How often do you think that Larry Nance Jr. roasts Brook Lopez for that huge dunk Nance threw down on Lopez last year when they were on different teams? I hope it’s a daily thing in that locker room. “Yo Brook remember when I dunked on you so hard that your own bench freaked out?”…

Kyle Kuzma 22 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2017)
Kyle “The Jakuzzi” Kuzma finally converted on a bigtime whammy-jam in this game, which is nice to see, since it seems like he’s missed every big dunk he’s tried. The only problem with this one was there was nobody underneath him to get invited to the poster party. Still, he’s missed enough dunks where I’m…
Read MoreLonzo Ball 15 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/29/2017)
Lonzo Ball may be having one of the worst non-Marcus Smart non-50’s white dude shooting stretches for an NBA player to start his career, but at least he’s doing the other stuff as advertised. His passing isn’t as transcendent as maybe it looked in Summer League, but unless your name is Greivis Vasquez, you don’t…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2017)
Last night Brandon Ingram was pitted against one of his most apt NBA comparisons, Kevin Durant, and guess what? He out-Duranted Durant. Ingram scored a career high 32 points; the original Durant scored just 29 on four more shot attempts. Ingram also recorded seven turnovers to Durant’s six. Whatever numbers Durant put up, Ingram improved…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 29 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2017)
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, before tonight, was really consistent in his shot-taking. Almost every game, between 10 and 13 shots, good for about 13 points per game. Not too many, not taking any away from “more deserving” players. Just playing his role like he did in Detroit, except more efficiently. There’s a lot of messed up things…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 22 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2017)
Twenty-two points for Kyle Kuzma is great. It’s nice. I like it. But after he had eighteen in the first half alone, I expected a little bit more. I’m not saying he has to set new career highs every game, but I am saying that he should score more points for my entertainment. The customer…
Read MoreJulius Randle 24 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2017)
It’s still early in the season, but not too early where stats aren’t starting to reveal some truths about the league. The cream is rising to the top, as they say. For example, after tonight, Julius Randle is leading the league in my proprietary advance stat, TIP/36. For those who aren’t subscribed to the “DTB’s…
Read MoreLonzo Ball Triple Double 11 Pts/11 Asts/16 Rebs Full Highlights (11/19/2017)
Lonzo Ball looks even more like a pizza now that he’s cut his hair. His head lost some of the triangular shape that his hair-poof provided, but now it looks more like a crust then ever. And you’ve still got the cheese (his skin), the tomato sauce (the pinkness that develops when he exerts himself),…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 30 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2017)
Kyle “Clarence Withers” Kuzma is the steal of this year’s draft. No doubt about it now. With this performance he is leading all 2017 draftees in points per game at nearly 16. I admit, I didn’t believe the insane rabid-Lakers-fanbase-fueled hype after his great Summer League. Tons of dudes do good in Summer League. Jerryd…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 24 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2017)
Showing replays of fouls that aren’t made shots is generally a waste of time for everybody involved. It’s a waste of time for you, it’s a waste of time for me, and it’s a waste of time for my kitty Japurri Purrker when he’s waiting for me to finish making highlight videos so I can…
