I thought THE WHOLE POINT of trading away Jeff Teague was so that Jarrett Culver could get a ton of burn at point guard in this lost season for the Timberwolves. The other part of the plan was to allow Andrew Wiggins to initiate more of the offense himself. The plan was not to have…

Derrick Jones 15 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)
Derrick Jones Jr. is in the dunk contest again. This seems like a good decision by the NBA, to put one of the better in-game dunkers in a contest to showcase his dunking ability. Putting Pat Connaughton in the contest as well is probably less of a good decision. Better than the time they were…
Read MoreMo Bamba 12 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)
Okay, DTB just came back from snacktime and is ready to articulate his thoughts on second-year Magic center Mo Bamba. Before I talk about him, though, I just want to interject for a moment that nacho cheese flavor Doritos are pretty tasty. However, there are two varieties of Doritos that need to return to store…
Read MoreCody Zeller 17 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)
If the Hornets don’t watch out, they’re going to end up with a Jeff Foster in Indiana kind of situation. If you’re a little lost, first of all, we need to get you a map, and second of all, remember that Foster played his entire 13-year career with the Pacers while no one even noticed….
Read MoreJeff Teague 18 Points/6 Assists/2 Dunks Full Highlights (2/3/2020)
Jeff Teague is back to where it all started: Atlanta, the place where he was voted an All-Star that one year because the Hawks were winning so many god-damn games and then they got swept by LeBron anyway. Am I remembering that right? Maybe they took one game off LeBron, but I don’t think so….
Read MoreBrad Wanamaker 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/3/2020)
Two straight games of 5-for-9 from the field for Brad Wanamaker. The only reason this one had one more point than the last one is because he made all four of his free throws instead of missing one. I have been informed that he has the reputation of being the best free-throw shooter on the…
Read MoreChristian Wood 17 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (2/3/2020)
Andre Drummond has been implicated in trade rumors for a while now. The frenzied whispering between GM’s has heightened in volume to be more of like a loud conversation: “Hey we want Andre Drummond! Take our [garbage player] and our [large asset bundle] and you won’t have to worry about dealing with him in free…
Read MoreDamion Lee 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/3/2020)
It seems like every halfway-decent Warriors player is on the trading block except for Damion Lee (and Draymond Green too, because no team would risk trading for him unless they have a collection of All-Stars ready to buoy him). If you’re a productive player on the Warriors, chances are that you’re going to get traded…
Read MoreLarry Nance Jr. 18 Points/5 Dunks/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/3/2020)
The Cavaliers aren’t exactly a free-agent destination right now. Similarly, any player who finds out they’re getting traded there is probably rolling their eyes. Who would want to play with a motley crew of role players (Larry Nance, Tristan Thompson, Cedi Osman), plus one world-class chucker (Colin Sexton) plus one discontented former star (Kevin Love)?…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 21 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)
Kelly Oubre is one of the highest-scoring players remaining on my channel with his 18.5 PPG per game. My official drop-dead cutoff for DTB eligibility is 20 PPG per game, so Oubre’s not quite there yet, but I’ve kicked out a bunch of players who are objectively worse scorers than he is, so I’m not…
