Kyle 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…

Jeremy 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…

Hollis 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…

Miles 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…

Roy 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,…

Jimmy 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…

Evan 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…

Al Horford 24 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2014)

Rallies are underway to demand that Al Horford be named an All-Star this year. He has been named to the team in the past, that is true, but his continued streak of high level play has not been adequately rewarded. I’ve been organizing demonstrations in public places around town to protest this incredible injustice. If…

Mike Dunleavy 27 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2014)

Call me optimistic, but I thought, going into this year, that there would be a battle for the starting small forward position. Two players with similar skill-sets and skin pigmentation. The incumbent, Mike Dunleavy, versus the young upstart, Doug McDermott. I was wrong. First or second time ever, I think. It turns out that McDermott,…

Dante Exum 11 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/7/2014)

I don’t know about you guys, but when I think about Dante Exum, the area of land that comes to mind first is not Australia or even Utah, but Ethiopia. Yes, the mighty Axumite empire is what I recall foremost, a nation of power that rivaled its contemporaries in the middle of the first millennium….
