Draymond Green 21 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2015)

Last year I wrote the following words in a Draymond Green description (coincidentally also for a 21-point performance, how’s that for a Halloween spook session?): “What I want is for Draymond Green to get paid a max contract by the Pistons in the offseason. That’s what I want. Why do I want that? Because we…

J.J. Redick 23 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2015)

Back again, you racist? Not only are you blatantly disrespecting the United States by preferring basketball highlights over World Series highlights, but you have now elevated your racism to a new plateau of bigotry by ignoring the highlights of a black player in favor of highlights of a white player. You are disgusting. You are…

Toney Douglas 17 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2015)

The Pelicans’ point guard sitch is looking somewhat dire right now. With the starter (Jrue Holiday) on a minutes restriction and the backup (Norris Cole) doing his best Stephen-Curry-From-4-Years-Ago impression with an ankle injury, the Pelicans are left with no choice but to give some serious scrubs some serious minutes: -Nate Robinson (waived for being…

Bradley Beal 26 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2015)

“Marcin, we need to set some things straight.” Marcin Gortat looked over to Bradley Beal’s locker. “I agree, Bradley. With new season comes new beginnings and new understandings.” “So you know what I’m talking about, then,” said Bradley. Marcin raised his eyebrows. “Actually I am not knowing,” Marcin responded innocently. “Maybe it about how I…

Eric Bledsoe 33 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2015)

The World Series is going on, dude. Why are you even caring about basketball right now? How can you call yourself an American when you can’t even partake in your fatherland’s favorite pastime? This Royals-Mets matchup is one for the ages, certain to go down as one of the greatest World Series’ ever, and you…

Otto Porter 16 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2015)

Perfect timing for the Wizards! Just as Nene starts turning into a lazy Brazilian bum, Otto Porter starts turning into a perfect complimentary role-player! The two occurrences should cancel each other out, and Washington should find about the same amount of playoff success this year as they did last. Took the Ottomaton long enough. I…

Myles Turner 10 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2015)

Myles Turner actually looks legit? Unlike many rookies, he’s converting non-trivial stuff for the bulk of his points. The crazy jumpers that he keeps taking he probably won’t keep making, but for now, it looks like I have a reason to watch the Pacers for once. Based on this highlight video alone, I’m thinking that…

Bojan Bogdanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2015)

Damn, quite the ascension for Bojan Bogdanovic. Rookie one year, second best player on his team the next! Okay, that’s an exaggeration. Third best, maybe, but keep in mind that I have a really low opinion of Joe Johnson. In any case, one of their better players. Which is not a good thing if you’re…

Rodney Hood 17 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2015)

Sometimes providence smiles on ol’ DownToBuck. I won’t go in the details of the latest mess I got myself into, but it involved shooting a music video with Rodney Hood and then another kind of shooting happened. I was pretty worried there for a while. I mean, we did kind of bail from the scene…

Greg Monroe 22 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2015)

It’s time to ask some pointed questions about the Bucks defense, after they gave up an average of 120 points to two Eastern Conference teams. Namely, where the heck is it? I’ll give you the answer: it’s in Dallas, with Zaza Pachulia, and it’s in Washington, with Jared Dudley. A smaller amount resides with Ersan…
