso” “Sea-Cheese” Chriss’ reputation in the league. And that reputation is not a good one. He has the reputation of being a bitch. So much…

De’Anthony Melton 17 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
De’Anthony Melton AKA DeMelto Anthony is playing well enough as Ja Morant’s backup (or is Tyus Jones the backup? hmmmm) that I feel comfortable bestowing upon him a new title: Shelvin Mack 2.0. Contain your gasps of surprise. Mack, who once led the Magic in assists per game with almost four, is a lofty bar…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 20 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
OFFICIAL DTB REMINDER: Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 43 points in a game this season. It wasn’t even that long ago. I recommend that you watch that highlight video instead because (and the math will bear this out), that video is more than twice as good as this one. If you’ve already watched it, well, you…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
I feel like every time I make a highlight video for Kelly Oubre, he’s hitting multiple midrange jumpshots. It gives the impression that Oubre is not only a smooth midrange operator, but a prolific one as well. But I just looked at basketball-reference (the website without which my descriptions would contain almost no factual content…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 20 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
Sometimes I wonder what I did in a previous life for me to be cursed with this existence. My anger towards god/the cosmic oversoul/quantum randomness is especially pronounced when I think about Serge Ibaka. He’s got it all: -Can dunk (I will never dunk, I’m too old now) -Is rich (my Patreon proceeds, while nice,…
Read MoreRobin Lopez 17 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
Robin Lopez is normally thought of as the more “traditional” center out of the two Lopez twins thanks to his preference for the post-up game and his inability to shoot from long range (until this season anyway). Perhaps due to that reputation, I always thought of Fropez as being a decent rebounder, but I just…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
When you think of your personal list of players who are least likely to get a triple-double, Ersan Ilyasova should feature prominently on that list. And if you don’t have such a list ready to go in your mind, you should get to work developing one so you can pull it out for chicks and…
Read MoreBryn Forbes 18 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
Bryn “Forbearance” Forbes is not as good a three-point shooter this season as he was last season. Last season, he was a 43% shooter from deep, making him one of the best in the league. This season, he’s shooting 36%, which is fine (especially at the volume of shots he takes) but is only a…
Read MoreDarius Garland 18 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
One of the reasons the draft works so well is because the best players go to the worst teams, allowing them the most chances to score tons of points and get everyone all hyped up for them. This increases the overall excitement of the league by quite a bit. If highly-touted rookies got to just…
Read MoreDamion Lee 18 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
With 15 rebounds last game and 12 rebounds in this one, it’s looking like Damion Lee has discovered a little-known NBA truism: that rebounds are there for the taking and anyone who wants to try for them can have them. Russell Westbrook is a high-profile player who takes advantage of this in order to get…
