Through five games of the season, Richaun Holmes is probably the Kings’ best performer. That’s not a good thing, because he’s just a random role-player big with a super limited game, and he’s actually only been good in 2 out of the 5 contests. He backed his way into this accolade, as pretty much all…

Glenn Robinson 17 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2019)
I know you’re out there, Warriors fans. You haven’t hopped off the bandwagon yet, have you? Maybe you didn’t want to watch the vid of Eric Paschall scoring 20, maybe you don’t ever want to watch another second of Warriors basketball ever again, but oh look, what do we have here? It’s Glenn “Big Shot…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 17 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2019)
A lot has been made of the 76ers “supposed” (I put the word “supposed” in quotes to indicate my doubt) lack of shooting. But here’s the deal: if you don’t look very closely, Furkan Korkmaz looks enough like J.J. Redick to be a passable imitation. The 76ers can use that to their advantage. Redick may…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (10/30/2019)
I’m tired of all the negativity surrounding Terry Rozier spewed forth by puking internet commentators. I’m just tired of it, okay? In an effort to combat the anti-Rozier propaganda that floods social media daily due to the actions of Russian bots and butthurt Celtics trolls, I have compiled a list of positive things about Rozier….
Read MoreMalik Monk 18 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2019)
The Hornets are tanking this year, right? They’re 2-3 as of right now, but their point differential is in the toilet and I don’t see it getting better any time soon. Since we’re in agreement that the Hornets are done competing for the eighth seed, then there seems to be no reason that Malik Monk…
Read MoreTristan Thompson 23 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (10/30/2019)
Last night, Tristan Thompson made eleven field goals. Only twice in his career has he made more than that, once in 2012 and once in 2014. He also attempted nineteen field goals, which is a career high. For a guy who’s not known as a scorer, he sure was doing it a lot in this…
Read MoreNorman Powell 19 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2019)
The Raptors commentators were making some veiled (okay, not-so-veiled) references to Norman Powell’s scoring woes so far this season, so I decided to check out the trusty basketball-reference (without the services of which I would just be guessing at stats) to see exactly how Powell has been performing this season. Let nobody say that DownToBuck…
Read MoreJaMychal Green 23 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2019)
The Clippers lost this game basically because Paul George is still out and Kawhi Leonard was off in some fancy medical facility somewhere getting his load managed. Their lineup was then reduced to Lou Williams + Montrezl Harrell (which is supposed to be an off-the-bench tandem) and a bunch of role-players. One of those role-players…
Read MoreEric Paschall 20 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2019)
Not to rub it in to Warriors fans, who are having a rough time of it right now, but I want to share a little tidbit of information with them: It is currently snowing where I am, and it is not currently snowing where you are. Of course, I am making the bold/wildly incorrect assumption…
Read MoreAron Baynes 24 Points/7 Assists/3 Blocks Full Highlights (10/30/2019)
DownToBuck is a man of class. As such, he takes actions on his YouTube channel befitting his status. So you must forgive for him not putting the full title of this video where unattended minors could see it. Instead, he hides it away, not even allowing it to appear in the description preview that YouTube…
