Hassan Whiteside 17 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2015)

Some people have been asking, if Hassan Whiteside keeps up this level of play until his next contract, will he get the max? in DownToBuck’s not-humble-at-all opinion, this is a magnificently stupid question. These people are not thinking big enough. You could ask, “if Hassan Whiteside plays like this for the next few years, will…

Luke Babbitt 15 Points/1 Dunk Full Hairlights (2/11/2015)

“Our power is growing. I can feel it,” said Luke Babbitt, seemingly talking to an empty locker room. “It is as I told you. The longer I get, the better you shoot,” replied Luke’s hair. “Monty, the vile minutes-reducer, will pay dearly for his insolence. When you were benched, I could feel the anger glowing…

Timofey Mozgov 20 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2015)

Cavaliers’ record without Timofey Mozgov: 19-17. With Mozgov: 14-4. The defense rests, your honor. Cleveland may or may not have overpaid (alright let’s face it they drastically overpaid) for Mozgod’s services, but you cannot argue with results. He has filled a huge bear-shaped hole in the Cavaliers’ roster, with his defense and bigness. Unfortunately, we’ve…

J.J. Barea 22 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2015)

JJ Barea stood on the sandy beach, his eyes closed, facing the direction of the reflected moon on the shimmering water. The darkening twilight and ocean mist alike shrouded him in the mystique of his native land, Puerto Rico. He took a deep breath of the breeze, and relished its salty tang. This was his…

Nick Collison 15 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2015)

I don’t feel like doing the research, but it seems like Nick Collison must be one of the longest tenured players to never average double figures in any stat over a season. I know, I know, his impact is made in ways that don’t show up in the box score, yada yada, he’s always making…

P.J. Tucker 17 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2015)

The NFL has something called the “Tuck Rule”. I don’t know what it is other than it was put in place to ensure that the Patriots remain a dynasty for the next hundred years. Here is my proposal for a “Tucker Rule” for the NBA. It’s actually less of a “rule” and more of an…

Wayne Ellington 18 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2015)

Wayne Ellington looked at the post-it note he had placed in his locker, the little pale-yellow square that gave him strength before every game. It read: “You’re a starter now. Go out there and make sure you keep it that way.” In the middle of his little moment of self-motivation, Jeremy Lin appeared at Wayne’s…

P.J. Hairston 16 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2015)

Wow, I just looked up PJ Hairston’s stats for the season, and I stopped wondering why I haven’t done many highlights of him so far. He’s sucking! And blowing! 32% from the field is seriously bad, so bad that I feel he should be catching more flak. Austin Rivers does this and we probably get…

Tony Snell Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2015)

I’ve noticed this for a while now, but this seems like a good time to mention it, now that he is finally playing up to his potential. Tony Snell is BLACK. Really black. He makes Derrick Rose look straight up white, and Klay Thompson like a KKK loyalist dipped in a bathtub of bleach. I…

Charlie Villanueva 26 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/9/2015)

Is Charlie Villanueva the most redundant player ever? He is essentially a version of Dirk that does all the same things, but worse. On the surface this sounds great, because the Mavs could essentially play Dirk all the time, it’s just that for fifteen minutes of that time, it’s a Dirk who doesn’t eat right,…
