Serge Ibaka 17 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (4/19/2014)

What if I told you that Serge “Dirge” Ibaka was just as important to the Thunders’ title aspirations as Russell Westbrook? It’s true! Everybody loves a volume scorer with low percentages, but there is less love for the guy who shoots well above 50% and still scores 15 per game, just because he doesn’t swag…

Greivis Vasquez 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (4/19/2014)

I’ve been doing a lot of research lately. Scouring material, both electronic and printed, for clues. Where is Greivis Vasquez from? Real, concrete answers are hard to find. Most of the sources indicate he is from a place called “Venezuela” which is located in “South America”. Now, I consider myself a geography expert. And I…

JJ Redick 22 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2014)

Playoff times are not DownToBuck’s favorite times. Yeah, the intensity and stuff is pretty cool. And seeing teams match up, making adjustments against each other, for an entire series. But the rotations that were loosening up leading up to the end of the year are suddenly constricted, leading to tons of Blake Griffin and Chris…

Kelly Olynyk 24 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/16/2014)

There was a loud knocking on the door. Kelly Olynyk looked up from his nearly-completed work, which he had hoped would be completed without intrusion. The knocker didn’t wait for an answer, and let himself in. “Hey Kelly, I was just wondering if you wanted to… what are you doing?” Phil Pressey asked this question…

Austin Rivers 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (4/16/2014)

On the surface these appear as normal Austin Rivers highlights. He makes some shots, he gathers some assists. But if you watch closer you may notice an underlying ulterior motive, beyond merely showing Austin Rivers doing good things on a basketball court. Have you figured it out yet? That’s correct. I made these highlights not…

Cole Aldrich Career High 13 Points/16 Rebounds/5 Blocks Full Highlights (4/16/2014)

At the end of last year I made some Cole Aldrich highlights where he got a career high in points, rebounds and blocks. Guess what. He did it again! Cole Aldrich is officially a member of DownToBuck’s “End of the Year All-Star Team”. He sucks (or rather, doesn’t get any minutes) for the entire year,…

Jeremy Evans Career High 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/16/2014)

This was a breakout year for Jeremy Evans. He played way more minutes than before, freed from the shackles of Paul Millsap being really good. His field goal percentage went down, but that’s because he attempted shots other than dunks. Basically he took the advice given to anyone who is known for their work around…

Toure’ Murry 15 Points Full Highlights (4/16/2014)

The Knicks’ season blissfully comes to an end with a lineup decision that many Knicks fans were clamoring for since the start of the season: big minutes for Toure’ Murry! He has some big advantages over the other point guards that the Knicks trotted out this season: he’s not as fat as Felton, and he’s…

Carrick Felix 10 Points/3 Assists Full Highlights (4/16/2014)

Carrick Felix gazed up at the mountain before him. Its peak was crowned with snow, and a jagged, barely-visible path zigged and zagged its way to the very highest point. The mountain’s enormity was intimidating, but Carrick had been walking this path for a long time, and now was not the time to turn back….
