I’m still waiting for Nikola Jokic to develop the lob chemistry he had with Kenneth Faried with Jerami Grant. I’ve been waiting for almost two whole seasons now, and maybe they’re more comfortable with each other on the court in general, but I can’t see any evidence that the amount of lobs has increased since…

Raul Neto 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (8/12/2020)
According to Kyle O’Quinn (who has never shown himself to be anything other than a reliable source of information), Raul Neto is the best Monopoly player on the 76ers. Al Horford, meanwhile, is the worst. These tidbits of knowledge are the exact trivia items I need in my life. What could lend more humanity to…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 21 Points Full Highlights (8/12/2020)
While painstakingly crafting the thumbnail image for this video (a laborious process which sometimes takes up to 45 seconds), I noticed something: Furkan Korkmaz looks like a cartoon character. With his comically large hairdo which borders on caricature, his larger-than-average eyes, his strange lack of teeth, his pointed face, his dopy expression, and his picture-perfect…
Read MoreChris Boucher 19 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (8/12/2020)
I understand that Marc Gasol brings “intangible” things to the game of basketball. He’s savvy, he knows how to win, he utterly shuts down Joel Embiid whenver they match up (that’s more of a “tangible” than an “intangible” but whatever), he provides leadership on the court, blah blah blah, who cares? Marc Gasol might have…
Read MoreDuncan Robinson 19 Points Full Highlights (8/12/2020)
While pondering whether or not to make this video, I was thinking to myself, “You know DTB old pal, the limit for Duncan Robinson these days is twenty points. He’s a legitimate scorer now. You can’t insult him by making a highlight video for every single game where he scores in double digits.” And then…
Read MoreDarius Bazley 21 Points Full Highlights (8/12/2020)
Make that three straight games now where Darius “Bazed God” Bazley has hit exactly eight shots. The entire rest of his rookie season, the most shots he had hit in a single game was five. Eight is significantly more than five, and to do that in three consecutive games…well, I don’t want to throw around…
Read MoreTyler Herro 30 Points Full Highlights (8/12/2020)
Tyler Herro, half-asleep, rolled over restlessly. Why was his bed so uncomfortable all of a sudden? He would have to leave a note for housekeeping to get him a new mattress. He squeezed his eyes shut, wanting to go back to sleep; after all, he had slept in enough airport terminals to be accustomed to…
Read MoreEdmond Sumner 17 Points Full Highlights (8/12/2020)
After making this highlight video, I have a new hypothesis. I am going to propose it and probably by the time I’m done explaining it, it will stop being just a hypothesis and instead it will be a full-blown theory. Here it is: What we are experiencing right now is “Summer Sumner”. “Summer Sumner” is…
Read MoreJustin Holiday 18 Points Full Highlights (8/12/2020)
Lost in the blindingly radiant aura of T.J. Warren, who is lighting up the NBA restart with monster game after monster game, is the fact that some other Pacers players are not playing up to expectations at all. It’s fun for Warren to try to drag his team to victory all by himself, but the…
