Jerome Robinson Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2019)

Normally I don’t 100 percent trust black-box analysis where someone throws a bunch of numbers in, magic happens, and rankings or whatever pop out. Presumably that’s how ESPN’s draft analytics models worked when they claimed that Jerome Robinson was more of a late-second round type of player than the type of player who would be…

R.J. Barrett 22 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2019)

Lots of things are going wrong with the Knicks right now, actually pretty much everything is going wrong for them, so to increase positivity among the fanbase, I’ll list some things that are going right. No one wants to hear how their team sucks all the time, especially when they have to watch them suck…

Ben McLemore 20 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2019)

I apologize for this wholly unoriginal thought, but I’m thinking right now that Ben McLemore/Austin Rivers/Chris Clemons as a combined triumvirate is a better fit with James Harden than Russell Westbrook is. My views are not at all tainted by the fact that those three combined for 58 points in this game while Westbrook sat…

Chris Clemons 19 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/16/2019)

The Houston Rockets seem to be a perfect fit for Chris Clemons. In retrospect, we could’ve seen this coming; what better place for a guy who loves nothing more than to shoot tons of shots, than a place where the coach loves to have his players shoot tons of shots? It’s a match made in…

Nickeil Alexander-Walker 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/16/2019)

Nickeil “Hell NAW” Alexander-Walker was, prior to this game, shooting a positively frigid 26 percent from the field. That’s like me, when I’m playing against people who can actually play and not just randoms at the park. I’m sure the issues currently plaguing Alexander-Walker are the same ones I face: the opposition is bigger and…

Norman Powell 26 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2019)

Raptors fans may be excited (at least for Norman Powell’s individual performance, not the actual outcome of the game), but I, DownToBuck, am thoroughly disappointed. Disappointment washes over my entire body, filling every crevice and orifice with its putrid stench. I had this game circled on my calendar, I was counting down the days, and…

Jake Layman 21 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2019)

Timberwolves record when Jake Layman scores in double digits: 5-2 Timberwolves record when Jake Layman scores in single digits: 1-5 The conclusion is clear: the Timberwolves’ success is closely tied to Layman’s success. It cannot possibly be the other way around (where Layman’s success is tied to the Timberwolves’ success). Just don’t even let that…

Devonte’ Graham 29 Points/9 Threes/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (11/16/2019)

Two games, two game-winners in a row for the Charlotte Hornets. The first one by Malik Monk, this one by Devonte’ Graham. The Hornets might not actually be a good team, but they sure know how to get it done in clutch situations this year. I don’t think the Charlotte faithful know how to react;…
