The Trailblazers decided to employ a tried-and-true strategy against the Kings: use as few bench players as possible. It makes perfect sense; since you’re starting your best players and they make the best lineup, why would you ever take that lineup out of the game? They didn’t go all the way with it, foolishly playing…

The Magic made the playoffs! And they’re not the 8th seed! It’s been a long time coming. The Dwightmare really set the franchise back like a million years apparently, because the last time they made the playoffs was with Dwight Howard on the roster, his last year with them, the 2011-12 season. How many teams…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 27 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
I really, really want Luke “The ‘Nard” Kennard to play a big role for the Pistons in the playoffs. Honestly, if he scored, like, 25 points per game in a four game sweep of the Bucks, I wouldn’t even be mad. Well, maybe a little mad, but mostly just really happy for Kennard. I’m tired…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 18 Points/6 Assists/2 Threes Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
If this game is any indication, the center rotation for the Philadelphia 76ers in the playoffs will consist of these players: -Boban Marjanovic -Greg Monroe -Amir Johnson I don’t know about you, but when I read that list, I start getting HYPED. It’s got it all, the gigantic Euro monster who also has SKILLS, the…
Read MoreZhaire Smith 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
There’s a new article out on some news outlet that I don’t read (and you shouldn’t either; DTB descriptions should be your only reading material) about Zhaire Smith’s allergic reaction that caused his return from injury to be significantly delayed and also caused him to probably almost die. I didn’t read it (because I don’t…

There are lots of rumors about Derrick Rose coming back to the Bulls. Maybe they’re not even rumors: didn’t Rose straight up say he’d be willing to come back? Obviously there are a lot of feelings going on there that would get violently unearthed were such a reunion to take place, feelings from Rose and…
Read MoreIvica Zubac 22 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
This might sound kinda like I’m wearing a tinfoil hat here, but it seems to me that a big reason that Magic Johnson stepped down as GM of the Lakers is Ivica “The Big Croatato” Zubac, or, more specifically, his trade that sent Zubac away for Mike Muscala. Think about it. That trade was a…
Read MoreGrayson Allen Career High 40 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
It’s a real shame that this game was nationally broadcast and we didn’t get to hear the reactions of the home Jazz commentators. I understand that this game had playoff seeding implications, and that TNT schedules are probably decided two decades in advance, but the Jazz rolled out such a scrubtastic lineup that only their…
Read MoreBonzie Colson Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
It’s not likely we see Bonzie Colson in the playoffs, so I guess this probably the last we’ll see of him this season. He’s certainly done a lot more in the games where he got mintues (this game and that Hawks game) then I ever thought he would. I was expecting his career to go…
Read MoreTim Frazier Career High 29 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
Attention all 29 other NBA teams: this is what can be yours if you let Tim Frazier dominate the ball for an entire game. Not just some of the game. Literally ALL of the game. The requirement for monster statlines for Frazier is that he play all 48 minutes. Any less, and his confidence is…
