Marc Zumoff kindly informed us that this game ties a career high in points for T.J. McConnell, but he not-so-kindly neglected to remind us that McConnell’s true career high came in the playoffs, where he scored nineteen against the Celtics. This is a vital piece of information to be omitted, given that the “career high”…

Boban Marjanovic 18 Points/6 Assists/2 Threes Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
If this game is any indication, the center rotation for the Philadelphia 76ers in the playoffs will consist of these players: -Boban Marjanovic -Greg Monroe -Amir Johnson I don’t know about you, but when I read that list, I start getting HYPED. It’s got it all, the gigantic Euro monster who also has SKILLS, the…
Read MoreZhaire Smith 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/10/2019)
There’s a new article out on some news outlet that I don’t read (and you shouldn’t either; DTB descriptions should be your only reading material) about Zhaire Smith’s allergic reaction that caused his return from injury to be significantly delayed and also caused him to probably almost die. I didn’t read it (because I don’t…
Read MoreZhaire Smith 11 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (4/9/2019)
The Philadelphia 76ers have had extraordinarily bad luck regarding their draft picks and injuries. Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and Markelle Fultz were all high draft choices that missed some or all of their respective rookie seasons due to injuries to various body parts. It’s gotten to the point where some fans jokingly (or not-so-jokingly) refer…
Read MoreGreg Monroe 18 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2019)
When I think about how badly Greg Monroe’s career derailed, I legitimately get sad. Normally I don’t feel emotions, much less emotions like sympathy, much less sympathy towards well-paid famous guys, but it is what it is. I can’t deny my emotions. And my emotions whenever Greg Monroe crosses my mind are predominantly sad in…
Read MoreMike Scott 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/4/2019)
This, to you, the ignorant viewer, probably looks like a pretty good performance by Mike Scott. 22 points, 18 of those points coming from the 6 threes he hit, nothing wrong with that at all, you think. Snort. Guffaw. Watch this video and educate yourself before coming to such hasty conclusions. You will quickly see…
Read MoreJonah Bolden 19 Points/5 Threes/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/30/2019)
The 76ers are a different team when Joel Embiid isn’t standing around inhaling possessions like some sort of insatiable possessions vacuum. Slightly worse, and definitely different. Replacing him with Jonah Bolden has several implications, but one of the major ones is that it means Jimmy Butler gets to have the ball more often, which is…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 16 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (3/28/2019)
Boban Marjanovic’s ascent into the king of NBA “meme” players has taken a sharp upswing with the addition of a three-point shot, the “memiest” shot-type in the league for players of his type. That type being “ridiculously huge Euro”. He was already one of the most ironically (and earnestly, by some sickos) loved players in…
Read MoreShake Milton 13 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2019)
Since I was wondering what kind of horrible name this dude’s parents came up with for him to prefer the moniker “Shake”, I’m going to venture over to Wikipedia, everybody’s favorite community-edited encyclopedia, to find out what his real name actually is. I mean, it’s gotta be completely embarrassing and awful, right? Is it “Shakille”?…
Read MoreMike Scott 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/2/2019)
It wasn’t too long ago that Mike Scott was hanging out on the fringiest fringes of the NBA. His final year in Atlanta, he was plagued by some sort of injury, only a year after being plagued by some sort of drug-related legal issue (a guy with emoji tattoos is a good candidate to have…
