Tough loss for the Bucks tonight. Just not enough scoring punch to overcome the Hornets. If only there were some former players still around and still scoring in bunches. Bad news, Bucks fans. Remember that Cameroonian prince that we dumped unceremoniously for two secound round picks? He scored 19 points tonight, a number that would…

Charlie Villanueva 18 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (12/23/2014)
The odds of Charlie Villanueva making a roster this year were, according to my computations, approximately zero percent. When even Detroit doesn’t play you, you know you have problems. There are general negative reactions around the league to poor-defense chuckers. Villanueva takes both aspects to their extremes. He shoots like a madman at all times,…
Read MoreGerald Green 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/23/2014)
Gerald Green received a lot of flak for that 2-of-15 from downtown performance he had a few games back. I don’t see what the big deal is. Gerald is a great three point shooter. He doesn’t need to be open, and his whole game is based on just chucking the orange up there. Why would…
Read MoreAlex Len 17 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/23/2014)
One of the problems with the Phoenix Suns this year is their funky center rotation. Miles Plumlee is not the answer. He might have looked the part a little bit last year, but he’s not. Bill Walton is, similarly, not the answer, though since he’s not on the roster or otherwise affiliated with the team…
Read MoreDeMarre Carroll Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2014)
Is it just me or does DeMarre Carroll kind of look like that guy on the cover of “Exmilitary” by Death Grips? His hair is different, but he’s got the same homeless dude’s beard and wrinkly face. I don’t know if musically he sounds like “Exmilitary” though, or like any of their other albums. The…
Read MoreC.J. McCollum 17 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2014)
It’s okay, man. You are not alone. I also still get CJ McCollum and Ray McCallum confused sometimes. It would help if either one of them was doing something do distinguish themselves. Instead, after promising rookie seasons, they both have had their rear-ends duct-taped to the bench. Attention NBA teams: young players don’t get any…
Read MoreOmri Casspi 16 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2014)
Sometimes I wish I could be as surprised by the contents of highlight videos as you guys all are. Each new vid is like a Christmas present waiting to be opened; who knows what delights could be inside? You could end up with a PS4 (or Xbone (or gaming PC)) or another damned fruitcake. That’s…
Read MoreCorey Brewer 12 Points/5 Steals Rockets Debut Full Highlights (12/22/2014)
I must be an oracle or something, because just nine months ago, I wrote this in a description: “[Corey Brewer] should be angling to get traded somewhere where the weather isn’t a threat to kill him on a nightly basis. He should also try to land somewhere where they allow you to eat food, because…
Read MoreBoris Diaw 23 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2014)
DownToBuck fashions himself as an unstoppable highlight making machine, unencumbered by tedious human tendencies. He exists for one reason only: to compile video evidence of basketball players scoring points. There is no room for love or other human emotions. An observant observer might notice a suspicious gap every night (or day, hello my Euro friends!)….
Read MoreFestus Ezeli Career High 15 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2014)
I was wondering who I was going to get to do highlights of first this year, Ognjen Kuzmic or Ifeanyi Festus Ezeli-Ndelue. With Bogut out, again, because he’s a pussy, the center position for the Warriors was up for grabs. Ognjen isn’t capable of really grabbing anything because of his stone hands, so it looks…
