This might be the most egregious example of fraternal violence since Cain killed his brother Abel back in the Garden of Eden. The puffy-haired Lopez just had no answers as the neatly-coiffed hair of the other Lopez abused him repeatedly near the basket. What I really want to see is these two guys playing on…

Rudy Gobert 8 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/15/2014)
When not complaining about the amount of holiday time he gets or struggling with his country’s resistance to multiculturalism, Rudy Gobert spends a lot of time dunking basketballs. As he should; his tallness makes the task almost boring in its ease. Now, with both Dante Exum and Joe Ingles on his team feeding him the…
Read MoreKevin Martin 34 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2014)
So it turns out that the Timberwolves really aren’t good when Ricky Rubio isn’t around to not suck. Their trumpeted cadre of young talent is not having a fun time, though to be fair it was unreasonable to expect Anthony Bennett to be able to do anything. Kevin Martin, as savvy and veteran as always,…
Read MoreKris Humphries 16 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2014)
Staring blankly at his phone, Kris Humphries tried in vain to process the picture in front of him. There, looking right back at him like a grocery bag containing two watermelons, was his ex-girlfriend’s rear end. That butt was supposed to be for his and his eyes only. That had been one of their wedding-day…
Read MoreTristan Thompson 15 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (11/15/2014)
Tristan “Triscuits” Thompson is one of the players who lost out when the new big three united in Cleveland. Triscuits used to start and get big minutes; now Triscuits comes off the bench with lesser minutes. By the way, are you hungry for some TRISCUITS brand snack cracker right now? I know I am. However,…
Read MoreKyle Singler 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/15/2014)
Making these highlights really hurt. Every time I see the word “Singler”, it reminds me how I don’t have a GF right now. I know, I know, DTB doesn’t need a girl. He’s had his heart broken too many times. He has begun a new era of his life where his actions are not dictated…
Read MoreKevin Garnett 12 Points/12 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/15/2014)
My phone rings. “Hello, this is DownToBuck.” The voice on the other end is angry. “You take that video down right now or I’m calling the FBI.” I am no stranger to threats. NBA players do not appreciate the strange brand of truth that I provide. Without even asking the caller’s name, I know immediately…
Read MoreAlex Len Career High 17 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (11/15/2014)
Alex Len is struggling to extricate himself from the bust shirt he is currently wearing, the one provided to him by angry internet commentators. It’s one of those shirts that’s way too tight and thus impossible to get off without destroying it. And destroy it he must not, as there is no guarantee that he…
Read MoreGerald Green 26 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2014)
Do you want the good news or the bad news first? The good news, of course! Despair is so much easier to handle when it is preceded by joy. Gerald Green scored 26 points! That’s the good news. I’ll save the bad for until you’ve watched the video. Go on. Watch it. I’ll still be…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 17 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2014)
Jonas Valanciunas had settled in, as he often did, for a night of TV watching. His head was the only visible part of his body, as he was swathed entirely in a handmade quilt from his native Lithuania. The newly-acquired flat screen TV in front of him was a significant step up from the Soviet…
