It took me a while to figure out what the Memphis commentators were saying after Jonas Valanciunas’s numerous dunks in this game. Sounded like “yaga” to me, that wasn’t the hard part. I figured they weren’t just saying nonsense syllables, so my first guess was that they were saying something in Lithuanian. I tried a…

C.J. Miles 33 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/13/2019)
Raptors fans must be losing it right now. Not only has Jonas Valanciunas been a complete beastcake his entire time in Memphis, not only has Delon Wright had some very good games for his new team, not only has Marc Gasol been underwhelming in his first few games in Toronto, but now C.J. Miles has…
Read MoreAvery Bradley 21 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2019)
Avery Bradley is playing so much better in Memphis than he was in LA (at least, he is on offense – DTB does not care about defense) that one has to wonder if the Clippers front office is feeling a little sore about the whole trade. Sure, they got Garrett Temple and JaMychal Green in…
Read MoreIvan Rabb 15 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
Ivan “The Rabbi” Rabb has shown enough for the Grizzlies this season that I don’t think he should be getting DNP’s anymore. Not only should he not be getting any more DNP’s, he should also be getting at least twenty minutes per game. Will his Brandan Wright-esque efficiency take a hit when you start leaning…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 27 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
It seems like every game, the gulf between Jonas Valanciunas and Marc Gasol grows wider. Tonight, the young, spry, active, attractive Lithuanian Valanciunas had a season-high 27 points. The slow, elderly, lumpy Spaniard Marc Gasol had a season-low four points. I recommend that all viewers take a moment right now to laugh heartily at the…
Read MoreDelon Wright Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2019)
Ex-Grizzly Marc Gasol tonight: 8 points. Ex-Raptors tonight: Delon Wright, 25 points, Jonas Valanciunas, 17 points, C.J. Miles, 12 points. Those numbers themselves make the Raptors-Grizzlies trade at the deadline look bad for the Raptors, but lets check every player’s average with their new team before jumping to rash conclusions. Gasol: 11 PPG. Wright: 9…
Read MoreDelon Wright 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
The Raptor’s old “bench mob”, who were so fondly looked upon last season, has now be broken up and distributed piecemeal around the rest of the league. Delon Wright and C.J. Miles are in Memphis, Jakob Poeltl is in San Antonio, and Pascal Siakam is the starter and no longer qualifies for inclusion in a…
Read MoreAvery Bradley 27 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
I still haven’t quite figured out what the Grizzlies’ endgame was when they traded JaMychal Green and Garrett Temple for Avery Bradley. There’s three options: they did the trade for financial reasons, they did the trade for basketball reasons, or they did the trade for no reason at all. Money-wise, the Grizzlies saved roughly three…
Read MoreJevon Carter 15 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
Jevon Carter surprised a lot of people (including myself, since I didn’t know who he was or that he was on a roster) with his NBA debut in December where he scored eleven points. After that game, Grizzlies fans likely had visions of a legitimate backup PG for Mike Conley, and I had visions of…
Read MoreBruno Caboclo 9 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
OFFICIAL REASONS TO MAKE THIS VIDEO POWER RANKINGS: 1. Bruno Caboclo is a very popular player who will drive views to my channel. 2. Six assists is not only a career high in that stat for Caboclo, but it is twice as many assists as he had ever gotten in a game before. This is…
