“Gorgui, man, I could use some of your African wisdom right about now.” Gorgui looked over to see Shabazz Muhammad wearing a very pleading expression on his face. “Last time I tell you story of how Moon and Sun Came to Dwell in the Sky, you make fun. Maybe if Shabazz did not dismiss Gorgui’s…

Quincy Acy 18 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (1/10/2015)
I can’t even believe how bad the Knicks are. I thought they were bad to start the season but their current level of suck is off the charts. I would say that they didn’t even have a single NBA-average player on the floor last night. Not one. Calderon gets close, but he stank it up…
Read MorePatty Mills 19 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2015)
Patty Mills is injured last season, and the Spurs go on to win the championship. Patty Mills comes back, and the Spurs don’t look as unbeatable as before. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? That’s right! Taco party at DTB’s place! DownToBuck will provide the tacos, and you all will provide the ladies and booze!…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 18 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (1/10/2015)
What did I just watch? Andrew Wiggins didn’t even score 20 points tonight. Did he not know that he had a streak of several consecutive 20-point games, a streak that was vitally important to keep intact? How are we supposed to compare him to LeBron if he can’t even get seven straight 20-point games? This…
Read MoreZach LaVine 19 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2015)
Zach LaVine is going to be a good player. How can a dude with his athleticism and shooting stroke not be? Ben McLemore figured it out, and so can Zach. Just give him a little time. Time is one thing the Timberpups have a lot of. There is no pressure to win, and all their…
Read MoreAustin Daye 22 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2015)
Here’s an experTip for Austin Daye: eat some god damn brownies. Here’s another: if you’re gonna be in the league because of your shooting ability, make damn well sure you can actually shoot. And a third: find an all-you-can-eat buffet and live there forever. Austin Daye has surely disappointed even the most positive-thinking Spurs fans….
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 23 Points Full Highlights (1/9/2015)
“Forgot my shades.” Kelly Olynyk walked in to the storage room, grabbed his sunglasses, put them on, and walked out without another word. The members of Starcubism, minus their keyboardist, looked at each other. “Don’t tell me you expected that, Moonbeam.” Ferguson said agitatedly after briefly being buoyed by Kelly’s reappearance. Moonbeam wore a different…
Read MoreBismack Biyombo Career High 14 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2015)
I’m not here to argue the merits of taking Bismack Biyombo with the 7th overall pick. It is what it is. Why not go for the next Mutombo? He’s been as good as advertised on the defensive end, and as poor as advertised on offense. He’s like the opposite of Al Jefferson, as opposite as…
Read MoreJustin Holiday 14 Points Full Highlights (1/9/2015)
The presents are forgotten, the gingerbread houses dismantled, the relatives have departed for another year. Yes, the holidays are over now, but do not fret, my friend! On the Golden State Warriors, it’s always Holiday time. Instead of presents, you get three-pointers. Instead of gingerbread houses, a eurostep. Instead of relatives, how about some and-ones?…
Read MoreBrandon Bass 17 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (1/9/2015)
Brandon “I’m More of a Bass Man Myself” Bass has not shown any willingness or ability to shoot three-pointers over a career that has spanned nearly a decade. Before this momentous game, he only had made two, and they both came last year. With this one, he brings his career percentage above the 10% mark…
