This is the second game in a row Nikola Jokic has been one statistical unit short of a triple-double. At least this means he’s not a stat-padder. He was a rebound short last time, and you absolutely know that if he wanted to grab a rebound, he would grab a rebuond. Assists are iffier but,…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 25 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (10/31/2018)
Spencer Dinwiddie scored his first points tonight with 5 minutes to go in the third quarter. A series of clutch threes later, he walked off the floor with 25 points and the win. In honor of D-Rose, I’m not even going to tell you how many points Dinwiddie would’ve had had he gotten to do…
Read MoreWendell Carter 25 Points/5 Assists/3 Blocks Full Highlights (10/31/2018)
I don’t know if anyone has any highlight-watching energy left after seeing a left-for-dead Derrick Rose score 50 and then tear up as his teammates mobbed him (I left that part out so that I wouldn’t make you guys cry as well). So this video is really more for future people who want to see…
Read MoreDerrick Rose Career High 50 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2018)
Derrick Rose opened his eyes and was initially surprised at where he found himself. Then, as his eyes became adjusted to the scene in front of him, the feeling of surprise dwindled and was replaced by…what? Anticipation? Expectation? A lush garden path, overflowing with flowers of all varieties, stretched forward from the bench he was…
Read MoreDwyane Wade 19 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
Early returns on this season are that Dwyane Wade can shoot threes now. That’s good news now that he’s not as athletic as he once was; drives to the basket are both harder to accomplish and more hazardous to his health once he gets near the rim. Wade has always been a poor three-point shooter…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 22 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
“Hello friend Meyers.” Looking up from his phone, Meyers Leonard regarded his teammate Jusuf Nurkic with narrowed, suspicious eyes. “Hey Nurk.” “I wanting to talk to you about minutes situation,” Jusuf said, knowing that this question would almost certainly provoke an emotional response from Meyers. “What’s there to talk about?” Meyers asked. “There’s not enough…
Read MoreCollin Sexton 17 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Collin Sexton made just four field goals to score his 17 points. Eight free throws were used to make up the difference. As you and I both know, field goals are way more interesting to watch than free throws, so the end result is a video which is not as compelling as…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 25 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
I’m looking at Buddy Hield’s basketball-reference page and I’m seeing that he’s started all 8 games this season after barely starting that many all of last season. It seems clear to me that Buddy should have been the starter last year as well, but I’m struggling to remember who was starting in his place at…
Read MoreTony Parker 24 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
Basketball-wise, I don’t care that Tony Parker is on the Hornets now. There’s no sentimentality or anything for me seeing him in a new uni. What is a problem, though, is that he totally messed up the aesthetic-ness of his basketball-reference page. Looking at his career, there’s like 15 rows in a row that start…
Read MoreDanilo Gallinari 27 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2018)
I don’t know why I think Danilo Gallinari is way older than he is. I guess because he’s been in the league for a decade now, but he’s only 30 years old. Every year I think it’s going to be the last year where he’s good, and that he’ll come into the season totally unable…
