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….

Tyson 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…
Read MoreRoy Hibbert 22 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
With the Pacers roster looking more like a morgue than a collection of NBA players, Roy Hibbert alone stands atop the pile of decaying bodies and announces “I am a legitimate rotation player!” While a fair number of Pacers scrubs get their moment in the sun, Hibbert is used to the minutes he’s getting. Sure,…
Read MoreJimmy Butler 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
Jimmy Butler sat in the boarded-up, abandoned building that he used as a safehouse and looked down at the glowing blue basketball in his hands. Here was a tool that he had used to start a revolution, a weapon of his own invention that possessed such destructive power that the World Government had been sent…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 20 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
Even though I ragged on it while Evan Fournier was in Denver, I sorta miss their announcers saying “Un, Deux, Trois!” after Fournier made a three. To compensate I’ve taken to saying it if I’m just watching a game at home. Shouting it, really. It really adds to the experience of viewing a game if…
