I’m certain I didn’t realize it at the time, but back when I was watching Jerryd “Baysed God” Bayless on the Bucks back in the 2015-16 season, I was actually watching PRIME Jerry Bayless. The Bayless experience was never better before or since, unless you count that time he was Summer League MVP (I don’t…

Josh Okogie 21 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2019)
Tonight saw the much-anticipated head-to-head matchup of two players who have laid claim to Kobe-related nicknames. In one corner stands Josh “Okobie” Okogie. In the other corner stands Elie “Okobe” Okobo. Who will prove to the world that they are deserving of the Kobe crown, and who will prove to be an impotent loser who…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 17 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2019)
Taj Gibson carefully chiselled the last few bits of ice off of his sculpture, then took a step back to look at it fully. Here, in the frigid, yet sunny, expanse of lawn next to the Timberwolves’ arena, the ice-tulip seemed to glow with its own source of illumination. The curves of the petals were…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 31 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/20/2019)
I have seen comments by people on the Internet saying that Derrick Rose is not deserving of an All-Star selection this year. Before we continue, let us take a moment to laugh at those ignorami. Ha. Hahaha. I mean, I can see where they’re coming from, kinda. Rose’s stats are good, but they’re not the…
Read MoreJosh Okogie 17 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
Josh Okogie, despite tying a career high with seventeen points (note for future viewers: Okogie is a rookie in this season, so “career high” doesn’t mean much), actually didn’t have a great game shooting the ball. He was fine from inside the arc, but a dreadful 1-of-8 from three. A lot of players have had…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
It’s likely that I’ve advanced this opinion before, but I don’t care: the Minnesota Timberwolves need to wear these black/purple jerseys more often. They’re, as the kids say these days, “dank”. They make everybody look good in a dark retro synthwave type of way. The bright green jerseys also need to be worn more often…
Read MoreJosh Okogie 15 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
I remember making some determination as to whether Josh Okogie can be called “Okobie” or if Eli Okobo can be called “Okobe” or if both of them can use that nickname, or if neither of them can use that nickname. However, I am too unmotivated to actually go back and check DTB’S OFFICIAL NICKNAME RECORDS…
Read MoreJeff Teague 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2019)
A lot of very mean Timberwolves fans have a lot of very mean things to say about Jeff Teague. “He’s not as good as his brother”, “His All-Star selection was undeserved”, “I’d rather have Aaron Brooks”, “He gets help from the league in the form of spurious assists”. I haven’t actually seen any Minnesota fan…
Read MoreTyus Jones 15 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
With just one more three-point bucket Tyus Jones would’ve set a career-high in both points and assists tonight. I don’t mean to imply that what he did tonight wasn’t something special, but it could’ve easily been way special-er. Truthfully, the path to assists for a point guard on the Timberwolves is wide and clearly-marked: get…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2018)
Derrick Rose had another great game tonight. This just keeps happening, no one is surprised anymore, this is the new normal for him. The only blemish was his game-winning attempt where he drove into a horde of Hawkes and got his floater utterly rejected. That’s why you never shoot floaters, people. With the way he’s…
