At the beginning of The Bubb I was so hyped for the return of basketball that I didn’t even care if scrubs were abusing their scrub status to wring highlight videos out of me. But now my patience is wearing thin and I’m just going to put this out there: I am totally done with…

Frank Jackson 18 Points Full Highlights (8/11/2020)
Frank Jackson is looking a bit Richard Simmons-esque with his headband and his big hair poof. You can add him to the list of players who didn’t know what to do with their hair while COVID-19 ravaged the planet so they just let it grow unchecked. In Jackson’s case, he sort of looks cool, in…
Read MoreKhem Birch 12 Points Full Highlights (8/11/2020)
Khem Birch’s name just lends itself way too easily to nicknames. Both his first name and his last name are flexible enough that I could spend days just coming up with new hilarious nicknames and I would never get to a point where I was like, “Ope, that’s it, I can’t think of any more…
Read MoreIsh Smith 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (8/11/2020)
I would posit that this game from Ish Smith is a bona fide REVENGE GAME, but now I’m thinking…does Smith even remember that he played for the Bucks once upon a time? If he’s forgotten that fact, that there would be no reason for him to play with the goal of exacting REVENGE. Smith has…
Read MoreJahlil Okafor 21 Points Full Highlights (8/11/2020)
With Zion Williamson out, this may have been the least-watched broadcast in history of NBA on TNT. Unless there are still a bunch of Lonzo Ball fanatics out there (which there might be, though I will say I haven’t seen any BBB stuff for a while [or ever]), the target audience for this game was……
Read MoreFrank Mason 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (8/11/2020)
So the biggest news to come out of this game is that, in a moment of weakness, Giannis decided to headbutt Mo Wagner. That was a dumb move on his part and he’s totally gonna get suspended for it. I’m not a sports psychologist but I can only imagine that having to look at Wagner’s…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 24 Points Full Highlights (8/11/2020)
I was getting worried about Brook Lopez for a while there, but you can count me OFFICIALLY UNWORRIED because Lopez is back to his old tricks of splashing endless triples and being extremely gigantic in the process. The extreme giganticness he never really lost even when he was slumping, but the regained three-point accuracy is…
Read MoreSterling Brown 23 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (8/11/2020)
I’ll be honest here, I’m not very high on Sterling Brown. I never have been. He’s shown just enough, just barely enough, of on-court potential that I don’t resent the fact that he takes up a roster spot. His shooting has declined so much this season, however, that I do get upset when he is…
Read MoreRui Hachimura 20 Points Full Highlights (8/11/2020)
OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Rui Hachimura, as the #1 scoring option for the Wizards this game, went 6-of-18 from the field. That’s not very good. Do I have any kind of official or unofficial FG% cutoff for player highlight videos? If I do, it can’t be lower than 33%, can it? I would consult the OFFICIAL…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 24 Points Full Highlights (8/11/2020)
The Mavericks have at least a “big two” right now in Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. That much is certain. The question is, do they have a “big three”, and if they do, is Tim Hardaway Jr. the third of the three? THJ is the Mavericks’ third-leading scorer. So if you had to naively create…
