As Tony Fiorentino kindly reminded us, Duncan Robinson is currently fifth in the NBA in three-pointers made. However, I would argue that he is in first, given that the four players ahead of him should be disqualified for various reasons which I will explain below. Keep in mind that totals are tabulated before tonight’s games…

Gary Trent 22 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
I may have underestimated Gary Trent when I repeatedly compared him to Tony Snell. One commentators suggestion of a different comparison, Wes Matthews, might be more appropriate at this point. The defense, the three-pointers (no bow-and-arrow celebration though), the low usage which combines nicely with the Chuck Bros of Lillard and McCollum…it matches up way…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
Trevor Ariza has had way more good games for the Blazers in his short stint there than he ever did for the Kings earlier this season. Just to remind you, his season-high as a King was eighteen points. In nine games with the Blazers, he’s scored more than that three different times. And now I’m…
Read MoreDe’Andre Hunter 19 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: De’Andre Hunter had five steals in this game, and I was well aware of that fact while editing the video, but they are not shown here. My reason? Steals are notoriously random in the NBA, maybe not as random as assists and blocked shots, but still random. Often I will attempt to…
Read MoreAmir Coffey 10 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
Prior to this game and my making of this highlight video, the only thing I knew about Amir Coffey was that he played for the Clippers. I also sort of knew what he looked like. I had never gotten a clear look at him, but I knew he was moderately tall and that he was…um…lighter…
Read MoreKevin Porter 17 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
Tonight was the first game of the “Andre Drummond” era of Cleveland Cavaliers basketball. I can think of some other eras of Cleveland Cavaliers basketball that might have had more potential for success than this one, but it is, definitely a whole new era. And, following in the trend of the Andre Drummond era of…
Read MoreReggie Bullock 21 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
Reggie Bullock was another one of those numerous Knicks players who had rumors swirling around him as the trade deadline drew closer, closer, and ultimately went by. He is a good shooter in theory, and he was inactive for enough of the season that his stats don’t necessarily represent how good of a player he…
Read MoreMoritz Wagner 19 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
That thirty-point game that Moritz “Der Gotterdammerung” Wagner dropped in the first month of the season continues to wreak havoc on my Wagner-related thought processes. Even though I know logically that he’s just a low-end role-player, that thirty-burger has tricked part of my mind into thinking that he’s a night-in, night-out scoring god who makes…
Read MoreJa Morant Triple Double 27 Pts/10 Asts/10 Rebs Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
The legend of Fourth Quarter Ja Morant continues to grow, except it’s not really a legend if you can verify it with your own eyes, is it? So it’s actually the reality of Forth Quarter Ja Morant. A legend would be like if Ja Morant was rumored to bathe in the blood of real grizzly…
Read MoreLuke Kornet Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
Luke Kornet had somehow gotten lost on the way to the team bus. He had navigated the Wells Fargo Center successfully in the past, but always with a group of teammates in case one of them turned the wrong way. This time, he had set out alone, and now he was paying the price. He…
