Jimmy Butler sat out the entire fourth quarter of this game due to “knee soreness” (really he was just embarrassed for himself and his puny eight-point contribution to the team’s efforts), so Jamal Crawford basically got an entire quarter to himself to remind the national TV audience what he’s capable of: -Layups -Floaters -Three-Pointers -Pullup…

Derrick Rose 17 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2018)
I wonder which team is going to give Derrick Rose a contract based on this little run of good play here in the playoffs. There’s no question that someone will at this point, because he’s been legitimately legit three out of the four games so far, but who will pull the trigger? -Chicago Bulls. This…

Derrick Rose, playing well against a heavily-favored opponent in the playoffs, helping his team get the W with fancy layups and big-time jumpers. What year is it? I need someone to tell me what year it is, because somehow I have traveled back in time a couple years and I need to get back to…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 16 Points Full Highlights (4/18/2018)
Nemanja Bjelica’s role in this game, apparently, was to come in during garbage time and score enough points (14 in the final four minutes) to ensure that the Timberwolves didn’t end up with a completely embarrassing point total. Serbs will take this performance as a sign that Bjelica deserves more minutes in game three, and…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 16 Points Full Highlights (4/15/2018)
Derrick Rose now holds the dubious distinction of being the youngest former MVP to be “demoted” to my channel. At age 29 (not even that old), he has been judged by yours truly to have worsened as a player enough to qualify for DTB highlight videos. Unlike the day when I decided that I finally…
Read MoreJamal Crawford 24 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2018)
I suppose it’s sort of awesome that Jamal Crawford at age 38 can still go out there and win a game for a playoff team. Then again, I’ve never really liked Crawford as a player, and when he leads to his team to victory by going full 2005 mode and constantly pulling up for long…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 18 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2018)
Taj sat in his empty apartment at two in the morning. His sleep had been restless, so he had gotten up to calm his thoughts. However, it became clear after another hour of wakefulness that sleep would not be coming to him again that night. The emotions within him were too poignant, too acute to…
Read MoreJeff Teague 25 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/26/2018)
I was extremely surprised to see that Marquis Teague signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies. Surprised, and impressed. I saw how much he sucked in his first stint, and it was the kind of suckage that usually results in a permanent vacation from the NBA. So good on him for apparently doing so good…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 17 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2018)
Nemanja Bjelica has yet to score in the 20-point range this season, and has only done so once in his career. Isn’t that interesting? No, it’s not, I agree, but something doesn’t have to be interesting for me to mention it in a description. It goes without saying that he didn’t score in the 20-point…
Read MoreJamal Crawford 20 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2018)
Jamal Crawford just had a REVENGE GAME against his team of the past few seasons, the Los Angeles Clippers. This was basically him telling Doc Rivers to his face, “I don’t need DeNoFreeThrows Jordan, Blake Griffinefficient, or Christine Paulina to get me to the second round in the West – I can do it with…
