Zach Collins 12 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2018)

Zach Collins walked up to his locker and immediately noticed the piece of paper which was taped to its side. The paper appeared to be a handwritten note of some kind. He gently pulled it off his locker and began to read: “Dear Zach Collins, This is letter from team management. We appreciating the hard…

Zach Collins 12 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (3/3/2018)

It took a while, but here we are: Zach Collins’ first highlight video of the season. First DTB highlight video, at least. I’m sure there have been others, made by people too eager to highlight unworthy performances. This is his first, MAYBE second, game where you analyze the end product and are like “yeah, he…

Shabazz Napier 20 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2018)

Shabazz Napier was coming off an 0-for-10 effort the game before that ranked as one of the worst shooting performances of the year. I actually thought it might be THE worst, but I totally forgot about Stanley Johnson’s season-opening 0-for-13 brickfest. Among others. Still pretty bad for ShabazzleDazzle, but not incomprehensibly bad. If my channel…

Jusuf Nurkic 24 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/8/2018)

Is it possible to set screens that are… too good? Too bone-crushing? Yes! Jusuf Nurkic had a whole bunch of turnovers tonight, too many I would say, but some of them were unfairly handed out because of the sternum-shattering nature of his screens. Those were legit screens, but because Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is a little baby,…

Maurice Harkless 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/4/2018)

I don’t feel like Moe “Moe Buckets” Harkless is getting enough criticism for what he did at the end of last season, an act that called into question the entire integrity of the NBA. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, thinking he punched a fan or something, let me clue you in: he…

Jusuf Nurkic 20 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)

The “Point Nurkic” experiment has seemingly ended for Jusuf Nurkic and the Trailblazers. It was fun for a while right after he got traded, helping to build that Nurkic vs. Jokic storyline, but I think Portland decided they wanted the ball in Lillard’s and McCollum’s hands. All the time. And that’s okay. Nurkic can pass,…

Ed Davis 15 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/26/2018)

I guess I didn’t exactly realize that Ed Davis’ father was an NBA player until I looked at his basketball-reference page. So now I know that Terry Davis, who played ten seasons in the NBA, seems to have been mostly the same player as his son is, except one inch shorter. That’s cool. But don’t…

Jusuf Nurkic 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/22/2018)

Jusuf Nurkic sat in the back row of the team plane. The mood was subdued; they had just lost, and his teammates knew that this game had meant a lot to him. Occasionally one of them would glance back to where he was sitting by himself, see his stony glare, and quickly snap back to…

Jusuf Nurkic 19 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2018)

I’ve been spoiled. After a recent NBA altercation where an actual punch was thrown, this skirmish between Jusuf Nurkic and Victor Oladipo seemed kind of weak. No one got ejected, all that happened was that Nurkic said some words while getting in Oladipo’s face and then Oladipo pushed him away. Lame. I prefer my sports…

Pat Connaughton 18 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2018)

Sorry about the thumbnail quality. It was the best I could do, when those schmucks at ESPN could only manage one shot of Pat Connaughton’s face way off in the background. Another problem those schmucks at ESPN had: they only mentioned that he was drafted by the MLB’s Orioles ONE TIME during the whole broadcast….
