Taj Gibson’s twenty-point outburst in game three is the first time in this series that a non-Westbrook player has scored twenty or more. Andre Roberson of all people came closest when he scored eighteen, but Taj became the first to have his point total be a two-digit number starting with the number 2. There are…

Kyle Anderson 15 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2017)
I found it funny that the only guy who Kyle “Slo-Mo” Anderson could take one-on-one in this game was Vince Carter, the one wing in the league who might be slower than Slo-Mo himself. Even then, he could only abuse the matchup a few times, and relied on his sweet midrange game to get him…
Read MoreThon Maker 11 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2017)
It’s totally blowing my mind right now that Thon Maker is contributing as the starter on a playoff team. This is not something I expected going into the season (neither the contributing part or the playoff team part). Malcolm Brogdon, sure. But not Maker. He’s not contributing a ridiculous amount, mind you, but he’s playing…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/20/2017)
Khris Middleton pretty much dominated the first 6 minutes of this game with his scoring. It didn’t even matter that he only scored 9 more points the rest of the game; the Raptors withered quickly under his initial assault, and it was all mop-up duty after that. The Rip Hamilton comp that was thrown out…
Read MoreDTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Month (April 2017 Dunkilation)
It was past midnight, and the park was quiet. Nick stood in front of the basketball hoop with a ball in his hands, but didn’t move. This was the first test. Had his months of hard work and strict adherence to the workout plan paid off? He would soon find out, and the thought made…
Read MoreEric Gordon 22 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2017)
Here’s the narrative that ESPN wants you to swallow like a nasty child taking some foul-tasting medicine: Harden has teammates who are actually good shooters (Gordon, Anderson, Williams) while Westbrook doesn’t (Grant, Roberson, Oladipo), so that’s why the Rockets are up 2-0 over the Thunder right now. That’s the official narrative that the collective NBA…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 15 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (4/19/2017)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpotujwTbDo It’s too bad that Draymond Green is so adept at filling in at the center position, and it’s also too bad that Zaza Pachulia still exists and isn’t dead, because both those things are preventing JaVale McGee from getting as many minutes as we all want. He still has yet to play over twenty…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 23 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2017)
Listening to a Hawks-Wizards game commentated by the 76ers’ Mark Zumoff and the Nets’ Mike Fratello is basically the worst thing for my sanity ever. If it’s not the 76ers, I don’t want to hear Zumoff. I just don’t. He can say “turns garbage into gold” all he wants when Joel Embiid and Dario Saric…
Read MoreMarcin Gortat 14 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (4/19/2017)
Normally when I make a Marcin Gortat vid, it shows a lot of Gortat doing his own thing. Post moves. Or, at least, him making a few nice mini-jumpers. Not so in this video. He has one iso post-up, and one mini-jumper, and then he’s spoonfed by John Wall for the rest of his buckets….
Read MoreRobin Lopez 18 Points Full Highlights (4/18/2017)
The Bulls, despite me (and their entire fanbase) never shutting up about how much they sucked throughout the year, are somehow up 2-0 on the top-seeded Boston Celtics. This is as baffling to me as I’m sure it is for you. I mean, I saw them quit halfway through the season. I saw it with…
