It sucks, but this is what has to pass for highlights during the ‘offs. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scoring 18 points. If this had happened during the regular season, I would have ignored it without a second thought. My time is too valuable to be wasting it making vids of KCP not even scoring 20. And a…

Duncan Robinson 18 Points Full Highlights (9/17/2020)
Gazing contemplatively at the dark sky of the Florida night, Duncan Robinson ambled along a winding path that took him underneath palm trees and past sweet-smelling flower beds. He wasn’t paying attention to where his feet were taking him; all his thoughts were focused on the game that they had just won. He knew his…
Read MoreTyler Herro 12 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (9/15/2020)
Tyler Herro, with his low-scoring but nonetheless stat-stuffed statline of 12/11/9, was one assist short of the fabled trippy-dubby. Think about how bad the internet would be freaking out right now if he had gotten that tenth assist. The fawning comments would be so over the top as to be embarrassing. I’ve even come up…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 26 Points Full Highlights (9/15/2020)
One of the most important plays that Marcus Smart had in this game is not actually shown in this video. With 22 seconds left in the game and the Celtics inbounding the ball down by one point, Marcus Smart drew an away-from-the-play foul, netting the Celtics a single free throw which tied the game and…
Read MoreJae Crowder 22 Points Full Highlights (9/15/2020)
Jae “Crowd Control” Crowder not only was the Heat’s second-leading scorer in ther game-one win over the Loseton CeLtics, but he had a clutch defensive stop on Kemba Walker in the waning seconds of regulation. Honestly, for Kemba to try to take Crowder one-on-one was a bad idea. Crowder is known for his defensive ability,…
Read MoreGary Harris 16 Points/4 Steals Full Highlights (9/13/2020)
In a previous life, most of my basketball identity was defined by my never-ending hype for Gary Harris. During that time, which seems so long ago, the hashtag #hypedforgaryharris was not only commonly used on my various social media profiles (to the point where I set up a hotkey on my keyboard to type it…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (9/11/2020)
With a terrible iso possession by Fred VanVleet leading to an airball with 10 seconds left, the Raptors’ season has come to an end. There will be no championship. There will be no parade. What’s Drake up to? Who cares. It’s all over now. VanVleet may have ended Toronto’s season in the most ridiculous way…
Read MorePaul Millsap 17 Points/1 Fight Full Highlights (9/11/2020)
Devoted DTB devotees (DeevoTeeBees?) will know of my most revolutionary and forward-thinking theory regarding the Denver Nuggets as a team, and not only will they know of it, but they will agree with it wholeheartedly. And that theory is: Paul Millsap is ruining the Nuggets. I’m man enough to acknowledge that Millsap does good things…
Read MoreAlex Caruso 16 Points Full Highlights (9/10/2020)
Alex Caruso is closing out games now. He’s part of the Lakers’ closing lineup when they want to put a game away. The championship-contending, maybe even championship-favorite, Lakers. How crazy is that? Remember, we’re talking about Alex Caruso here. The guy who is most beloved for his lack of skin pigmentation, his lack of hair,…
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. 15 Points Full Highlights (9/9/2020)
We’re going to go ahead and blame ‘Ggets coach Mike Malone for the fact that Michael Porter Jr. didn’t score any points in the second half. If you have other people you’d like to blame, you can post them in the comments, as long as they’re not MPJ, who is absolutely 100 percent blameless. Malone…
