How is Nicolas Batum only 27 years old? I feel like he’s been in the league for forever. Is he pulling an Ersan/Yi/Serge/Thon where he’s older than he claims, but instead of doing the age-changing before he got into the league he just subtracted three from his years when he got traded to the Hornets?…

Alan Williams Career High 15 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)
DownToBuck’s ghetto fast-food lifehack of the day: go to McDonalds and order a McDouble (or two, one really isn’t enough) with no ketchup, then ask for Big Mac sauce on the side. Bam! Ghetto Big Mac on the cheap. It tastes about the same, you don’t pay the huge markup for the middle bun, and…

At around the 0:25 mark of this video you can hear some weird audial artifact. At first you would think that was just an encoding error or some other technical glitch, but when you run an analysis on the odd scratching/warping noise, it quickly becomes clear that the glitch is not human in origin. It…

I’m not even going to talk about how the Bucks gave up a 25-2 run at the end of their game against the Heat. That topic will officially not be brought up in any capacity whatsoever once this sentence ends. There. We’re not talking about it anymore. Okay? Instead, I will talk about how good…

Read MoreBrandon Jennings 17 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/17/2016)
Remember, back when Brandon Jennings was on the Bucks, that he would torch the Knicks every chance he got, because he was mad they didn’t draft him? Good times, my friend, good times. The Knicks had drafted Jordan Hill instead. Whoops! I can see why Jennings would be mad. You could even argue that Jennings…
Read MoreMike Muscala 16 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2016)
Mike “Muscy Stench” Muscala is playing well right now as the primary backup to the Dwightmare in Atlanta. He basically does the things that Dwight can’t do, namely shoot from anywhere outside the paint. He’s been quietly putting up good games on a regular basis, but I just looked up the stats right now and…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 15 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2016)
Good news for Nik “Sucksass” Stauskas fans: he’s actually shooting well from the field so far this year, which means he theoretically might have a little bit of a future in the league maybe. However, his assist/turnover ratio is in the negatives right now, and it’s hampering my ability to use my newly created nickname…

Read MoreJ.J. Redick 29 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/16/2016)
The Grizzlies weren’t really supposed to beat the Clippers. The Clippers are good. The Grizzlies are bad (although, theoretically, they’re okay if everybody’s healthy). Maybe the Grizzlies played harder because of the alleged “rivalry” between the two teams. Who knows. All I know is, J.J. Redick essentially went bonkers in the second half and for…
