Daniel Theis is completely outplaying Marc Gasol in this series and I am loving every moment of it. We’re not going to bring their nationalities into it (not that Germans and Spaniards hate each other as far as I know) but we are going to bring their continentalities into it: both are from Europe so…

Norman Powell 23 Points Full Highlights (9/9/2020)
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. Norman Powell’s strong play this season elevated him from mere “Bucks Killer” status (where he would dominate the Bucks while only playing reasonably well against the rest of the teams in the league league) to “Everyone Killer” status (where he would dominate every team whether or not they…
Read MoreMarcus Smart Triple Double 23 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (9/9/2020)
OFFICIAL LIST OF GOOD THINGS MARCUS SMART DID IN THIS GAME -Played defense -Got a trippy-dubby -Hit some three-pointers -Led the league in intangibles per 36 according to Mike Breen -Received a “BANG!” OFFICIAL LIST OF BAD THINGS MARCUS SMART DID IN THIS GAME -Flopped -In true Zaza Pachulia fashion, undercut Fred VanVleet on a…
Read MoreDonte DiVincenzo 17 Points Full Highlights (9/8/2020)
That’s it. Season over for the Bucks. Donte DiVincenzo, starting for the injured Giannis, had by far his best game of the playoffs, but his heroic efforts to drag Khris Brickleton and Eric Bricksoe and Brick Lopez and DJ Brickson into a game six were all in vain. Honestly, I’m not too bummed about this…
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. 18 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (9/7/2020)
It’s become increasingly clear that when Michael Porter Jr. is on the court for the ‘Ggets, the opposing team targets him on defense. Not every possession or anything, but it’s just a thing that they are always thinking about: “How can we arrange things so that MPJ is the one guarding the dude with the…
Read MoreDaniel Theis 15 Points/1 Kick Received Full Highlights (9/7/2020)
Fifteen points is one point shy of the OFFICIAL DTB POINTS THRESHOLD for Daniel Theis, which is sixteen points. There is a reason why the ODTBPT has “OFFICIAL” as part of its name: it’s because I legally can’t make a highlight video for a player when they score fewer than that many points. You might…
Read MoreBrad Wanamaker 15 Points Full Highlights (9/7/2020)
To this day, one of my greatest regrets in my life is not making a highlight video of Brad Wanamaker scoring fourteen points against the Clippers on November 20, 2019. It pains me to lay bare my failures like this, in the most public of arenas, but it is part of the atonement process that…
Read MoreP.J. Tucker 18 Points Full Highlights (9/6/2020)
Everyone is making a big huge thing about how PJ Tucker defended Anthony Davis so well in game one (I don’t know how he did in this game, because I don’t care about defense). And on the surface, it looks admirable: Tucker is a midget masquerading as a center, and Davis is one of the…
Read MoreEric Gordon 24 Points Full Highlights (9/6/2020)
It only took Eric Gordon about 14 minutes of nearly consecutive (he was subbed out for like two minutes) game-time to score these 24 points. The remainder of the 36 total minutes he ended up playing saw him score 0 points. Whoops! Still, those 14 minutes were really sweet. He just kept scoring. His three-point…
Read MoreJae Crowder 18 Points Full Highlights (9/6/2020)
Jae Crowder did me a favor tonight by providing me the chance to make the easiest 18-point highlight video ever. By hitting six three-pointers and doing nothing else worthy of being included in the video, my job was as low-effort as it could possibly be. Imagine if, instead of hitting six three-pointers, he hit nine…
