As we have seen from the past two games, all you need to do in order to turn Alonzo Gee into a serviceable player is…injure your entire starting lineup and most of your bench. That’s not a realistic scenario most of the time, but it is right now, considering the disturbing assortment of mangled bodies…
Read MoreJonathon Simmons 17 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2016)
This doesn’t have much to do with Jonathon Simmons, but does anyone else think that the Spurs have a good shot to beat the Warriors in the playoffs (assuming they meet)? Not just a good shot, but like over a 50 percent chance of winning a series? There are other people out there who share…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 13 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2016)
This is not the offensive explosion I hoped for when Popovich placed Boban Marjanovic in the starting lineup. 13 points isn’t BAD, per se, but, being the optimist that I am, I anticipated more. I guess things just don’t come as easy against starters as they do against 4th-quarter scrub units. That’s the main issue…
Read MoreAl-Farouq Aminu Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2016)
Here’s some crazy stuff to take your mind off things while you try to figure out where your life went so wrong that you’re watching Al-Farouq Aminu score a career high 20 points: The last time Aminu scored 20, he was a rookie playing in his 8th game, coming off the bench for a team…
Read MoreDewayne Dedmon Career High 18 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2016)
This video is everything I hoped it would be and more. Why do I say that? Because there was one basket made outside of the paint! I was expecting a bevy of cheap layups and dunks, but no: Dewayne Dedmon managed to step outside to about the free throw line and nail a jumper, defying…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 23 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2016)
One of the Timberwolves commentators says at the end of the video that there’s a 3000-to-1 chance of winning the game when down by 12 with 44 seconds left. Pretty longs odds, but not totally unwinnable. What kind of scenario would have to play out for victory to be snatched from the iron grip of…
Read MoreSergey Karasev 17 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2016)
It has finally happened: Sergey Karasev has achieved the fabled “good game”. Once thought to be found only in the domain of legendry, the “good game by Sergey Karasev” had previously only been reported in lands far from here. Many believed that it was a myth concoted by his agent, or a mis-identification of a…
Read MoreJabari Parker 19 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2016)
I didn’t really want to make these highlights. I had already seen them while actually watching the game live, and besides, it’s almost lunchtime in DTB land, and there’s nothing worse than trying to get work done on an empty stomach. Surely, I figured, someone else had compiled all of Jabari Parker’s made baskets from…
Read MoreJohn Henson 17 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2016)
I don’t think John Henson gets enough press for how insane of a shotblocker he is. He’s the only guy in the league who can compare to Hassan Whiteside in that regard, but while the basketball punditry is eager to get on their knees for Whitewide, Henson goes unserviced. I get that he doesn’t receive…
Read MoreChris Andersen 13 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (3/25/2016)
Chris Andersen is so tatted up with colorful tattoos that it makes me happy just to look at him. Amid the subdued colors of the Grizzlies and Spurs jerseys he stands out like a vibrant tropical bird. A bird with a beard. I guess that’s why they call him “Birdman”. It’s going to be a…
