Malachi Flynn Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2021)

https://youtu.be/-HY2wju631w The Raptors may be basically done for the season, playing for nothing, but their fans have not checked out. At least, not ALL of them have checked out. The team itself may be dying to get the heck out of Tampa and get started with the offseason, but these Raptors diehards, they just want…

Mychal Mulder Career High 28 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (5/14/2021)

https://youtu.be/9TrnnuiBMCk The more I watch Mychal Mulder, the more I become convinced that the inevitable conclusion: the Warriors don’t even miss Klay Thompson. Who would miss Klay Thompson when you have a guy who is literally named after Klay’s DAD, and who can hit just as many three-pointers as Klay, and has an absolutely immaculate…

Jay Scrubb 17 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2021)

https://youtu.be/O5fnNRmkTGA I’m honestly overwhelmed by the amount of jokes I could be making right now. I’m paralyzed, I can’t settle on just one when there are SO MANY. And I know I should probably be more respectful to this dude, because it’s not like he chose his last name, and he’s probably really tired of…

Markus Howard 20 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2021)

https://youtu.be/ASEhm0me_NM Watching Markus Howard drop twenty points on the Pistons makes me realize a few things: 1. Being a short man in the NBA is really tough. Defenders are too tall and it’s hard to even get a shot off, whether it’s a layup or a jumper. But all attempts at introducing a basketball league…

Deividas Sirvydis 16 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2021)

https://youtu.be/EVKQicrfWBI Recently, I have been hyping up Ignas Brazdeikis’ recent emergence for the Magic for the sole reason that he was the only DTB-eligible Lithuanian player that was doing anything of note on the court. But now we can shove Brazdeikis to the side because there is a new Lithuanian in the NBA to idolize…

Louis King Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2021)

https://youtu.be/utPqVsDQipM Louis King just dropped 27 points, over doubling his previous career total of 25 points, which he had accumulated in 10 games for the Pistons last year and 4 games for the Kings this year. Just an incredible display of scoring for a player who had not shown much real-life NBA scoring ability. Sometimes…

Ignas Brazdeikis Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2021)

https://youtu.be/xS4t0QTdcvY I’m not going to let these domain squatters squat on my rightfully deserved domain. Everyone knows by now, because he’s been such a beast lately that his national profile has never been higher, that Ignas Brazdeikis’ nickname is “Brazzers”. That was an original nickname creation of mine, maybe not the most creative one (remember:…

Jordan Poole Career High 38 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2021)

https://youtu.be/Vf1_7BNzlGs As far as I could tell, at no point during this broadcast did either commentator remark that what was going on was a “Poole Party”. I would understand, or perhaps even expect, such blatant negligence from a two-bit operation like Bally Sports. But this is ESPN we’re talking about. The self-proclaimed leaders in sports…

Jalen Harris Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2021)

https://youtu.be/_Bwmjbv3_Eg Thanks to the kind folks at TSN (which is not the broadcast you get to see in this particular video, sorry), my statistical horizons have been broadened. They have bestowed upon us a premium factoid that is beyond my means to compute. And that factoid is this: the Raptors have had 10 different players…

T.J. McConnell Career High 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (5/13/2021)

https://youtu.be/DlbvfS0qyOU DTB’S FUN FACT OF THE DAY: Before last night, T.J. McConnell had not scored twenty points in an NBA game. Is that crazy or what? Twenty isn’t THAT many points, all things considered. Plenty of scrubs score twenty points in their careers. Every season there’s a few random scrublords who randomly drop twenty after…
