Rick Carlisle is just the latest in a string of coaches who refuses to use Boban Marjanovic to the fullest extent of his talents, or even give him a consistent role at all. Just take a look at the know-nothings that have been giving him DNP-CD’s for the past four years and tell me it…

Read MoreMaxi Kleber 18 Points/3 Blocks/1 Fight Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
I feel somewhat guilty for advertising the skirmish Maxi “Maxi Pad” Kleber got into as a “fight”, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that young males (the NBA’s, and thus my, average viewer demographic) LOVE watching fights. NBA videos purporting to contain footage of NBA players fighting routinely draw the…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 25 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
The Warriors and Mavericks apparently just set a record for most combined three-pointers in a game with 46. The Warriors had 18 and the Mavs had 24. D’Angelo Russell contributed the most three-pointers with nine of them (and don’t worry too much about the apparently “serious” injury he suffers in this video; he returned to…

The best thing about carefully-curated highlight videos is that if they are curated hard enough, all sense of context is removed and the only thing that remains is pure basketball. Just balls going in holes. That’s the real, primal reason that these videos get watched; everything else is just our stupid monkey brains trying to…

If you’ve been following my channel for a while, you know that sometimes I have this little problem where I allow my BHL (Blood Hype Level) to get too high when a player is doing unexpectedly well. Then my BHL crashes and I suffer some type of medical emergency. This pattern repeats itself over and…
Read MoreSeth Curry 20 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2019)
Seth Curry has hit the twenty point mark in three of his last four games after not reaching it even one time in any of the first 21 games of the season. He’s made 8, 9, and 11 shots in those games after having a season high of six made shots through those first 21…
Read MoreJalen Brunson 13 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/16/2019)
This is, apparently, what the Mavericks look like when they have a real point guard (“real” implying shortness, which Jalen Brunson definitely has) instead of their normal setup of Luka Doncic doing everything. And it looks good! The Bucks weren’t expecting this to be such a tough game, and it cost them, as the Mavericks…
Read MoreSeth Curry 26 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)
After this impressive win against the Bucks, now is the time to advance the theory that the Mavericks are better without Luka Doncic. Such a theory is often called the “Ewing Theory”, named after Patrick Ewing Jr., who played 9 games for the New Orleans Hornets in 2011 and really sucked, making no buckets in…
Read MoreJalen Brunson 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2019)
Luka Doncic getting injured may not be very good for the Mavericks, or for the NBA as a whole, but it is very good for me, because it means that there are tons of extra possessions and touches and shots for Mavericks role players. Doncic is really cool and fun to watch (not like I…
