December 2015 – DownToBuck

Lavoy Allen 14 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2015)

While making these highlights I was seriously distracted by the wide variety present in Pacers timeout entertainment. The whole process took about five minutes longer than it needed to because I had to: -Discover the outcome of the baby race (mascot interference ruined it) -Watch cheerleaders clad in outfits that were barely more than underwear…

Greg Monroe 23 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2015)

I’m still undecided as to whether Greg Monroe is a good fit for the Bucks, or, in fact, is a good fit for any team. Post-up centers are decidely out of vogue in the current NBA metagame. On the Bucks, he’s especially incongruous because there are no shooters to spread the floor and give Monroe…

Meyers Leonard 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/31/2015)

Meyers heard the chime from his phone and knew he wasn’t going to like whatever text he had just received. http://imgur.com/qFBpbZy http://imgur.com/uf4uRD2

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 23 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2015)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope might be regressing a little bit. After his second season where he actually shot okay from three, he’s shooting below 30% five “long gun” attempts per game. The last guy who did that in Detroit got run out of town with a bunch of years still left on his contract. I’m not advocating…

P.J. Tucker Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2015)

While doing some research for this description (yeah, this stuff needs research, you think I come up with all this stuff with my head?), it came to my attention that, currently, the top video when you search “PJ Tucker” is him talking about sneakers. This is a travesty. When one searches an NBA player, the…

J.J. Redick 26 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2015)

Just Jumpers. Roasting Evans, Davis, Inept Coach Killer.

T.J. Warren Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2015)

Does T.J. Warren ever miss? It sure doesn’t seem like it. Take a look at this vid. No misses, except when he gets fouled! Suspicion shrouds these events like a priest enrobed by his vestments. I did a little bit of digging in the DTB Archivium, looking for clues. And what I find may shock…

Andrew Wiggins 21 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2015)

Andrew stared, mouth agape, at the bag of marijuana in Dooby’s hand. After a few seconds, he remembered that he was supposed to project the image of a cool, street-smart basketball player, not a sheltered suburban preteen. “Cool. It’s always cool with me to smoke some weed, you know. Yeah. Let’s smoke it.” Dooby laughed….

Otto Porter 20 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2015)

Now that Otto Porter is back from his thigh injury, he has reclaimed his basketball talents from Garrett Temple, who had temporarily stolen them in order to further his own basketball career. The rightful state of things has been restored; Otto Porter is an improving young player, and Garrett Temple is a guy who can’t…

Jeff Withey 13 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2015)

Jeff Withey strolled through the misty graveyard. The sky above was a dim black, almost purple, lit only by a half-waxing moon. He was all alone, save for the bodies interred in the dirt that his feet now walked upon. It was a familiar place to him. This graveyard was where he had gone when…
