I’m not gonna lie, I was a little bit disappointed when the trade deadline came and went without D.J. Augustin’s name popping up in any trade announcements. In fact, his name didn’t even come up in trade TALKS, much less finalized trades. If GM’s were discussing him, they didn’t leak it. This is disappointing to…

Adam Mokoka 15 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2020)
Adam Mokoka, who is allegedly a real NBA player for the Chicago Bulls, had not made a shot before tonight. He had attempted nine of them and missed them all, which is a feat that any one of us could have also achieved if a coach were foolish enough to put us in an NBA…
Read MoreElfrid Payton 15 Points/9 Assists/7 Steals Full Highlights (2/6/2020)
OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: At one point in this game, Elfrid Payton was credited with eight steals, including one on the last defensive play of the game. That’s pretty close to a triple-double with steals if you combine it with his nine assists, and it also would have been the most steals by any player this…
Read MoreZion Williamson 21 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2020)
I don’t know if this is sustainable, guys. Out of eight games that Zion Williamson has played in this season, I’ve made eight highlight videos, for an amazing 100% highlightage rate. Even the most highlight-prone role-players will stay at maybe a 40% or, rarely, 50% highlightage rate. You can see from those numbers that Zion…
Read MoreJordan McLaughlin 15 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/5/2020)
In the intervening hours between when Jordan McLaughlin had this performance and when I uploaded the video depicting the performance, a lot of weird stuff happened with the Timberwolves. The weirdest being the long-awaited departure of Andrew Wiggins. Witness in this video a few of his very last buckets (but not his absolute last, sadly)…
Read MoreJalen Brunson 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/5/2020)
The hype that I am detecting (or, more accurately, not detecting) for Jalen Brunson is disturbingly low. There are people on the Mavericks other than Euros, people. You don’t have to be hyped only for Luka Doncic (Euro), Kristaps Porzingis (Euro), Dwight Powell (Euro), Ryan Broekoff (Euro), or J.J. Barea (Mexican Euro). I understand that…
Read MoreBrandon Clarke 18 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2020)
Man, the Grizzlies sure are winning a lot of games lately, aren’t they? I don’t think I realized how good they were doing, but with this win, they have crawled back to over .500 and are currently the 8th seed in the West. Haters may criticize their current strategy which will only lead to a…
Read MoreTyus Jones 19 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2020)
The dust has mostly settled after yet another chaotic trade deadline, one that featured some Wojnukes, a bunch of Wojbombs, and some Shamsretractions. Now that things are clearing up, I can say with about 80 percent confidence that Tyus Jones didn’t get traded. Even though you’d think the Timberwolves would want him back after they…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 19 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2020)
Doug McDermott has proudly worn the “Dougie McBuckets” moniker ever since his college days and maybe even before that (I’m too lazy to do research on the origins of the nickname). However, for most of his time in the NBA, the name “McBuckets” hasn’t accurately reflected his on-court production, because a nickname like that implies…
Read MoreChristian Wood 21 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2020)
This game and the one before it were the first games of the season where Christan Wood got over thirty minutes of on-court action. His stats weren’t as utterly outrageous as I would have hoped for (17/5/1 last game, 21/8/1 this game), but it does bolster my newly-formed hypothesis that if you emphasized Wood in…
