The Heat need to strike while the iron is hot. Josh Richardson just scored 31, his value has never been higher, so now is the time to trade him for Jimmy Butler. If Riley sweet-talks Thibs enough, maybe he could even make it a straight one-for-one deal. Richardson for Butler. Straight up. I don’t know…
Read MoreAntonio Blakeney Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
If the Bulls tank starts really picking up steam as the season goes on, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Antonio Blakeney drop a 40-burger à la Jordan Crawford. Strange to say about a guy who just now broke the 20-point barrier, but just watch him play. There’s no doubt that he can take the…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 19 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
Ersan Ilyasova is back on the Bucks! The initial excitement has worn off for me a little bit, but it’s still great to see him back where he belongs. You may notice the “vintage” thumbnail image, evocative of the ones I was using around 2015. True DTB historians will remember that the image of Ilyasova…
Read MorePascal Siakam Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
Pascal “SICKam” Siakam was MAD at Ersan Ilyasova early in this one. Taking it right at him multiple teams with success. Ilyasova can only play defense if he’s taking charges; if he’s not doing that, he’ll get toasted by anyone with speed or strength. Siakam has the speed for sure. Strength, yeah, why not. Unlike…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 30 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
No Kawhi? No problem! All you need is the devastating Afri-duo of Serge Ibaka (seen here) and Pascal Siakam (coming soon). They combined for 52 points on 22 of 37 shooting, torching all the bigs that the Bucks had to throw at them. To be fair, and fairness is what I’m all about when it…
Read MoreZach Collins 17 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
While compiling this highlights package, I noticed some serious budding chemistry between Nik Stauskas (giving) and Zach Collins (receiving). Blazers fans would probably want chemistry between more important players, like more McCollum/Lillard chemistry or Evan Turner chemistry with something other than bricks. But this is still good. Stauskas gets to continue building a reputation as…
Read MoreWendell Carter 18 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
The downside of Klay Thompson going nuclear on the Bulls is that the Bulls commentators had no words to spare for their rookie, Wendell Carter, who was having a career night. He absolutely postered a dude, the dude’s arms were all up in there but Carter was still dunking, and they didn’t even talk about…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 31 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
Luke Doncic looking fresh! His previous unshaven and disheveled appearance combined with his ever-so-slight tubbiness had him looking more like a basement-dwelling NBA-YouTube-commenting loser than an actual NBA player. Is “fresh” even still a term people use anymore? If not, I apologize for not knowing the latest lingo. At least be glad that I didn’t…
Read MoreAlfonzo McKinnie Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
Uh oh, Toronto, looks like this is the one you let slip away. Alfonzo McKinnie was ready AND willing to be a Raptor for life, and you waived him. Straight up cold-hearted waivement was what you perpetrated on him. And I’m looking at your current game right now, and it looks like you’re getting your…
Read MorePatrick Patterson 17 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2018)
Welcome back Patrick “Tupat” Patterson! Last time I made a vid for him was during the 2015(!) playoffs, where he scored 15. For regular-season Tupat action you have to go back to frickin’ 2014. Those dates give you an idea of how long he’s been a poor offensive player. He was good, or at least…
