https://youtu.be/O3iUcmMVT0A I thought I was done making highlight videos for games from the final night of the 2020-21 regular season, and then I remembered that I had somehow skipped over Damian Jones. God damn it. Nineteen is his season high, and it’s also just his fourth double-digit scoring game of the season (the other three…

Damian Jones 14 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/30/2020)
Pass-first point guards combined with lob-catching big men are like a match made in heaven. Chris Paul + DeAndre Jordan, Russell Westbrook (not pass-first but still passes a lot because of ballhog tendencies) + Steven Adams, Andre Miller + JaVale McGee, James Harden + Clint Capela, all of these combos result in high-flying dunks for…

If you’ve ever pondered the question “what is the most points a player with no basketball skills could so score in an NBA game?”, well, tonight you are slightly closer to an answer. The lower bound for that number is 20, because we just saw “NBA player” Damian Jones score that many tonight. Now that…

The early results of the Hawks’ “Damian Jones as starting center” experiment were good.

It looks like Damian Jones made the right call to bail on the Warriors during the offseason. Sticklers will point out that he didn’t have a choice in the matter, that he got traded to the Hawks for Omari Spellman. And I will point out that you can just shut the heck up and get…

Damian Jones is the next in a long line of centers who get to look really good on the Warriors thanks to the fact that they play on a team stacked with All-Stars and aren’t expected to shoot any shots other than the ones they can reasonably make. How good Jones actually is, however, is…

Damian Jones seems to be nicely filling the role of the recently departed JaVale McGee for the Warriors. That role being “catch a few lobs at the beginning of the game and then don’t do anything else”. The Warriors are apparently only starting a true center to be respectful of tradition. They don’t need one…

Here are some of the things that Warriors Bandwagoners are probably (definitely) saying right now: -“I always knew Damian Jones was the answer at the five for us.” -“Damian Jones’ development has been fun to watch, I’m so proud of him.” -“Haha yeah, I totally knew that we had a guy named Damian Jones for…
