Sacrifices were made to make this the purest representation possible of Dennis Smith Jr.’s career -high 27 points on 12 made shots. There were no free-throws to ruin it in the first place, so I decided to go all out: this vid is nothing but 12 sequentially ordered buckets, no replays, no assists, no defense…

Dennis Smith Jr. All 40 Dunks Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Dunkilation)
“Thanks for inviting me over, man,” Dennis Smith Jr. said as he walked into the impressive entryway of Dirk Nowitzki’s suburban-Dallas home. “I like your place. Classy but not in-your-face.” “Yeah, well, when you’ve made over two hundred million dollars in your career, you get tired of showing it off after a while,” Dirk replied….

I often rag on players for scoring too many points in garbage time and my opinion that points scored in garbage time should not count is well-publicized. However, I have barely touched on the separate, but related, issue of garbage time assists. My position on this is simple and unambiguous: assists attained at the end…

Thanks to the demise of my trusty microwave, which may or may not have had illegal modifications made to it in order to improve its cooking time, it has now been approximately 42 hours since I have had a Pop-Tart. I know that they can be eaten cold, but I’m not a caveman here. I…

Unless something changes in the next nine games, Dennis Smith Jr. will finish the season with negative win-shares. You know that win-shares are the best and most representative stat ever invented because they always line up with what the so-called “eye test” tells you. In this case, the eye test tells me that DSJ is…

Official 2017-18 Rookie of the Year Watch, March 6th Edition: Ben Simmons: 16 points, 13 assists, but his team was playing the Hornets so it’s not like those stats mean anything. Donovan Mitchell: didn’t play. Dennis Smith Jr.: 18 points, 11 assists, and the Mavericks needed all of those statisticals to beat the heavily-favored Nuggets….

The most exciting thing about this video, to me, is that it shows definitively that Nerlens Noel is alive and ready to catch lobs. As a card-carrying member of the Nerlens Noel fanclub and certified conductor of the Nerlens Noel hype-train, this season has been a huge disappointment for me. But I’ll wait until Noel…

Dennis Smith Jr. can still win ROTY of the year. Don’t give up hope, Smithsonians Jr.! I’ve been doing some research on past winners and what the voters want to see in a candidate, and I’ve figured out what he needs to do win: – One word: statpadding. I think every prior ROTY winner was…

I think this is the best passing performance we have seen from Dennis Smith Jr., and it’s probably not close. The other times he’s had big assist games, it’s because he’s making dinky perimeter passes while Wesley Matthews cans threes. This game, he was throwing LOBS. Hella LOBS. He was throwing lobs to everybody: Dwight…

This game represented quite a departure for Dennis Smith Jr.: instead of doing everything in the fourth quarter, he did NOTHING in the fourth quarter! You might think that this is a negative, but it totally isn’t. In fact, this is a significant milestone in his development. Now that he’s proven beyond reasonable doubt that…
