https://youtu.be/wePDBiF2PlM Opening his eyes from sleep to find a completely unexpected scene in front of him, Saddiq Bey’s first inclination was to close his eyes again. Perhaps when he opened them for a second time, he would be back in his bed like he expected, and he could pass off the brief glimpse into that…

Semi Ojeleye Career High 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/11/2021)
https://youtu.be/OztX3wC9aGM I love it, absolutely love it, when unheralded role-players unexpectedly outplay their higher-profile “star” teammates. Except, for me, it’s not unexpected at all. It’s completely expected, because what burns in my heart is the inextinguishable flame of scrubbophilia, and that scrubbophilia flame ensures that I am always rooting for these guys to play well….
Read MoreMax Strus 21 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2021)
https://youtu.be/EXu47a2aqPs DTB’S FUN NBA FACT OF THE DAY: Max Strus scored 21 points in this game without accumulating any other counting stats. He had no assists, no rebounds, no steals, and no blocks. And here’s the real fun part: 21 is the most any player has scored this season while getting zeroes across the rest…
Read MoreIsaiah Stewart 17 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2021)
https://youtu.be/nY5B6nWO1aI Jerami Grant, and Blake Griffin before him, were exciting acquisitions that provided the Pistons with a 20 PPG scorer who could (theoretically) drag the team out of the doldrums and return them to playoff relevancy. But the problem with those guys is that in no way could say that they were “bringing back old…
Read MoreCoby White 30 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/10/2021)
https://youtu.be/6YRonei8n4M It’s games like this that make you go “man, the backcourt duo of Coby White and Zach LaVine will be running the East in as few as two years.” White had an efficient thirty points, LaVine had an even more efficient 46, the rest of the Bulls were thriving, and the result was a…
Read MoreKyle Anderson 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/10/2021)
https://youtu.be/OUDkC6NsOaA It wasn’t until his fiftieth career game that Kyle Anderson hit his sixth total NBA three-pointer. In this game, it didn’t even take him twenty minutes to hit his sixth three-pointer. That is a brief, yet jarring and thought-provoking, synopsis of Anderson’s career to this point. So jarring and thought-provoking, in fact, that I…
Read MoreKenrich Williams Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2021)
https://youtu.be/znlJyFs385U The old Kenrich Williams, the Kenrich Williams of last season, the Kenrich Williams who averaged six points per 36 minutes, would never have put on a scoring exhibition like this. But this is not the old Kenrich Williams. This is the NEW Kenrich Williams. And the new Kenrich Williams is not only able to…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 24 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/9/2021)
https://youtu.be/TOHuCUu63HY I might have semi-retired from making NBA highlights, but I am absolutely NOT retired in many of my other major life projects. In fact, with less time being sunk into content creation for YouTube, I can devote more of my energies to something that has been an obsession of mine for years now, namely,…
Read MoreNorman Powell 29 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2021)
https://youtu.be/U9VQxZPYgRo As part of my strict initiative to lessen my own workload, I have excised players from my channel who would normally be well within my scrub parameters (“scrubrameters”). There is a sizable collection of mid-teens-PPG shooting guards that have been plopped onto the exclusion list. Tim Hardaway Jr. is one of them. So is…
Read MoreDarius Bazley 21 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2021)
https://youtu.be/HTC2Vaol-rc OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Darius Bazley needed 21 shots to score his 21 points in this game. Any time the amount of field goals attempted is equal to or greater than the amount of points scored, you know you’re looking at an inefficient scoring performance, and the numbers bear this out: Bazley was 7-of-21 from…
