Bogdan Bogdanovic 24 Points Full Highlights (7/31/2020)

So Vlade Divac and the Kings completely and utterly failed to acquire a third Serbian player during the bonus transaction period that the NBA unexpectedly gifted every team. It was like God finally listened to my prayers to give Divac the chance to get another Serbian on the Kings through legitimate means in time for…

Jusuf Nurkic 18 Points/5 Assists/6 Blocks Full Highlights (7/31/2020)

This is Jusuf Nurkic’s first “real” NBA game since he did unmentionable things to his leg near the end of the 2018-19 season. What better way for him to return to the league and make his presence felt than by putting up the Nurkician statline of 18/9/5/2/6? Meanwhile, the forgotten man Hassan Whiteside, who was…

Jaren Jackson Jr. 33 Points Full Highlights (7/31/2020)

Jaren Jackson Jr. attempted 15 three-pointers this game. That ties a career high in 3PA that he originally set when he dropped 43 points on the Bucks (no, I am not still salty about that game, but thank you for your concern). Did he spend the four months of NBA postponeage doing nothing but practicing…

Rui Hachimura 21 Points Full Highlights (7/31/2020)

I already made and uploaded the Rui Hachimura midrange-ilation for this season. It has 3,600 views (approximately). It only contains 49 midrange jumpshots, but it’s an entertaining video for what it is. And now Hachimura has decided to make three more midrange jumpshots in his first regular season bubble game. What am I supposed to…

Jerome Robinson 20 Points Full Highlights (7/31/2020)

Allow me to flex for a little bit: I thought that Jerome Robinson looked pretty good in the scrimmage games. That’s right: I actually sometimes watch FULL games and am able to form opinions on and draw inferences from them. Meanwhile, all you can manage to do is feebly watch highlight videos with your half-lidded…

Jonathan Isaac 16 Points Full Highlights (7/31/2020)

One of the underrated things about COVID-19 is that it has the potential to turn season-ending injuries into non-season-ending injuries. A miracle of modern medicine! You thought Kevin Durant was done? Faugh! With so many extra months to rehab, there’d be no way he wouldn’t want to return and lead the Nets to… Actually since…

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (7/31/2020)

I have only myself to blame for getting all excited about how crazy the lineups were going to look from the last time Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot scored 24 points, back in April of 2017. I mean, he was on the 76ers. It was April. Who KNOWS what kind of crazy garbage players he was sharing the…

Dion Waiters 11 Points Lakers Debut Full Highlights (7/30/2020)

The oft-mocked acquisition of Dion Waters by the Lakers has already paid dividends. Because I don’t think it’s wrong to say that Waiters WON this game for his new team. Take away his 5 buckets (only one fewer bucket than LeBron, take that for data), take away his 11 points, and do the Lakers come…

Jordan Clarkson 23 Points Full Highlights (7/30/2020)

OFFICIAL DTB POLICY UPDATE: Jordan Clarkson has, effective immediately, been moved off my OFFICIAL EXCLUSION LIST. That means he is now ELIGIBLE to receive highlightage courtesy of everybody’s favorite scrub-themed NBA highlight maker, DownToBuck. My rationale for this sudden policy update is three-fold. Actually it’s probably more folds than that but I haven’t thought this…

Zion Williamson 13 Points Full Highlights (7/30/2020)

I wake up to the sound of rain pounding on my window. How many days in a row has it been raining? It seems like forever. The clock next to my bed says 10:46 AM. I’ve overslept again, but can it really be called oversleeping when your excessive sleep isn’t causing you to miss anything…
