Serge Ibaka 20 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)

Bruno Caboclo tentatively approached his veteran teammate in the locker room. “Hey Serge. I need advice from you.” Serge smiled warmly at his young, shy teammate. “Of course. It is my duty to guide you through the challenges in your life.” “I’m in the NBA four years now and I still can’t get playing time,”…

Anthony Tolliver 15 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)

I’m not sure what’s wrong with the Pistons. They’ve lost six in a row now after being at 14-6 through the first twenty games. However, I can, with relative accuracy, pinpoint the cause of this loss to the Celtics where the Detoilet Pissed-Ons only scored 81 points: nobody could shoot the damn ball. Anthony “The…

Amir Johnson 16 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)

Amir Johnson is entering his thirteenth year in the league. Is that crazy or what? I don’t know about you, but every time I see how long Amir has been in the league, I’m caught off guard. He was the last player to be drafted straight out of high school so I guess it makes…

Gary Harris 21 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)

QUICK QUIZ QUESTION 1: Was it Gary Harris’ fault that Victor Oladipo scored 47 points in this game? A.) Yes B.) No C.) Somewhat D.) N/A – DownToBuck does not care about defense QUICK QUIZ QUESTION 2: What is DownToBuck’s emotional state when he sees that Gary Harris has scored 21 points on 8/18 shooting…

Jarrett Jack 19 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)

Jarrett Jackoff is back! Last season was a tragedy for him, getting injured only a few games after finally getting signed by the Pelicans midway through the year. I wondered if we’d ever see him again, but here he is, playing for the Knicks and somehow being not the most hated PG on their roster…

Ersan Ilyasova 20 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)

It’s good to see that Ersan Ilyasova still has that stepback three in his repertoire. There aren’t many bigs who are willing to do something like that. That shot drove me crazy when he was on the Bucks, because he could so often shoot it without moving but instead made things harder on himself by…

J.J. Redick 28 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)

I was watching J.J. Redick shoot free throws in this vid, and I got to thinking. That’s something I really like to do. Thinking. What was I thinking about? Glad you asked! I was thinking that it would be really rad to have a J.J. Redick freethrow-ilation for this season. He’s shooting 94% so far,…

Myles Turner 24 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)

Things were looking bad for the Pacers when Myles Turner came back from his injury: four straight losses. Most people who noticed weren’t too worried, but I definitely was. I thought, for sure, 100 percent, that Turner had destroyed the good chemistry that his team had built up without him, that he had come in…

Jrue Holiday 34 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)

Jrue Holiday’s contract is still insane, but if he keeps playing like he has been recently, it won’t be the worst one in the league. The Pelicans remain a big two with Davis and Cousins, but big three categorization is not too far off. 34 points for the second time in four games (typed out…

Ben Simmons 27 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (12/10/2017)

I might have to reinstitute my BEN SIMMONS JUMPER ALERT program. For a while there it seemed like he was hitting one every game, or even more than one, but I’m not really seeing them anymore from him. Where did they go? Obviously, they’re not a good shot for him at this point, but since…
