Cameron Payne’s last name makes it way too easy to come up with nicknames for him. Like, it’s not even fun. I wrote down about thirty of them and didn’t even break a sweat. Rather than share with you any insights I have about Cameron Payne’s game or style of play (here’s a hint: I…
Read MoreMarcus Smart Triple Double 10 pts/11 asts/11 rebs Full Highlights (1/15/2015)
If Marcus Smart was LeBron James or Russell Westbrook, the NBA would take a look at this triple-double. But he isn’t, and they won’t, so it’s all good. All the assists are, at least, instances where he passed the ball (unlike that Giannis trip-dub). There was an offensive rebound that was kind of iffy, where,…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 25 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2016)
At what point do I say “enough is enough”? Andrew Wiggins has gotten to be a pretty good player, despite being a first overall pick playing for the Timberwolves (awwww yeah low-key dis on Anthony Bennett!). Scoring-wise, at least. Over 20 points per game for any prospect in their second year is damn good. The…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 21 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2016)
I was getting a little antsy for a while there. Game after game, night after night, Kelly Olynyk trotting out onto the court with his hair styled as a “man-bun”. Here’s DTB’s “Style Tip of the Day”: if you don’t have a super-rugged looking beard, you can’t pull off a man-bun. You just can’t. It’s…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 18 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2016)
For the full Frank Kaminsky experience, I suggest watching this video of him scoring 18 followed by watching the video I just made of Ryan Anderson scoring 32. Such an arrangement of highlights will provide the best of both worlds for Frank; him doing about as much scoring as we could have hoped for this…
Read MoreRyan Anderson 32 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2016)
This video is pretty good. Great, even. Features lots of sweet Ryan Anderson buckets. Step backs, threes, a dunk-type-thing, it’s really a nice representation of his game. There’s only one problem. See that kid sitting on the left baseline, freaking out when Ryno makes a shot? Yeah, that one. He’s a great addition to the…
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 22 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2016)
Fret not, Jordan Clarkson fans. It is only a matter of time before your quarter-Filipino idol becomes the Lakers’s shooting guard of the future. Kobe will be retiring soon. Nick Young and Lou Williams are still, regrettably, under contract for a few more years, but those deals can be moved. Or you can just bench…
Read MoreJason Smith 16 Points/8 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (1/14/2016)
If this was a fair world, Jason Smith would have scored at least 26 in this game and tied his career high. However, as our tragic human experience has repeatedly informed us, this is a decidedly UNFAIR world, and so Jason Smith scored 16 points in the first half and then failed to score any…
Read MoreCory Joseph 19 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2016)
Based on my extensive knowledge of British demographics, I have totalled the various types of people who attended yesterday’s game in London: -2,000 chavs -500 chavettes -1,200 football hooligans -300 Polish people who stole all the jobs -5,000 posh totties -3,000 scousers -700 tories -too many Pakis -1 cheeky cunt -0 people who know who…
Read MoreRobert Covington 25 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2016)
O Baller of Terror, Black Man, He-Who-brings-the-defenders-to-justice, 76er of Brett, Turn not Your forehead-wrinkles against us. We bend our arms to You, We fall on our bellies before Your red rage, No team can withstand the fire of Your righteousness. Turn not Your forehead-wrinkles against us. The weak cry out to You, The sick pray…
