I’ve mentioned it before, but we’re kinda running out of players from the 2007 draft (what I call the “Jeff Green Draft”). It’s not bad yet, but give it another year or two and it will be worse. Who really thinks that Jared Dudley or Jason Smith can keep getting contracts? Or Joakim Noah? Nick…
Read MoreElfrid Payton 25 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/2/2019)
You know, with that ridiculous hair precipice gone, it’s a lot easier for me to treat Elfrid Payton as a serious NBA player worthy of serious consideration and serious opinions. Back when he had that “poodle sucked through a vacuum” look going, I couldn’t take him seriously. Now my opinions of him, which were previously…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 22 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (1/2/2019)
This D’Angelo “Dan-Jello” Russell performance, of 22 points and 13 assists, is eerily similar to his performance on December 18th, 2018 against the Lakers. In that game (which was probably a REVENGE GAME, if we’re being honest here), D’Angelo again had 22 points and 13 assists. Crazy coincidence, right? Wait, it gets even crazier: he…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 26 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2019)
Two of the highest-profile Jacksons in the NBA met head-to-head tonight. One was a Jackson Junior, but I still think he counts as a Jackson for my purposes. The question is, which Jackson came out ahead? DTB will factually analyze the factual facts, using truth and logic, and at the end of this glorious process,…
Read MoreAlex Len 24 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (1/2/2019)
Alex “Alyexsiyiiy” Len looks like a beast in this video. Do I think he is really a beast in real life? Not really. Replace the “ea” in “beast” with a “u” and you’d be getting closer to what I really think about him. But I can’t deny that he sort of totally made Thomas Bryant…
Read MoreSeth Curry 25 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2019)
Seth Curry is learning from the GOAT2 (GOAT1 is Kareem and Curry can’t learn much from him unless he wants to do skyhooks from three). He already has an MVP brother who he can learn from, but some lessons he can’t help with. LeBron is proficient in other areas of the game that Stephen isn’t,…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 21 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2019)
Derrick Favors’ reign as “best Derrick person” in the NBA has come to a sad end this year. He’s still good, actually he’s better than ever if you look at advanced stats, but Derrick Rose has captured everyone’s hearts with his inspired play and 50-point game tears. I thought I saw some tears leaking out…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2019)
Bogdan Bogdanovic was pretty bad most of this game outside of one stretch during the fourth quarter (and the very butt-end of the third). Luckily for you, you don’t have to relive all the bricks and turnovers, because I have prepared for you something special: a video containing only the good things that he did,…
Read MoreKevin Knox 18 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2019)
New Years’s resolution for Kevin Knox: turn all these sick first-quarter performances into sick full-game performances. There’s probably some stats out there that illustrate his hot starts more exactly, but I’m feeling like, right now, he’s scoring roughly 90 percent of his points in the opening 12 minutes of games. If that was indeed his…
Read MoreMalik Beasley 21 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2019)
This game is why I reserve editorial discretion when it comes to showing assists or not. Malik Beasley had 5 of them, which is a lot, right? Normally, I would show that many for a player like him. But these, my friends, were the worst assists EVER. Not in the sense that they were bad…
