https://youtu.be/gQd_vC4xfcw Out of all things in the world that you could christen “Timelord”, I feel like a shot-blocking center in the NBA is the last thing that would earn that moniker. I don’t even know how he got the nickname, all I know is that I can’t make sense of it. Nothing about him screams…

Semi Ojeleye Career High 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/11/2021)
https://youtu.be/OztX3wC9aGM I love it, absolutely love it, when unheralded role-players unexpectedly outplay their higher-profile “star” teammates. Except, for me, it’s not unexpected at all. It’s completely expected, because what burns in my heart is the inextinguishable flame of scrubbophilia, and that scrubbophilia flame ensures that I am always rooting for these guys to play well….

https://youtu.be/v9y49V5ZxAI While this is the third Carsen Edwards highlight video on my channel, an amount of videos that makes me one of the most prolific providers of Carsen Edwards highlightage on the entirety of the internetubes, there really is just one Carsen Edwards highlight video that you need to watch, and it isn’t this one….
Read MoreDaniel Theis 23 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2021)
https://youtu.be/uHyFjhbyqgo 23 points might not seem like enough points for this new-and-improved epoch of DownToBuck highlightage, but once I reveal this interesting statistical tidbit to you, you will feel ashamed that you ever allowed such a blasphemous thought to form inside the withered blob of dying synapses that you charitably call your “brain”: Daniel Theis’…

https://youtu.be/_tw4NfrN5jo We might be only a week and a half into the season, but it’s NEVER too early to start obsessing over which players were the “steals” of the draft. This process of determining which front offices displayed extreme amounts of prescience in cashing in their non-lottery draft picks, and which front offices completely bungled…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 20 Points Full Highlights (9/27/2020)
The Celtics’ season is over. Now would be a good time to provide some final thoughts on what went wrong (or maybe, what went right), but if we’re being TBQH with each other, I don’t really want to think about the Celtics right now. There will be no epitaph. No obituary. No eulogy. I have…
Read MoreDaniel Theis 15 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (9/25/2020)
As soon as he checked in, Enes Kanter made an immediate impact on this game, getting two buckets in his first minute of action. When I witnessed it, the first thought spontaneously generated by my tangled mass of neurons and axons that could charitably be called a “brain” was “Daniel Theis is not going to…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 26 Points Full Highlights (9/15/2020)
One of the most important plays that Marcus Smart had in this game is not actually shown in this video. With 22 seconds left in the game and the Celtics inbounding the ball down by one point, Marcus Smart drew an away-from-the-play foul, netting the Celtics a single free throw which tied the game and…

Daniel Theis is completely outplaying Marc Gasol in this series and I am loving every moment of it. We’re not going to bring their nationalities into it (not that Germans and Spaniards hate each other as far as I know) but we are going to bring their continentalities into it: both are from Europe so…
