What’s up with Bojan Bogdanovic this season? It seems like last year I was making highlights of him every other game; I’ve only done three so far this year. Part of it is that I now have higher standards for him, but a larger part of it is that he has not improved at all…

Salah Mejri 10 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/24/2016)
Life is full of inexplicable mysteries. Like why is Sprite advertised as being a thirst quencher when the only thing it does is make you more thirsty? Some things in our shared existence are just not meant to be known. Another one: Why was Salah Mejri starting for the Mavericks? Don’t give me the whole…
Read MoreAron Baynes 13 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2016)
“Well, Mr. Baynes, after reviewing your files, I’m afraid that our bank won’t be able to loan you any money for your project.” “Aw, come on man!” Aron Baynes groaned. “‘Baynes Bus’ is a good idea! I already proved it could work, I just need a little cash to get it going again.” The banker…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/23/2016)
Who do we blame for the Hawks’ embarrassing loss to the undermanned, underperforming, and undertalented Suns last night? It would be too easy to blame Paul Millsap, who missed the game and whose scoring was dearly missed, but only a mistaken fool would actually go so far to pin the loss on a guy who…
Read MoreAlex Len 16 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2016)
“Hey Alex, I don’t know if it’s a good idea to bring that in here,” said Devin Booker, looking around urgently to see if any team employees had seen the bottle of vodka that Alex Len held in his hand. “Don’t care,” Alex said simply. “We sucking the dicks right now. Need something to lift…

It looks like it would be lots of fun to be a fan of Stephen Curry. Lots of fun. Splashing deep threes, splashing deeper threes, making everyone into his bitch, winning MVP’s, seeing all that unfold as a fan would be super satsifying. It almost makes me wish that I wasn’t a fan of only…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 21 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2016)
Let’s just forget about the “point guard” designation for D’Angelo Russell. When analyzing his stats with that preconceived notion, it is inevitable that you will end up disappointed. “Wow, this dude has a horrible assist-to-turnover ratio for a point!” However, if you think about him as just a “combo guard”, then all of a sudden…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/23/2016)
Forget about the rookie-year Pau Gasol vibes I was receiving from Nikola Jokic. I am not receiving those vibes anymore. He is emanating new vibes. Better vibes. Vibrant-er vibes. Prime Dirk Nowitzki vibes. No, I am not overreacting to the post-up fadeaway jumpers he has hit occasionally this year. I don’t even have a choice…
Read MoreArchie Goodwin 24 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/23/2016)
DownToBuck is a man of logic. When confronted with information, he analyzes it with a keen eye and a sharp mind. He is not drawn in by rhetoric or emotional appeals. So it makes sense that he would not have much patience for conspiracy theories. Tonight, though, his steadfast anti-conspiracy position is challenged. The shorthanded…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad 25 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2016)
The Timberwolves’ young core gets talked about a lot in NBA circles. Wiggins, Towns, Rubio. A big three that will take Minnesota to the promised land or at least make for some fun viewing for a few years until the team is dismantled. But no one ever includes the fourth piece of the championship puzzle,…
