Who says that the Morris twins need each other around to be successful? Marcus had a decent first game with the Pistons, and for an encore put on a very Markieff-esque performance while the real thing was 2000 miles away in Phoenix. It was seriously exactly like watching his brother out there. I don’t know…

Terrence Ross 21 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2015)
The general feeling I get from the Raptors fanbase is that Terrence Ross is a festering agglomeration of disgusting trashy bits. “He’s not aggressive enough” they say. “Just a soft jump shooter who can’t shoot” they say. “Why can’t he be more like Bruno?” they wonder. Just kidding! Toronto fans hate Bruno even more than…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 12 Points 76ers Debut Full Highlights (10/30/2015)
Can we talk about how the Kings gave up on their crowd-sourced lottery pick after only one season? Yes, we can, because this is my description box and I can type whatever I want in it. Deal with it. Anyway, back to Nik Stauskas (the guy I was referencing above, Thomas Robinson can wait for…
Read MoreRobin Lopez 18 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2015)
It is well-known that Robin Lopez is a comic book nerd who likes to go to conventions. I wouldn’t have a problem with that except for one thing: at any con he goes to, he takes the women from all the other deserving nerds. I mean, he’s not even that attractive if we’re being objective…
Read MoreJohn Jenkins 17 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2015)
Let it be known that I have always believed in John Jenkins. Even when his back had to be surgically reconstructed like a jigsaw puzzle made out of slivers of vertebrae, I believed. Now, guess what? DownToBuck is right again. To be fair, there is a lot of time left in the season for Jenkins…

Everybody panic.
Read MoreAndrea Bargnani 17 Points Nets Debut Full Highlights (10/28/2015)
Now that Andrea Bargnani has emerged from underneath the darksome shadow of that gigantic contract that the Raptors gave him, we can appreciate him for what he is (a tissuey jump-shooting seven-footer) rather than mock him for what he should have been (a franchise cornerstone who is a nightly threat to go bananas). 1.5 million…
Read MoreJulius Randle 15 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2015)
Thought exercise: if Julius Randle turned out to be a total stud this year (a possibility), and he outplayed all the “real” rookies, would the NBA cave in and make him rookie of the year? They already bent the rules a little bit for Blake Griffin, who played in the preseason before missing an entire…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 26 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2015)
It’s comforting to know that, as much as things change in the NBA, some things will always stay the same. That there are certain immutable facts of the NBA that will never falter in their trueness. Like the Jazz commentators using the word “confidence” whenever Derrick Favors hits a jumper. They were doing it two…
