What do the Bulls do this offseason? They were supposed to be, if not contenders, at least a strong playoff team. But now their season is over. Granted, there were at least a few bright spots, and they don’t need to demolish the whole thing and start over from scratch. That would be reactionary. But…

Boban Marjanovic Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2016)
The Spurs blew their load too early. They played Boban Marjanovic way too much during the regular season; It’s likely too late for them to unleash him as their secret weapon during the playoffs… Or is it? I don’t want to divulge everything right now, since I am currently employed as a playoffs consultant for…
Read MoreJordan McRae Career High 36 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/13/2016)
Never before has one of my own highlight videos been made so thoroughly obsolete. Jordan McRae scoring 36 (THIRTY FRICKIN SIX, HOLY DUMB DICKS) along with 7 assists (WHO CARES) makes my earlier vid showing his 12 and 4 look like garbage. Total garbage. I might as well delete that video at this point, because…
Read MoreNorman Powell Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (4/13/2016)
Ha! DownToBuck is vindicated! Norman Powell set a then-career-high total with 27 points just five days ago. Guess who didn’t do highlights? That’s right: DawkIns, and GD, and (most notably) DownToBuck. I can’t speak for those other two channels, but I figured that 14 free throws to go with only 5 made buckets would make…
Read MoreRobert Covington 24 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
Robert Covington is shooting a shade over seven threes per game this season. Only a few players can claim to surpass that number, and they all make sense: Curry, Thompson, Harden, and Lillard. Kyle Lowry and Paul George are pretty close. However, over his last seven games, Covington has shot the following amounts of threes:…
Read MoreSteven Adams 17 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
The scrub collection that OKC put on the floor last night somehow took the mostly-intact Spurs to overtime, largely thanks to the combined efforts of Cameron Payne and Steven Adams. Enes Kanter and Dion Waiters tried their best, but ultimately, the loss can be put on them. Adams did a good job, showing that big…
Read MoreCameron Payne 17 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
The more I think about it, the less the name “Cameron Payne” seems like an NBA player’s name and more like a porn star name. Think about it… Payne is an evocative last name. I don’t know what kind of porn a hypothetical “Cameron Payne” would star in, but I bet it would involve naked…
Read MoreJerian Grant 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
Yes, I know the boxscore says 6 assists (for now). I make a lot of typos, but now is not one of those times. Against the Pacers, Jerian Grant had 5 real assists and 1 totally made-up fairytale assist that should earn the scorekeeper who recorded it a one-way ticket to the unemployment line. I…
Read MoreNorman Powell 18 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
On a scale of 1-10, how cheeky was Norman Powell’s windmill dunk at the end of the game against the 76ers? 1 being “not cheeky at all, mate” and 10 being “very cheeky, you wanker”. I myself am going with a 6 on this one. It was kind of cheeky. I’m not one of those…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 21 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
The final buzzer sounds. The first game of the season has ended, with the Knicks victorious over the presumably playoff-bound Bucks, 122-97. Kristaps Porzingis looked okay, but the real star was Derrick Williams, who scored 24 points in only 21 minutes. Carmelo didn’t have a great game, but now that the Knicks have other players…
