If the 76ers are thinking that Landry Shamet can be a long-term replacement for J.J. Redick, this game definitely added some legitimacy to that idea. However, it didn’t do anything to help the main issue that’s standing in the way of their plan, which is that Shamet is simply WAY weirder-looking than Redick. By a…

Jonah Bolden 11 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2019)
Is it fair to say that Jonah Bolden was… emBOLDENed by this performance? Ha! Ha! HAHAHAHA! EMBOLDENED! Get it? Hehehe. Because his name… is BOLDEN! HA! That’s all I’ve got, folks. That right there, that crappy pun, is going to form the entirety of this description about Bolden and his career-high-shattering performance, because I’ve got…
Read MoreJ.J. Redick 27 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2019)
I miss the days when every 76ers game was a new chance for some random 10-day contract player or other scrub/role-player to show out and have a career high. The days of Larry Drew II (Larry Drew’s crappy son) and Drew Gordon (Aaron Gordon’s crappy brother), the days of Furkan Aldemir and Tony Wroten. Hollis…
Read MoreJ.J. Redick 24 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2018)
I have now heard multiple references to this season being a “career year” for J.J. Redick. It’s true that he’s averaging more points per game (18) than he ever has before (his previous best was 17 PPG last season, and that was also a “career year”). However, can it really be a career year for…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 16 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2018)
Attention Turkish people: what happened to Izzet Turkyilmaz? I need answers, because I was hyped for that goofy-looking stick-figure really bad. Such a great name, and also a great game. He could shoot threes, I remember, and he was tall. And he did some stuff in Summer League for the Nuggets one year and then…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 17 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2018)
There are some nice-looking rookies this year, but not a whole lot of them are from the latter half of the first round. Landry “Shamwow” Shamet, taken 26th overall, is the best of the bunch. Kevin Hurter and Omari Spellman are pretty good too, but then there a bunch of players who barely see the…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 16 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2018)
Landry “Shamwow” Shamet continues his strong-shooting rookie campaign by going 6-of-7 from the field (4-of-5 from three). The applicability of the nickname “Shamwow” is still in doubt, because nothing he does ever makes me or anybody else go “WOW!”, but it’s a good nickname, so as long as he’s shooting above 38% from three he…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/12/2018)
Two 18-point games for Furkan Korkmaz in a row. This is an onslaught the likes of we have never before seen from The Motherfurker (ignoring, as usual, his nuts Summer League game because that wasn’t the real NBA). He’s gone from racking up DNPs to playing decent minutes to playing decent minutes and scoring 18…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 18 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2018)
Furkan “The Motherfurker” “Turkish Delight” “Korverkmaz” “Furky Town” Korkmaz has probably retracted his trade request by now. I don’t think it was ever really confirmed in the first place, but assuming he did actually make it, he’s got to realize that his circumstances have changed dramatically for the better since then. He’s getting to play…
Read MoreMike Muscala 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/7/2018)
I would like to issue an OFFICIAL DTB APOLOGY to Mike “Muscy Stench” Muscala, the Phildelphia 76ers organization, and all fans of either entity for the shameful actions of the night of November 17, 2018. On that night, Mike “The Musc Ox” Muscala scored nineteen points against the Suns. That point total was, and still…
