Victor Claver sat near the wall of the training facility, staring intently at the basketball in his hands. Nic Batum, on his way to the fridge full of Gatorade, noticed his Spanish teammate’s focused demeanor. “Hey, Vic, getting in the zone for tonight’s game?” Victor looked up, startled, as if he had been awoken from…
Read MoreGoran Dragic 24 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2014)
Hello Goran Dragic, DownToBuck is a man of brevity, so I’m going to get straight to the point: please curtail your attempts to produce facial hair. It just looks straight up bad, sorry homie, gotta call it like I see it. I know having luxurious beards and funky mustaches is the new hip thing for…
Read MoreLou Williams 31 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2014)
Lou Williams is an example of what happens when you give a reasonbly talented player the ultimate green light. I’m surprised that he can convert any baskets at all, considering the intense green spotlights that are shining into his eyes at all times. There are a lot of players who could approximate his production, given…
Read MoreCorey Brewer 25 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2014)
These are some pretty good highlights. Corey Brewer hitting a bunch of threes, making funny faces? Always a good time, until you realize… Realize that he once scored 51 in a sanctioned NBA game. That knowledge kind of make all his other performances seem worthless. This isn’t even half of what he is capable of….
Read MoreTroy Daniels 14 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (12/27/2014)
Thanks to the Warriors’ TV crew, we have no image suitable for a video thumbnail. I had to take matters into my own hands.I think it turned out pretty good. Stephen Curry is looking so sad because he just witnessed Troy Daniels hit 4 treys, and he knows his time as “best shooter in the…
Read MoreC.J. Watson 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2014)
Pacers color guy Quinn Buckner is perhaps the best in the league and filling up space with his words. A lot of other broadcast crews get into lulls where nobody knows what to say, but not the Pacers crew. Quinn just talks and talks about whatever comes to mind, and I have to say, he’s…

Read MoreKhris Middleton 21 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2014)
Khris “Kate” Middleton is still one of my favorite Bucks players. He is an excellent shooter who doesn’t try to do things that he’s incapable of doing. He’s not getting as many minutes as last year, because we’re trying to artificially lower his value so we can pay him less next year, but he’s a…
Read MoreCole Aldrich Career High 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2014)
Attention Kansas Jayhawks fans: How quickly you have given up on Cole Aldrich! After four seasons of not doing much at all in the league, your attentions became focused on other Kansas players who you thought would excel in the NBA: Ben McLemore, Thomas Robinson, one Andrew Wiggins, and many more. You remember fondly the…
Read MoreZach LaVine 12 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2014)
How many assists would you expect the “best point guard in the league” to acculumate with these players: Blake Griffin – Great finisher, adequate midrange game for pick and pops JJ Redick – Elite perimeter shooter DeAndre Jordan – Dunks everything even close to the rim Matt Barnes – Can make shots accompanied by an…
