The Kings being this good disrupts my perception of the world. For the past decade they have sucked relentlessly, and my world became a world where the Kings could never be good. The purple guys from Sacramento could be relied upon to accumulate a collection of disparate talents and try to win, then fail and…

Devin Harris 20 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2014)
When Raymond Felton comes back, is he even going to get any minutes? Devin Harris and Jameer Nelson, unbelievably, have the point guard position on lock. There is no need to insert team cancer Raymond Felton, who has purposely tried to ruin multiple teams so that he could leave, into the lineup just so he…
Read MoreMike Muscala 12 Points/3 Assists Full Highlights (12/10/2014)
Mike Muscala sat in his apartment, watching ESPN to unwind after a very successful game. The talking heads on the screen chatted about god-knows-what, and the only indication that the Hawks had just won a basketball game was the final score displayed for a few brief seconds in the ticker at the bottom of the…
Read MoreErick Green 11 Points/3 Assists/1 Buzzer Beater Full Highlights (12/10/2014)
Welcome to DTB’s honesty hour, where DownToBuck sits down with you and only tells truths. Today we’re talking about Denver Nuggets guard Erick Green. Since we’re being honest here with no deception or lies, I have to tell you something: I was only vaguely aware of Erick Green’s being in the league before I made…
Read MoreDonatas Motiejunas 18 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2014)
Dwight Howard must be freaking out right now. He sits on the bench in his fancy suit with his fancy watch, clapping dutifully every time Donatas Motiejunas does something good, but on the inside you just know that he’s watching his replacement in a panic, a replacement who is consistently performing post moves with a…
Read MoreC.J. Miles 30 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/10/2014)
The shimmering silver haze of the hall stretched on to infinity. High-arched windows ascended towards an unseen ceiling. Benches and fountains occasionally served to break up the vast grandeur. On one of these benches sat a hunched-over figure, adorned in a white robe. Donald Sloan was bored. None of his Pacers teammates ever came to…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 23 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2014)
The Knicks are so, so bad this year. And, as with many teams of substandard construction, things are getting a little tense in the locker room. Not the sexual kind of tense, either. The angry kind, the kind where people start bringing weapons to store in their lockers. There is apparently a newly-ignited feud between…
Read MoreJabari Parker 15 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2014)
We interrupt your regularly scheduled description to bring you this very important update: Jabari Parker needs more touches in the second half of games. Every game it’s the same story: he starts off well, scoring a couple buckets early. Then his touches start dwindling, he gets benched for a while, and he never regains his…
Read MoreGerald Green 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/9/2014)
Walking up to the arena, Gerald Green happened to glance at the large, lit-up letters above the main entrance. Since when had this place been called the “Fulton Homes Center”? Shrugging, he continued his way inside the building. Walking to the locker room, Gerald couldn’t help but notice the amount of promotional material for Fulton…
Read MoreGreg Monroe 22 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2014)
In the interest of journalistic ethics, I must disclose something at the forefront of this description. Moose needed 22 shot attempts to score 22 points: the dreaded “Jordan Crawford” effect. A player who scores as many or fewer points than the amount of field goals they attempt rarely is having a positive effect on the…
