You would think that a former second-overall pick would be more popular, but I have reached the conclusion that there exists not a single fan of Marvin Williams. At most, there are fans of the Jazz who appreciate Marvin as a decent role-player; but there is not one person in the world who likes Marvin…

Nate Wolters Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)
There are no bright spots on the Milwaukee Bucks season. There are merely spots where the all-encompassing blackness is, perhaps, slightly less omnipresent. Nate Wolters is one of those spots. He’s been playing pretty good for a rookie. Forget about the fact that he’s actually older than Brandon Knight (who is already considered a crappy…
Read MoreHarrison Barnes 23 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)
The Warriors need to trade Harrison Barnes. They are trying to be a contender, if not this year, then the next, and they don’t have enough minutes to donate towards his development. They should be targeting high-quality backups at the PF and C positions. A backup bigman rotation of Marreese Speights, Draymond Green, Jermaine O’Neal,…

Gerald Green clambered up to the top of the bookcase. It was easy, even as a three-year-old, since the couch provided a convenient intermediate platform from which to climb even higher. His plan, so far, had executed without hitch; his mom was washing dishes in the kitchen, his dad too busy with the newspaper to…

Patty Mills sat behind the wheel of his rented SUV, parked inconspicuously in the parking lot of a strip mall in Lubbock, Texas. Astros cap on his head and sunglasses obscuring his eyes, he read the local paper with amusement. “BED BATH & BEYOND BANDIT STRIKES AGAIN!” Beneath this urgent, front-page headline was a picture…
Read MoreC.J. McCollum Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)
Be honest. How many of you get CJ McCollum and Ray McCallum confused? Because before I made these highlights they were basically the same player in my mind. Don’t lie. DownToBuck knows when you are lying. Unless you are a Blazers or Kings fan it’s unlikely that you’ve seen either play at all. I watch…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad Career High 12 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)
Anthony Bennett sucking at a historic level has deflected a lot of criticism from a bunch of under-performing rookies. Take Shabazz Muhammad. He hasn’t done anything this year; as the 14th pick, you would expect at least a little something. But I haven’t heard a peep regarding the Wolves wasting their pick. This is surprising….
