Tristan Thompson 16 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (12/23/2016)

You’re a Tristan Thompson fan, so I don’t need to tell you this, but I’m going to anyway: all five of Thompson’s dunks in this game sucked except for the last one which could be considered “middling”. Of course, as a fan of Tristan Thompson, you already know this. Your fandom persists, even flourishes, under…

Spencer Dinwiddie 13 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2016)

Given that Spencer Dinwiddie (tall) was matched up against Kay Felder (short) for the entire fourth quarter of a blowout Cavs win, I expect more points than this. Dinwiddie is like a solid 6’6″. That’s halfway to seven feet. Meanwhile, Felder is halfway to being a dwarf from Lord of the Rings, except with a…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 25 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2016)

The Pistons allegedly held a players-only meeting where they all plainly stated their disdain for Reggie Jackson’s style of play. Then after the meeting they all went out and told the media that the grievances were aired with civility and that Reggie Jackson was understanding of, and sensitive to, his teammates’ concerns. DownToBuck knows what…

Shelvin Mack 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2016)

As he showed us last year, Shelvin “The Macksturbator” Mack is actually a decent spot starter in the league. You can put him in and he won’t be a George Hill, but he also won’t be a Raul Neto either. He’ll hit his stupid floaters that every backup point guard relies on, but he can…

Dennis Schröder 27 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2016)

Dennis Schröder was walking by himself towards the court when a voice behind him said coldly, “I know what you wearing underneath your jersey.” Turning around, Dennis saw Jusuf Nurkic standing in a shadowy corner of the corridor. “Yeah. My Under Armour,” he retorted, relieved to find that his voice didn’t waver from nervousness. “Real…

Montrezl Harrell 16 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2016)

Montrezl “Mon-Trezzle” Harrell is another one of that class of centers who shoots 60% or better from the field because they don’t do anything that they can’t do. You can’t count on them to create their own shot under any circumstances, but you CAN count on them to score it if you give it to…

Tobias Harris 26 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2016)

Okay. So Tobias Harris is coming off the bench now. That’s fine. Just bench my special snuggly Tobey Bear, Mr. Van Gundy. No problem. I don’t care. Jon Leuer is totally better than him anyway. I bet it was entirely Tobey Bear’s fault that the Pistons were losing all those games. It wasn’t Reggie Jackson…

Sergio Rodriguez 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2016)

Hollis Thompson and Robert Covington were finishing up their Christmas shopping at a Philadelphia-area mall when a familiar face caught Hollis’ eye. He elbowed his teammate and pointed towards the food court, asking, “is that who I think it is?” Robert peered into the thronged mass of kids, all clutching their parent’s hands so as…
