We’re heading into the home stretch, Davis Bertans-iacs. Only one more season of Gregg Popovich misusing and abusing Bertans, not giving him the minutes he deserves, not giving him the green light he deserves, and making him dress up in a poodle costume and putting him in a hastily constructed wooden shack called “Popovich’s Doghouse”…

It is the secret dream of every NBA-bound Euro player to play for the Spurs. They have the reputation, they have the system, they have the pedigree, they have the Popovich, every other city looks like backwater hicksville compared to the shining basketball metropolis of San Antonio. But Davis Bertans is there now, and he’s…

A Davis Bertans three-ilation would be just about the wettest thing ever, I think. So many of his triples rip twine hard after soaring like 100 feet into the air. I was going to create such a video for last season before things beyond my control put a stop to it, but I plan to…

Even the Spurs commentators agree with me (and probably with you as well, since you’re watching this video): Davis “Bobblehead” Bertans needs more touches, more playing time, more everything. When even the homer commentators are begging for a player to get more minutes, you know it’s true. It’s one thing for me (who has a…

The Spurs have been great for Davis Bertans’ development. He’s been allowed to get used to the NBA game at his own pace, without any pressure to produce immediately. He gets to learn from the best coaching staff in the league, as well as absorb veteran wisdom from various players. He’s not a finished product…

There must be something seriously deficient about Davis Bertans that I’m not seeing, because he is barely getting any playing time this year. Not a lot of DNPs, which would actually almost be better, because he’s getting low single-digit minutes in most games. How is he supposed to be good if he barely gets warmed…

These Davis Bertans highlights also double as Matt Costello highlights. In case you were not really in the mood for the Latvian Laser but instead wanted the… Michigander Misanthrope. I see other highlight channels doing combined highlights, and I wanted in on the action. Kill two birds with one stone, as the saying goes. The…

I won’t even apologize for the short runtime of this video because there was nothing I could do about it. Nothing. Davis Bertans made four shots and two free throws. With no replays or other extraneous material, that amount of shots will never result in a video of acceptable length. If I wanted to toss…

The Spurs are so much more fun when Kawhi Leonard isn’t playing. And Pau Gasol. And LaMarcus Aldridge. And Tony Parker. Those dudes, I know what those dudes are like. They’re good players, but familiarity breeds contempt or whatever. I want to see the role-players! And tonight, I got my wish. Big time. It’s no…

With a shot form as nice as Davis Bertans’, it’s a wonder that he ever misses threes. At least, the stats say he misses them. If you only watch my highlight vids, you’ve never actually seen anything except makes from him. If that’s the case, don’t let the stats fool you, and continue living in…
