As of right now, the SRROTY (second-round rookie of the year) race is down to two players: Jalen Brunson and Mitchell Robinson. Thrown in Rodions Kurucs if you want, but he’s been in a bit of a slumpy-wump recently, while Brunson and Robinson are surging. Both of these true candidates are averaging around 19 minutes…
Read MoreFrank Jackson 20 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
I don’t know where Frank Jackson got the idea to shoot twenty shots, or to shoot eight threes (making one of them), but it doesn’t matter where he got the idea from. He could’ve gotten it from Anthony Davis who’s trying to sabotage the team from within. He could’ve gotten it from Alvin Gentry because…
Read MoreOtto Porter 23 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
I will admit that I had not seen the music video for Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long” until just now. DTB doesn’t stay up on current pop trends at all, and his only knowledge of yesteryear’s pop comes from Rickrolling and TV commercials. After watching the video (which was just a bunch of people doing…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 24 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
My first impression was that Luka “Lukadris” Doncic maybe did just a little bit of statpadding at the end of this game when the outcome (a Mavs loss) was already determined. Maybe I sorta think that, but the Mavs had closed the gap to the point where three Doncic triples in a row would have…
Read MoreBrandon Knight 15 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
Let the record show that I was, maybe not a Brandon Knight supporter, but a Brandon Knight tolerator during his time with the Bucks. Did I think he should have been an All-Star that one year? Yeah, I kinda think he should have been, but I wasn’t totally butthurt that he wasn’t. As I said,…
Read MoreCollin Sexton 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
If there’s a perfect video out there for floater fetishists (I know you’re out there, you depraved hellbound sickos), it’s this one. Okay, so it’s not ALL floaters, but the second half of the video is so loaded up with floaters that you’d think you were at a kids’ pool party. Watching this game after…
Read MoreBobby Portis 23 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
I feel like Bobby Portis has probably had Kevin Garnett comparisons thrown at him for a long time, likely since high school. I’m too lazy to look up his draft profile right now, but a ctrl+f for “Kevin Garnett” on that profile has gotta turn up a minimum of five results, right? Because the vibe…
Read MoreMarvin Williams 30 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
“Um, Mr. Williams?” said one of the ballboys in a tentative voice. Marvin Williams smiled kindly at him as he got ready to change out of his street clothes into his game jersey. “What’s up?” The ballboy still seemed nervous; he looked down at the floor as he talked rather than directly at the person…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 27 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
It seems like every game, the gulf between Jonas Valanciunas and Marc Gasol grows wider. Tonight, the young, spry, active, attractive Lithuanian Valanciunas had a season-high 27 points. The slow, elderly, lumpy Spaniard Marc Gasol had a season-low four points. I recommend that all viewers take a moment right now to laugh heartily at the…
Read MoreMyles Turner 22 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2019)
If we could somehow transplant Myles “Elston” Turner’s jumpshot into Giannis Antetokounmpo, that would be it for the league. There would be no stopping him, so I guess it’s good that the technology for jumper transplants is probably a few deacdes away at this point. Even so, the existence of a fellow bigman with such…
