“THIS IS VERY SOFT PLAYER” Georgios Papagiannis took his father’s words to heart when he bodied up Dragan Bender near the end of the first quarter. Knowing that the player he was posting up was a very soft player, he aggressively established position, only to get into a minor scuffle with said soft player. And,…

Tyler Ulis 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/11/2017)
That’s it. It’s all over. The Suns finish with a 24-58 record, the worst in the West. There are some positives to take away from the situation, though: Tyler Ulis looks like a decent starter going forward. T.J. Warren is the next M.J. except he’s bigger. Marquese Chriss wasn’t a bust. Those are all positives….
Read MoreTy Lawson Triple Double 22 Pts/12 Asts/11 Rebs Full Highlights (4/11/2017)
I’m extremely surprised that this is the first triple-double of Ty Lawson’s career. He averaged 15 and 10 a couple years ago on the Nuggets (the year before his career totally derailed); normally players averaging double-digit points and assists are gonna statpad their way to at least a few 10-rebound games. All it takes usually…
Read MoreCheick Diallo 19 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2017)
Discount Diallo Cheick! The Malian Mauler! The innumerable question marks that so adorned my perception of his last 19-point performance have been reduced to only a few: ???? ?? ? Unlike last time, all the way back in December, this one we could have seen coming at least a little bit. This is April NBA….
Read MoreBuddy Hield Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2017)
Yup, the 12-foot tall purple Buddy Hield statue that I accidentally had 3D-printed is definitely alive. I think. I had my suspicions before, but the evidence continues piling up. First it was the Hot Pocket incident, now this. Things just keep going from bad to worse over here in DTB-land. I again tried asking for…
Read MoreMetta World Peace 18 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2017)
Anyone else getting Kobe-scoring-60-in-his-final-game vibes from this 18-point performance by Metta World Peace? I can’t be the only one. The similarities are too… similar. MWP isn’t even close to the absolute legend that Kobe was, but he’s quickly gained the same type of respect among Lakers fans. I’m not even going to make any Malice…
Read MoreGary Harris 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (4/11/2017)
There are a lot of players in the NBA that I am #hyped for. So many great young talents in the league right now, and even more not-so-great not-so-young not-so-talents. Ancient fringe role-players, rookies who can barely run without fouling or turning it over, all the way up to legit 20 ppg dudes who for…
Read MoreMalik Beasley Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2017)
It’s been five whole months, almost the entire season, since I last had the privilege of highlighting Malik Beasley. He had 12 points in his third appearance of the season, setting my, and Nuggets fans’, expectations high. Denver, though, had playoff aspirations in mind until very recently, and Beasley was not given much of a…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 21 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2017)
With a dismal 76-103 loss, the book has now closed on the Hornets 2016-17 season. A season where they outscored their opponents, but ended up 10 games below .500. A season where all of Steve Clifford’s “Jesus Christ”s and “mothereffer”s could not stop them from blowing close game after close game. A season where they…
Read MoreBobby Brown 15 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/10/2017)
Is Bobby Brown ruining James Harden’s already flagging campaign for MVP? He just put up fifteen points and nine assists, proving once again that any shooting guard in the D’Antoni system can put up pretty-looking numbers that include a lot of assists as long as they put their mind to it. Voters are going to…
