Two players locked in a struggle for the ages, their destinies inseparable, bound with the twine of conflict. Man against man, will against will, warfare of both mind and body. A storyline that would capture the public’s attention in an instant, were they to be made aware of it. You perhaps do not know yet…

Clint Capela 14 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2016)
When I saw in the boxscore that Clint Capela had six made field goals I was like “Strap yourself in bro, because the Capelmeister just whapped it six different times and you’re about to make highlights.” Yeah, sometimes I refer to myself as “bro” in my thoughts. Anyway, I got going on the video, and…
Read MoreGary Harris 20 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2016)
Gary Harris keeps having games where he scores in the upper teens or maybe twenty. That’s all well and fine, and those performances can certainly sustain my state of being #hypedforgaryharris, but I’m thinking it’s time for him to take the next step. That step being to score 25 in a game. It will be…

Jonathon Simmons is one of the winners of this year’s “Which random player will the Spurs keep on the end of their bench?” lottery, after having picked four of the five winning numbers correctly. Rasual Butler was the grand prize winner, with the selections of 5, 14, 25, 62, and 63. DownToBuck picked none of…

Next step for Joe Young after having his first good game in the pros: changing his name to something more memorable than “Joe Young”. He’s an African-American, why doesn’t he have a stereotypically African-American name? Everyone remembers Jacquizz Rodgers (yeah, he’s a football player, my point remains), even though he kind of sucks. Ain’t nobody…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 18 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2016)
Anyone else getting rookie-year Pau Gasol vibes from Nikola Jokic? Please tell me I’m not the only one, because he is emitting, at least to me, some serious rookie-year Pau Gasol vibes. Seriously. Serious vibes are being emitted and I don’t want to be the one everyone thinks is crazy just because they are the…
Read MoreMyles Turner 25 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2016)
Damn, where did this come from? Myles “Tyme-Turner” Turner had only scored in double-figures three times prior to this; all 10 point performances of limited noteworthiness. And then he comes out and drops 25 like he does it on a game-to-game basis? It defies explanation. This ranks right up there as one of the most…
