https://youtu.be/mjGgnHH8Eyo There were 43 players who scored more points than Josh Jackson did tonight. I’m not going to go into player-by-player specifics as to why 42 of them (shout out to Terry Rozier) are ineligible for a DTB highlight video, but rest assured that I have my reasons. Those reasons include: -Them being on my…

Tony Snell All 32 Free Throws Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Freethrowilation)
The 2034 Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony was proceeding without any hitches. Emotional speeches by the inductees touched the hearts of all those present. Rivalries were set aside in recognition of the on-court dominance that defined all of their careers. Retired stars told jokes at each others’ expense, garnering laughter from the players, spouses,…
Read MoreChristian Wood All 113 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Sitting at his locker well after all of his teammates had gone home, Christian Wood pondered the nature of happiness. He knew he was supposed to be sad that his team had just lost to the Jazz. He supposed that there was a part of him that was feeling genuine sadness. But was he, then,…
Read MoreChristian Wood Career High 32 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (3/11/2020)
Nothing feels real anymore. I’m sitting here trying to organize my thoughts and then everything just falls apart again. Christian Wood put on the most dominating performance of his life, and completely made Joel Embiid into Joel Embiitch, but it’s like it didn’t even happen. Rudy Gobert got the coronavirus. Other players and coaches might…
Read MoreChristian Wood 22 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
Christian Wood continues his aptly-named “Demolition Tour ’20” with another demolition of yet another team, this time the New York Knickers. His teammates failed to step up and the Pistons only scored 84 points in their loss to the inferior New York team, but I don’t think that minimizes the quality of this demolition. In…
Read MoreChristian Wood Career High 30 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (3/7/2020)
Christian Wood opened his eyes and, unexpectedly, saw another pair of eyes staring directly into his own. “Ah!” The other man was not perturbed by Christian’s surprise. He continued to hold his head directly over Christian’s. “I’m glad you’re awake. I was thinking you would never come around.” With those words, Christian immediately thought that…
Read MoreBrandon Knight 18 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
While making highlights from this game, I couldn’t help but notice that the Little Caesars Arena (it should be called the Jet’s Pizzadome but apparently nobody thought to consult me on this) was looking empty. Like, really empty. Fan apathy towards the Pistons is at an all-time high with Griffin out, Rose out, and Drummond…
Read MoreJordan McRae 15 Points Pistons Debut Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
In the grand scheme of Jordan McRae’s season, fifteen points isn’t all that much. He scored more than fifteen points on eight separate occasions with the Wizards. Among those games were two 29-point games as well as a 35-point outburst that resulted in his readmission into the Hall of the Thirty Point Scorers (shoutout Carlos…
Read MoreChristian Wood Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
It’s easy to be on the Christian Wood hype train now that Wood has been unleashed following the Andre Drummond trade. He’s regularly putting up efficient, high-scoring performances that might even be introducing his name to casual fans. Okay, that’s probably not true, since most casuals couldn’t name a single player currently on the Pistons’…
Read MoreBrandon Knight 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/1/2020)
Brandon Knight has now had four double-digit scoring games in a row, and with each “good” game he has (remember that “good” is relative term), my feelings towards him go from “I’m sad that he’s struggling in the league after being so good pre-injury” to “I’m happy that he’s rounding back into form.” That definitely…
