https://youtu.be/AM2N5R-ADxU You think the NBA doesn’t have its own dirty little secrets it’s trying to hide? You think NBA statistics are sacrosanct, too important to ever be tampered with? You think Adam Silver is an overall force of good for the league? Think again, you blind, dumb fool. At 0:21 of this video, with three…

DeAndre’ Bembry Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (5/15/2021)
https://youtu.be/py5BWdyVCHQ DeAndre’ Bembry just scored 23 points on 22 field goal attempts is this awesome? [y/n] Honestly, I could go either way on whether or not this is awesome. In the “Y” camp, Bembry got a career high in points. For a five-year NBA scrub who has never been able to consistently score anything other…
Read MoreMalachi Flynn Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2021)
https://youtu.be/-HY2wju631w The Raptors may be basically done for the season, playing for nothing, but their fans have not checked out. At least, not ALL of them have checked out. The team itself may be dying to get the heck out of Tampa and get started with the offseason, but these Raptors diehards, they just want…
Read MoreJalen Harris Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2021)
https://youtu.be/_Bwmjbv3_Eg Thanks to the kind folks at TSN (which is not the broadcast you get to see in this particular video, sorry), my statistical horizons have been broadened. They have bestowed upon us a premium factoid that is beyond my means to compute. And that factoid is this: the Raptors have had 10 different players…
Read MoreStanley Johnson Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (5/13/2021)
https://youtu.be/ZgklwduRKnE Last season, Stanley Johnson played sparingly for the Raptors. Up until the final game of the season, his highest point total was just seven points. Then, he dropped 23 in the regular season finale when the Raptors were presumably locked into their playoff seed. I made a highlight video where I expressed surprise at…
Read MoreJalen Harris 16 Points Full Highlights (5/8/2021)
https://youtu.be/eTrX5AKuV3A Jalen Harris was the 59th overall pick in last year’s draft, which makes it a huge accomplishment that he was able to get his very own DTB highlight video. It’s even more impressive considering that he’s appeared in fewer games (10) than all but two of the second-round picks who have NBA minutes under…

https://youtu.be/SYg-_S6HiOA When it was rumored that Khem “The Alkhemist” Birch was going to get released by the Magic and picked up by the Raptors, there was a lot of buzz about this potential move. And I just didn’t understand the buzz at all. I still don’t really understand the buzz, but this video description will…
Read MoreChris Boucher 31 Points Full Highlights (4/18/2021)
https://youtu.be/UDbC_FaZoe0 The world-renowned DownToBuck YouTube channel is known far and wide as a haven for scrubs and role-players. Given that fact, one must question the wisdom of the decision to continue featuring Chris Boucher on such a channel. After all, Boucher has now had THREE thirty-point games this season, putting into doubt his status as…
Read MoreYuta Watanabe Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (4/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/t5_DCIui0u8 The title of the chapter* of my upcoming manga about Yuta Watanabe’s life where this career-high 21-point performance is depicted: “Dreams of Eagle and Lion Entwined”. Who cares if that doesn’t actually mean anything? I don’t. I’m still in the very early planning stages of this “Yuta Watanabe Life Story” project; I haven’t even…

https://youtu.be/b6Pe9gxjB2s The Raptors may suck now, but their fanbase is still just as happy as ever to endlessly bleat about how their team’s development program is SO GOOD and how many UNDISCOVERED GEMS they discovered by picking through the vast dirt pile that makes up the available pool of free agents, G-Leaguers, and potential draftees…
