Dorian Finney-Smith 23 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2021)

https://youtu.be/s40z5TuAELs Dorian Finney-Smith AKA DFS AKA Distributed File System is like the best-case scenario for a guy who you pick up on a whim to play on your Summer League team. He’s an adequate, if low-volume, scorer, and he’s a plus defender. Teams are constantly combing Europe, the G-League, and Summer League for guys who…

Dorian Finney-Smith 16 Points Full Highlights (8/30/2020)

As I write this, all members of the Mavericks organization (including players) are getting kicked out of their hotel rooms and being forced to board buses that will drive them all the way back to Dallas. Their belongings, no matter in what state they are, packed or unpacked, are being thrown out of those same…

Dorian Finney-Smith Career High 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (8/8/2020)

Nine out of Dorian Finney-Smith’s ten buckets in this game were assisted by Luka Doncic. Not saying that to denigrate Finney-Smith here, just saying that to illustrate the fact that were it not for Finney-Smith’s hot shooting, Doncic’s monster triple-double would be just a regular triple-double with a lot of points. I hope Doncic ordered…

Dorian Finney-Smith 18 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2020)

It would have been hella sweet if Dorian Finney-Smith’s six points in the final fifteen seconds of this game had somehow stolen a sure victory out of the hands of the Bulls. Alas, the deficit was too great, and Doncic’s half-court heave as time expired didn’t quite go in. Still, it was an exciting time…

Dorian Finney-Smith Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2020)

Dorian Finney-Smith performed admirably in the absences of Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis, tying his career high in points with 22. Sure, the Hawks don’t play much defense, but Finney-Smith doesn’t play much offense, so it evens out. With this awe-inspiring performance, Finney-Smith has definitely proved that “DFS” is more than just an initialism for…

Dorian Finney-Smith 16 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/11/2020)

Dorian “Distributed File System” Finney-Smith has established himself in the league as a defender and low-volume scorer. At least, I assume that he has established himself. Since this is his fourth year in the league, he has two years left on his contract, and I’m not hearing any chatter about him having to play in…

Dorian Finney-Smith Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2019)

Between Luka Doncic chucking lots of shots and Kristaps Porzingis chucking lots of shots, there’s hardly any shots left over for the rest of the roster to chuck. Tim Hardaway gets to chuck a good portion of that remainder, and then what? Everyone else has to fight for scraps. There are players who the current…

Dorian Finney-Smith 15 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (2/6/2019)

Fifteen points might not seem like a whole heck of a lot for a guy who has now been an established role-player on the Mavericks for three seasons. However, if you actually bother to look up his game logs, you would see that fifteen points is the third-highest scoring game of Dorian Finney-Smith’s career. (I…

Dorian Finney-Smith Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2018)

There doesn’t seem to be much hope around the league that Dorian Finney-Smith will ever be anything more than he is right now: an athletic small forward who doesn’t do a whole lot on the court or fill that stat sheet. I think defense is his calling card (plus the hustle that goes along with…

Dorian Finney-Smith 15 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/6/2018)

Dorian “Distributed File System” Finney-Smith had fourteen points in the Mavericks’ previous game against the Magic, but, in my latest stroke of genius, I didn’t make a highlight video for him, citing two reasons: 1. He was 5-of-15 from the field, and I would rather not encourage inefficient shooting 2. I just had this feeling…
