Malik Monk 24 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2019)

Malik Monk had nineteen points in the fourth quarter of this game. That’s a good thing. Malik Monk also played the entire fourth quarter, and during that time, the Clippers scored 42 points. That’s a bad thing. I think those two statements, when combined, form the essence of Monk. He can score, but he’s not…

Tony Parker 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/6/2019)

Tony Parker dimed up Willy Hernangomez for his first five assists in this game. I was thinking to myself, are all six of his assists going to be to the same player? That’s not the kind of occurrence where my BHL (blood hype level) would spike and cause me to fall into a coma, but…

Willy Hernangomez 19 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2019)

Right now, there is a fierce “deportation battle” going on in Charlotte. The combatants? Willy Hernangomez of Spain and Bismack Biyombo of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In their struggle over center minutes newly freed by the injury to Cody Zeller, each player is trying with all their might to get the other deported…

Bismack Biyombo 16 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2019)

Bismack “Bustmack” Biyombo has been a DNP-magnet for the entirety of his second stint with the Hornets, the team that originally drafted him. Basically every big man on the Hornets’ roster has been ahead of Biyombust in the rotation, even guys like Willy Hernangomez and Frank Kaminsky. Those dudes have also gotten their fair share…

Malik Monk 21 Points Full HIghlights (12/31/2018)

I would like to apologize to Steve Clifford. I treated him unfairly, thinking that he was blatantly holding down Malik Monk (who I perceived to be a grade-A talent) to further his own nefarious goals of promoting Julyan Stone (the Chris Paul stopper). I was mad on all of Charlotte’s behalf, struggling to understand why…

Devonte’ Graham 11 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/29/2018)

OFFICIAL DTB NOTICE: Viewers should note that Devonte’ Graham is not the same player as Treveon Graham, the guy who played for the Hornets last season and now plays for the Nets. They are two totally different people and neither of them is related to Joey Graham or Stephen Graham. So if you are perusing…

Jeremy Lamb 31 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2018)

Everyone gives OKC crap for trading away James Harden in his prime, trading away Serge Ibaka in his prime, not retaining Royal Ivey after signing him to a 10-day contract, letting Caron Butler walk, but no one ever talks about how they messed up by trading Jeremy Lamb for frickin’ LUKE RIDNOUR (who they then…

Willy Hernangomez 19 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2018)

I need a kind Charlotte fan to tell me why the heck Willy Hernangomez isn’t playing. Because I can’t figure it out at all. I figure he must be severely lacking in the “defense” department, but it must be really awful if that offsets his scoring and rebounding ability. The Knicks were doing the same…

Marvin Williams 24 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/21/2018)

Marvin Williams is only 32 years old, how messed up is that? He’s been a low-usage role-players for almost a whole decade now, and if he can continue shooting the three-ball well, he can be a low-usage role-player for another decade. At the very least, him playing 20 seasons is something that can definitely happen…

Malik Monk 19 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2018)

Whenever I see a player fall into the trap of “do a bunch of meaningless dribble moves and then jack an 18-foot jumper” I despair for them. Maybe Malik Monk was just trying to catch the eye of Lance Stephenson, but getting a good shot for your team is infinitely more important than trying to…
