Rui Hachimura Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2021)

https://youtu.be/MpS1tdwfooE Thirty points is Rui Hachimura’s career high. However, it’s not a new career high, it just ties a career high that he set in his rookie season. That means, for all the true DTB acolytes who were hoping for a “Hall of the Thirty Point Scorers” video description where Hachimura enters a mystical realm…

De’Anthony Melton 23 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2021)

https://youtu.be/KQ6fpwQwPtQ It’s sad to say, but in my state of semi-retirement, I find that I have completely (and possibly… irrevocably???) lost my ability to remember where all the apostrophes in NBA players’ names go. It wasn’t always my strongest area of NBA knowledge, but over time I developed an extremely solid understanding of which NBA…

Hamidou Diallo 19 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2021)

https://youtu.be/5q1b3RxZNcE I made this video under the impression that this game was Hamidou Diallo’s debut for the Pistons. And now I’m seeing on basketball-reference that Diallo had played one game for the Pistons before this. Excuse my French, but what the god damn hell? Or, in actual French, c’est quoi ce bordel? I don’t know…

Luke Kennard 21 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2021)

https://youtu.be/bONPnhrUL0c I was getting ready to GO ALL IN on Doc Rivers, and accuse him of trying to ruin Luke Kennard’s career by not giving him enough minutes, but then I remember that Rivers isn’t the coach of the Clippers anymore. That induced a ten-minute-long mental crisis where I repeatedly tried (and repeatedly failed) to…

Rui Hachimura 26 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (3/29/2021)

https://youtu.be/dtwE01KkqIM In between bites of Pop-Tart, I’ve been doing some major thinkage this morning. And after all that thinkage combined with entirely unhealthy amounts of sugar, I’m sort of thinking that Rui Hachimura might have to be excised from my channel in the near future. What follows is a forbidden glimpse into my genius-level thought…

Chandler Hutchison 18 Points Wizards Debut Full Highlights (3/29/2021)

https://youtu.be/0Q7wvLzkNv4 Chandler “The Flying Hutchman” Hutchison is still a bit of an unknown quantity at this point. Over the course of three seasons, he’s appeared in eighty games, which is not even one full season’s worth of games. His career has been disrupted by injuries a few times, and he’s also had stretches where he…

Kelly Olynyk 25 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2021)

https://youtu.be/t73XiNgtC-Y DownToBuck is a well-known dismisser of defense. If defense is being played on NBA courts, I don’t really care about it. I acknowledge that defense is an important part of the game, it’s just not something I can force myself to pay attention to. I’m a simple man: I like buckets, and I like…

Aleksej Pokusevski 21 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2021)

https://youtu.be/X3JKh6dsqlc It was the battle of the tall, skinny, foreign dudes. Alexsej Pokusevski of the Thunder and Kristaps Porzingis of the Mavericks. The question on everybody’s mind: who outplayed who? Which skinny bigman turned in the superior performance? Using my god-given power of truth-seeking, I have analytically analysed all the factual facts to reach a…

Dwayne Bacon 26 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2021)

https://youtu.be/izOVyhzkJCI When Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon, and Evan Fournier all got scattered across the league at the trade deadline, Terrence Ross had the perfect response. He posted that picture of the emaciated-looking Somalian pirate saying “I’m the captain now.” This was in reference to the fact that the Magic no longer had any good players,…

Theo Maledon 22 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2021)

https://youtu.be/Tid_aZlkecs OFFICIAL REASONS TO MAKE THIS VIDEO EVEN THOUGH I’M SEMI-RETIRED AND SHOULDN’T HAVE TO MAKE SIX VIDEOS IN A DAY POWER RANKINGS 1. 22 points is two points less than Theo Maledon’s season high 2. Maledon is a rookie, and his season high is necessarily equivalent to his career high, therefore this game is…
