Lauri “White Death” Markkanen had a decent outing tonight despite being surrounded by circus clowns masquerading as basketball players. There are lots of ways young players can prove they’re good, and one of those ways is by being good in the face of adversity. They can also prove the same by being good while on…

Antonio Blakeney 16 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2017)
The first thing I thought of, immediately, when I saw Antonio Blakeney was this: Flattop-era Brandon Jennings. I’m pretty sure Jennings scored 55 with that thing on his head, so this is a good sign for Sir Blakeney. Another good sign for him: his name really goes well with the title “Sir”. This is an…
Read MoreKris Dunn 15 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)
If there’s anything positive to take away from the Bulls’ spanking, 94-133, at the hands of the Spurs last night, it’s that Kris Dunn scored fifteen points on a varied selection of shots: layups, midrange, the three, he did a little bit of it all. Just forget that it took him fifteen shots to score…
Read MoreKris Dunn 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
Location of the least exciting point-guard battle in recorded history: Chicago. Belligerents: Kris Dunn and Jerian Grant. Outcome: Decisive loss for people who want to watch good basketball. You can argue the merits of both players, but unless one of them gets way better, it doesn’t really matter who starts and who doesn’t. Dunn theoretically…
Read MoreBobby Portis 20 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
We have to, as fans, move on from the Bobby Portis/Nikola Mirotic punching incident. We have to be mature, we have to show that we are not amused by such debased depravity. We approach basketball in a studious manner, we are students of the game, and we care not for the E!SPN-driven drama outside of…

It’s time for another DTB Quick Quiz, where if you get any answers wrong I terminate your YouTube account forever and you also forfeit your right to ever again hold an NBA-related opinion. Question 1: What adjective best describes the Raptors’ defensive effort on Robin Lopez last night? a.) Weak b.) Pillowy c.) Ineffectual d.)…

“You must learn to control your anger,” said the withered old monk, who sat across from a man much taller and stronger than him. “I understand, master,” replied Bobby Portis. “But it is hard. My emotions are too intense, and they don’t allow themselves to be bottled up within.” He remembered all the times in…
Read MoreDenzel Valentine 16 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2017)
If you are doubting the highlight-worthiness of this performance, I’ll leave you with this fact: this is the second most points Denzel Valentine has scored in a real life regular-season NBA game against real life NBA defenders who were actually trying to stop him. I know! It surprised me as well. For winning all those…
Read MoreDavid Nwaba 16 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2017)
I don’t exactly know what happened, but the Bulls just creamed the Magic by 22 points to get their second win of the season. Lauri Markkanen didn’t even do most of the damage – he only had thirteen. Nobody scored over twenty points individually, but seven players scored in double digits, and David “Nwannabe” Nwaba…
Read MoreRobin Lopez 22 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
The first of the Bulls’ broadcast “keys to the game” was this: “Get Markkanen the ball”. That’s a good start, actually a lot better than most of the crappy keys to the game that I’m always seeing, but it needs to be amended to: “Get Markkanen AND LOPEZ the ball”. That’s because Lauri Markkanen and…
