Dorell Wright 15 Points/3 Blocks/1 Dunk Full Highlights (4/23/2014)

Every time I think about Dorell Wright, I have these depraved thoughts. They are an unwelcome presence, but I cannot dispel them no matter how much mental energy I exert towards the task. It wasn’t a big problem during the regular season, when Dorell was getting minor minutes and had production to match, but now…

Amir Johnson 16 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2014)

Amir Johnson was the last player to go to the NBA straight out of high school. Now players have to waste a year of their prime formative years playing for incompetent college coaches running bad systems while also having to pretend to go to classes. Amir might have been raw coming in to the league,…

Mirza Teletovic 14 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2014)

Call me a loser, but I’m simply not that excited for the Raptors-Nets matchup. I didn’t really like either of these teams in the regular season. Watching the Nets is no fun because being reminded that Kevin Garnett sucks now is depressing. And watching the Raptors, well, Canadians are weird. Super weird. So excuse me…

Luis Scola 20 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2014)

Plans are in motion and contracts drawn up for DownToBuck’s next business venture: the NBA full-court food-court. Basketball food and fun for the whole family! Featuring such delightful establishments as Crowder’s Chowders, Tiago’s Banana Splitters and Andrea’s Primo Pasta Palace. But who would provide the beverages? I’ve got the alcohol covered by Larry Sanders’ Champagnes…

Beno Udrih 14 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2014)

Beno Udrih has not gotten much burn this year. In theory the Knicks could have used somebody like him; a point guard who likes to pass but can also score a little bit. Alas, he remained buried on the bench even after a few good games because Mike Woodson fancies himself a basketball savant but…

Hedo Turkoglu 13 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2014)

So the ‘roids didn’t work. Turkoglu’s arms are as soft-looking as ever and he probably has moobs. But we have learned a valuable lesson: huge, juiced-up muscles are not strictly necessary when all you do is shoot jumpers for fifteen minutes during blowouts. Sure, being able to showcase ill-gotten gains would certainly help in matters…

James Jones 12 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2014)

So James Jones barely plays at all in the regular season and now he gets fifteen minutes off the bench in the playoffs? If he was this good all along how come Spo didn’t realize it? Alternatively, if he wasn’t that good all along, why is he good now? I supposed it’s only fitting. Jones…

Chandler Parsons 24 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2014)

“Oh yeah,” Chandler groaned. “Put it into your mouth, just like that.” “Mmmm,” Jeremy murmured around the obstruction in his mouth. Both players, stripped down to their Under Armour in Jeremy’s kitchen, were shining with sweat. “Feels so good,” Chandler continued, head lolling back on his neck. He reached up to caress his pectorals, heightening…

Devin Harris 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/20/2014)

While March Madness was going on I saw a list of all the current NBA players from the schools in the Final Four. Three of the schools had tons of NBA alumni. The fourth, Wisconsin, had three. Jon Leuer, Greg Stiemsma, and Devin Harris. Way to represent, guys! It’s kind of weird to think about…

Gary Neal 17 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2014)

I still don’t know what the Bobcats were doing when they traded Ramon Sessions and Jeff Adrien for Luke Ridnour and Gary Neal. I guess it worked, cause they are a playoff team and the Bucks really aren’t, but them trading for two of the causes of the Bucks’ awfulness is strange. And it’s not…
