For most of this season (which is now half over – where did the time go?), Malik Beasley has been the undisputed leader for the “Best Beasley in the NBA” award. And here, we can really say “undisputed”, because the other Beasley, Michael Beasley, wasn’t even appearing in games for the Lakers. All Malik had…
Read MoreKelly Oubre Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
“Uh, Kelly, what are you doing out here? Coach says you gotta get your butt back to practice.” Kelly Oubre looked up with annoyance at Devin Booker, who was apparently the teammate chosen to come find him after he had announced that he needed a “bathroom break” fifteen minutes into practice. “I’m busy,” he said,…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 22 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
Looking at Bogdan Bogdanovic’s relatively unstylish haircut and his complete lack of facial hair, I was suddenly reminded of a former Kings player who was from the same approximate region of the world and had a similar plain appearance. I’ll give you a little while for you to figure out who I’m thinking of. Remember…
Read MoreJosh Okogie 17 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
Josh Okogie, despite tying a career high with seventeen points (note for future viewers: Okogie is a rookie in this season, so “career high” doesn’t mean much), actually didn’t have a great game shooting the ball. He was fine from inside the arc, but a dreadful 1-of-8 from three. A lot of players have had…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 28 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
When I saw that Aaron Gordon scored 28 points in the Magic’s improbable win over the Celtics, I immediately thought one thing: SLAG has returned. (SLAG is my nickname for Gordon – it stands for Summer League Aaron Gordon, but the nickname is not always applicable.) Then, my eye slid across his statline, only to…
Read MoreJaMychal Green 24 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
DTB is very well attuned to the needs and desires of the highlights-viewing public. How could I not be? I have been at the forefront of NBA highlights on YouTube for the better part of a decade. My finger is on the pulse of the fans even when my own pulse has been dangerously slowed…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 25 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
There are rumors that the Orlando Magic are looking to trade Terrence Ross. Great! My favorite time of the NBA year after 10-day-contract time, hard trade-deadline time, opening-night time, and closing-night time (regular season), is trade-rumors time. I love a good trade rumor or 10 or 100. There are so many permutations to analyze, so…
Read MoreJustise Winslow 26 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
Justise Winslow scored his final point with 8:11 left in the third quarter. Heading into the second half, I was hopeful that I would see him break the career-high of 28 he set a month ago, and when he started the half hitting a bunch more buckets, I was sure that the record would fall….
Read MoreDerrick Rose 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
It’s likely that I’ve advanced this opinion before, but I don’t care: the Minnesota Timberwolves need to wear these black/purple jerseys more often. They’re, as the kids say these days, “dank”. They make everybody look good in a dark retro synthwave type of way. The bright green jerseys also need to be worn more often…
Read MoreMike Muscala 16 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
Mike “Muscy Stench” Muscala was rudely jammed into the starting lineup in the absence of Joel Embiid, who was out with a sore ankle. I don’t want to freak anyone out here, but the Achilles is kind of near the ankle, and the fact that the whole area was sore is very concerning to me….
