It’s still early in the season, but if I had to vote now, my choice for the “craziest performance by a scrub” award would go to Solomon Hill for this 28 outburst against the Wizz. It’s not entirely unexpected; Han Solomon has been getting big minutes in relief of all the dead people on the…
Read MoreDonatas Motiejunas 16 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
D-Mo has gotten to off to an awful start to the season, playing tentatively while missing most of his shots anyway. Jeremy Lin can no longer be the scapegoat for the entirety of the Rockets’ problems, so we have to find a new one. Tarik Black perhaps? Yeah, why not. That guy is holding everybody…
Read MoreIsaiah Canaan Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
That crazy system the Rockets’ D-League affiliate has where they just jack threes the whole game paid off last year when one of its products, Troy Daniels, hit a clutch three in the playoffs. That same system failed to provide dividends with Robert Covington. But Its paying off again with Isaiah Canaan, who had a…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 9 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
You know what’s happening right now? I’m watching basketball. Why does the NBA torment me with midday weekend basketball during prime highlight making time? They know I won’t be able to the resist the allure of a Blazers-Clippers matchup. Damn, Lillard just hit a DEEP three. Anyway, yeah, Giannis has been pretty good this year….
Read MoreTyson Chandler 15 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
Explain to me how this is fair: Tyson Chandler can dunk. He can dunk so good that against NBA-level defenders, he gets to dunk four times. Meanwhile, I can’t even touch the net. Heck, I need a footstool just to reach the tall cupboards in my kitchen. The one and only time I dunked, it…
Read MoreLuc Richard Mbah a Moute 16 Points/2 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute has a special place in my heart, occupying space next to a dangerously-clogged artery and my memories of Sarah, the cute girl who lived across the street from me for one year in second grade. How has Luc gained access to this privileged part of my anatomy, you may ask….
Read MoreKyle Korver 20 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
This whole no girlfriend thing is working out great. Sure, it was kind of hard, the first few times, to say no to some hot babe was crawling all over me. And I kinda miss the cuddling. Yeah, the cuddling. Deal with it. You guys are the beneficiaries! More time for highlights, no longer do…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 17 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
Jeremy Lamb is the Thunder’s prize for giving up on James Harden, but while he has been decent at times his minutes and production have not been consistent. Now is the time for him to prove his efficacy. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are not currently hogging all the shots, giving Jeremy and others opportunity…
Read MoreHollis Thompson Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
Hollis “All Holl Is Breaking Loose” Thompson: actually a good player, or just good relative to his teammates? These are the hard-hitting questions that DownToBuck is not afraid to ask! Unfortunately, DTB asks, but he doesn’t have answers. We’ll have to wait until Hollis gets to play on a different roster. Until then, the following…
Read MoreMiles Plumlee 15 Points/16 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
[PSA: There are no dunks in this video] That hurts just to type. I keep unconsciously reaching for the ‘delete’ key so I can get rid of those blasphemous words. But there it is: Miles Plumlee makes seven field goals, but not one of them is a dunk. I went into the project with high…
