It is mildly concerning to me that the Hawks aren’t winning their games by more points than they are. How is the German Rondo supposed to get his ring when the Hawks can’t even curbstomp the Nets by thirty each game like they’re supposed to? Is it because they’re not giving enough minutes to the…

Courtney Lee 18 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2015)
It’s a known fact that everybody on the 2009-10 New Jersey Nets, the team that went 12-70, is cursed. Many of the players on that team are out of the league, and those that are in the league have yet to find sustained success on good teams. Devin Harris is doing good on the Mavs,…
Read MorePatty Mills 18 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2015)
Patty Mills was convinced of it: this place was hell on earth. First of all, he was surrounded by depraved sickos. What else would one expect from a place called “San Antonio Paraphilia Rehabilitation”? As he sat in his padded cell, he tried to remember all the crazies he had been forced to talk with…
Read MoreJarrett Jack 23 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2015)
DownToBuck does not love all role-players equally. Like a biased parent, he picks and chooses his favorites, showering special attention on some while neglecting others. DeMar DeRozan watches sadly as endless highlights get made of Donatas Motiejunas. Jarrett Jack is one of the ignored ones. I just don’t like him. I can’t explain why except…
Read MoreKyle Korver 17 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2015)
Allen Iverson and Kyle Korver were teammates back in the old days before dress codes and advanced statistics. Young Korver was just a rookie, eager to be tutored by one of the greatest scorers in the game. Sharpen your pencils, kiddos, it’s quiz time! How much of the future All-Star Kyle Korver’s All-Stariness can we…
Read MorePatrick Patterson 15 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2015)
The Raptors have to wonder what’s going on right now. The only team to lose a playoff game at home so far, and they’ve lost two of them. What’s the deal? I thought Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan were the best backcourt in the east, that combined with top-3 center Jonas Valanciunas and 6th Man…
Read MoreOtto Porter 15 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2015)
Making the Raptors into his bitches Abandoning the goggles allows him to ball Yes, he is actually decent now Befitting a player picked third overall Everyone was down on him, including me Not Wizards fans, though, who always believed Otto Porter is blossoming before our eyes The tree of stardom grown from the potential seed…
Read MoreEric Gordon 23 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2015)
Am I the only who was really happy when the Pelicans got off to a good start and shut up everybody at Oracle? I hate it when home fans are happy. During that first quarter, any time those Warriors fans stood up and applauded, or when one of the Warriors players got all excited, I…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 22 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2015)
My body is ready for the Bucks’ inevitable sweep at the hands of the Bulls. My hope would be that the Bulls can then take care of their second round matchup so Bucks fans can point at them and say “see, we had no chance of beating THAT.” I also hope that Derrick Rose goes…
Read MoreRudy Gobert All 134 Dunks Full Highlights (2014-2015 Season Dunkilation)
Rudy Gobert reclined in the chair on his porch, sipping a small glass of chartreuse. In front of him stretched the expanses of his finely-cultivated Victorian garden. Here and there, a dazzling peacock would appear in a pathway, strutting self-assuredly. Rudy could see a few of his gardeners tending to the flora. Sometimes it was…
