Regarding players on the 76ers roster, the question you have to ask yourself is, “Would this player get any minutes on another team?” In most cases the answer is “Yes, but not very many.” In Brandon Davies’ case, I used to think the answer was “Absolutely not, no way” but I have revised my answer…

Sebastian Telfair 16 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
Sebastian Telfair is another one of those straight-outta-high-school prospects that sort of flubbed once arriving in the NBA. He has insane speed, but was never able score or pass at a high-enough level to cut it as a starter. If people had been making YouTube mixtapes when this dude was tearing up New York, probably…
Read MoreJaVale Mcgee 16 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
The early morning sun shone through the portrait windows, heating the room though the light layer of frost on the trees outside betrayed the true coldness of the dawn. JaVale McGee relaxed in his divan, sipping some imported Kopi Luwak, and retorted. “I know that, Kenneth, but I really think that the best thing to…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 12 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
Is Bogdanovic like a super common last name in the former Yugoslav republics? Or is it just a coincidence that there’s another dude who the Suns drafted named Bogdan Bogdanovic? (John Johnson was an All-Star) Or are they the same person? It’s really hard to tell, the only evidence I have is that some Euro-looking…
Read MoreAvery Bradley Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
The Celtics just almost pulled off a huge comeback win over the Mavericks, having a chance to tie it late in the 4th after being down by 31 points earlier in the game. Avery Bradley may have choked on the free throws, but you can’t really blame him. He was worn out after putting the…
Read MoreK.J. McDaniels 14 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
I like what I have seen so far from K.J. McDaniels. That happens a lot to poor old DownToBuck; making highlights naturally leads to seeing more of the good and less of the bad than an average viewer. For all I know he was playing like total garbage during the rest of the game not…
Read MoreIman Shumpert 15 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2014)
Iman Shumpert’s flattop is looking a little worse for wear. It seems like there’s a part of it missing in the back. Did he sleep on it funny for six months in a row? A basketball fan should never pay attention to the style choices of NBA players, but I can’t help but wonder if…
Read MoreGary Neal 17 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2014)
Gary Neal sat in his condo and smiled. His team hadn’t won the game, but he didn’t really care about that. Team success was never as much fun as individual success, and Gary’s performance had been fairly good. However, what really put him in a pleasant mood was not anything related to basketball. After several…
Read MoreShawne Williams 16 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2014)
“And here’s the locker room,” Pat Riley was saying. “It still kinda smells like champagne if you sniff carefully. Anyway, let me introduce you to some of the guys.” Shawne looked around. The Heat locker room wasn’t any nicer than any of his previous teams’ locker rooms, but what really mattered was the players in…
Read MoreAmar’e Stoudemire 17 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2014)
Carmelo Anthony just hit 20,000 points on his career. A significant achievement, one that guarantees the HOF (unless your name is Tom Chambers). Can Amar’e Stoudemire join this exclusive club as well? Doubtful. If he can somehow significantly increase his scoring and manages to play 5 or so more years, he can get there. He…
