Shabazz Napier was coming off an 0-for-10 effort the game before that ranked as one of the worst shooting performances of the year. I actually thought it might be THE worst, but I totally forgot about Stanley Johnson’s season-opening 0-for-13 brickfest. Among others. Still pretty bad for ShabazzleDazzle, but not incomprehensibly bad.
If my channel was exactly reversed and I did vids based on misses instead of makes, it would’ve been one of my favorite vids of the year, let’s put it that way. If DownToBuck the third has to come into being on YouTube, maybe that’s what I’ll do, as a form of protest.
Anyway, Napier seemed to shake it off quickly enough, because he just scored 20 on 6-for-7 shooting. Damian Lillard is stealing all the headlines in Portland right now, and for good reason, but maybe we can spare one for Napier tonight? No?
