OFFICIAL DTB REMINDER: Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 43 points in a game this season. It wasn’t even that long ago. I recommend that you watch that highlight video instead because (and the math will bear this out), that video is more than twice as good as this one. If you’ve already watched it, well, you…

Tyus Jones 15 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2019)
I would like to issue an OFFICIAL DTB APOLOGY for my heinous actions on the night of October 23rd. That night, Tyus Jones scored fifteen points and dropped seven dimes in his debut with the Memphis Grizzlies. As Jones has never been a player known for scoring a lot of points, and given that a…

20 points is all well and good for Jaren Jackson Jr., that’s a nice point total for him these days. What I’m concerned about is the “4” I see for him in the rebounds column of the boxscore. Four? Rebounds? During the whole game? Okay, so not the whole game, because he only played 34…

21 points is all well and good for Jonas Valanciunas, that’s a nice point total for him these days. What I’m concerned about is the “4” I see for him in the rebounds column of the boxscore. Four? Rebounds? During the whole game? Okay, so not the whole game, because he only played 27 minutes,…

If Jaren Jackson doesn’t watch out, he’s going to be looking in a mirror in a few years and not recognize the pure three-point specialist staring back at him. Shooting threes is fun, I get that. Personally, I’d prefer dunking it, but if I had been dunking for as long as Jackson has, I’d get…

Normally, when a player’s jumpshooting form is severely borked, I would advocate for them to break it down and rebuild it. In practice, relearning how to shoot a jumper is very difficult (hence the low success rate of jumpshot reformers), but I would still advocate for it. Somebody like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, for example, who has…
Read MoreJa Morant 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2019)
Ja Morant’s final points came with seven minutes to go in the third quarter and the Grizzlies up by 21. He did get a few more assists after that, but his scoring stopped entirely, and Memphis ended up losing by four. And that is all I have to say about that. I don’t know what…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 24 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2019)
Jonas Valanciunas is back on track! People will say he was struggling, and maybe the stats suggest he was struggling, as he had three games of 6, 8, and 6 points all in a row, but it wasn’t him struggling. Trust me on this. It was just a continuation of the trend of him being…
Read MoreBrandon Clarke Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2019)
For most players, what you see in highlights and the totality of what actually happens during the games are two very different things. No one ever showed you all the countless shots that Allen Iverson bricked over his career; you had to seek that forbidden footage out for yourself, or be content with consuming endless…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 21 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)
I am sick and tired of this new narrative (being pushed by the simpletons at ESPN, no doubt) that Jonas Valanciunas is “struggling”. No. He’s not struggling. What is happening, and this has been happening his whole career so no one should be surprised, is that he is being held down by incompetent and racist…
