OFFICIAL DTB REMINDER: Even though Marvin Williams has had a long and successful career (at least from a collecting checks perspective, maybe not a “winning” perspective), he is still a big ol’ bust. Like most tweeners ever drafted at the top of the draft, he never lived up to the pre-draft visions of a long,…

Josh Okogie 17 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)
Until Giannis Adetokunbo (note the authentic spelling) mans up and embraces his Nigerian heritage, Josh Okogie is Nigeria’s best hope for an NBA superstar. What, you think Al-Farouq Aminu is the better choice? I’d rather have Ime Udoka than him. Current Udoka, mind you. And what’s Solomon Alabi up to these days, anyway? I’d take…
Read MoreTorrey Craig 15 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)
Zion Williamson nuthuggers aren’t going to like hearing it, but Torrey Craig COMPLETELY and BRUTALLY outplayed Mr. No Knees last night. Craig, who I think played Div II college basketball at some random school that nobody’s ever heard of, and who was never even close to being anointed as the next LeBron James, scored the…
Read MoreDaniel Theis 16 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)
Daniel “Theis Theis Baby” Theis has been good enough for the Celtics that the usual calls for them to trade for a center at the deadline have been muted. At least, that’s my impression of things. Maybe there are crowds of Celtics fans who are tired of his low-usage efficiency and are clamoring for the…
Read MoreGlenn Robinson III 18 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)
I get the feeling that the Warriors have their own little version of “The Process” going on right now where they know they’re not going to be competitive, so they’re just trying to figure out if any of the guys on their roster are worth keeping around when they presumably return to title contention next…
Read MoreChristian Wood 20 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)
Since it is plainly obvious to me that Christian Wood is a key component of the Pistons’ future (while Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin are NOT considered to be so vital), I have started a local awareness campaign to make sure that the average person is aware that Wood needs to be getting thirty minutes…
Read MoreBam Adebayo 18 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/24/2020)
Four Miami Heat highlight videos in a row. They didn’t even win the game! If I was really serious about cutting my workload, I’d institute a new policy: if your team doesn’t win, you don’t get a video. Why should we be glorifying statistically impressive performances in losses? There’s only one stat that matters: the…
Read MoreDion Waiters 14 Points/1 Return Full Highlights (1/24/2020)
It really felt like Dion Waiters, after blocking Lou Williams twice and then hitting a three to bring the Heat within three with 30 seconds left, that we were going to see a vintage “Waiters Island” performance. The Clippers would mess up, the Heat would get the ball back, and Waiters would swing his huge…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 19 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)
The incredible redundancy created by having Kelly Olynyk and Meyers Leonard on the same team finally caught up to one of them, as Olynyk has seen his minutes drop precipitously all the way into DNP-CD territory in the last month. He’s seen a bit of an increase the last few games, but even so, his…
Read MoreTyler Herro 19 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2020)
Tyler Herro played a lot of minutes tonight. Even with Dion Waiters alive and willing to shoot shots (he sucks but it was kind of cool to seem him come in and immediately hit some swaggy threes like he’d never left), Herro was in the game for 40 minutes. Most teams now recognize the value…
