Al Horford 30 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/29/2015)

Al Horford just tallied the first 30 point game for the Hawks in over a year, the last coming on November 12th when Paul Millsap dominated his old team for the same amount. Now, I know that the Hawks like to pass the ball and distribute the scoring equally amongst each other. DownToBuck appreciates that….

Giannis Antetokounmpo 27 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2015)

For some reason, the amount of hype for Giannis Antetokounmpo I notice around the internet is less than it should be. Hype-wise, he definitely peaked in his rookie year, because I hardly see anybody freaking out about the fact that this super-raw skinny guy from Greece is averaging 15 PPG on 51% shooting. Other than…

Khris Middleton Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2015)

There has never been a more appropriate usage of the nickname “Kha$h Money” than there is right now. Kha$h Money Middleton lived up to all three parts of his nickname last night; he was totally Middleton, totally cash from three, and totally money from anywhere else on the court. There is no part of the…

Ersan Ilyasova 19 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2015)

Watching Brandon Jennings pass the ball to Ersan Ilyasova for a three pointer brought back memories I thought permanently repressed. Years of Bucks fandom, rushing back into my mind like a river bursting through a dam. Images of Andrew Bogut, the screams of him mangling his arm, remembrances of drafting Joe Alexander, an apparition of…

Will Barton 29 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2015)

I think the YouTubes are leaking into real life. Check out that the music that the Nuggets arena people are playing at 1:13. You heard right: it’s that overused “epic”/”motivating” music that accompanies approximately half of the videos on YouTube. I don’t feel like figuring out the name of the piece, but it’s recognizable instantly….

Norris Cole 17 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2015)

Norris Cole slept soundly in his bed. So deep was his sleep that even a clumsy, noisy intruder invading his bedroom did not cause him to stir… Iman Shumpert furtively shined a dim flashlight at Norris’ head. When the beam of light caught Norris’ hair, Iman sighed with a mixture of pleasure and frustration and…

Nikola Vucevic 28 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2015)

Nikola Vucevic is one of those players whose true shooting percentage is basically the same as their “real” shooting percentage. That’s because he doesn’t really shoot free throws and he really really doesn’t shoot threes. Apparently he is now an elite passing big, but that doesn’t count towards your true shooting percentage. It should, though,…

Tony Snell 22 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2015)

Tony Snell is why I have to stopped getting hyped about Summer League performances. I KNOW that they mean nothing, that any player with a smidgen of NBA talent can look really good, but I can’t help myself. I want to believe, I want players to be good, I want them to be good RIGHT…

Omri Casspi Career High 36 Points/9 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2015)

Omri Casspi reclined on his couch, tablet in hand, watching some trashy rom-com on Netflix, joined only by an empty carton that once contained General Tso’s chicken. He didn’t particularly care about the plot of the movie; there was a chick, there was a dude, and maybe, if he was lucky, they’d screw at the…

Richaun Holmes 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/28/2015)

You have been fooled again. One would think that people would have learned their lesson, that those burned once would be leery of being burned twice. It is perhaps even worse this time. When I purported to make highlights of Richaun Holmes scoring 11, it was at least within the realm of possibility that he…
