There were probably people (not me, because I didn’t think about this game at all before it happened) who were thinking that Bruce Brown would “lock down” Kyrie Irving in this one. Brown has the reputation of being a good defender, Irving has the reputation of being crazy, I bet Pistons fans on the whole…

Tomas Satoransky 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
DownToBuck ate some funny shrimp for lunch and isn’t feeling too well right now, so he’s going to phone in this description by utilizing the tried-and-true “power ranking” format. If the low-effort nature of this video description bothers you, I direct you to the description for tonight’s Shabazz Napier triple-double, which had a very high-effort…
Read MoreCedi Osman 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
After watching Cedi Osman lay the ball up rather than dunk it on a give-and-go play with Kevin Love, it occurred to me that I can’t remember ever seeing Osman dunk the ball. He gets a lot of layups, but never any dunks. Upon doing a YouTube search for “Cedi Osman Dunk”, some of the…
Read MoreShabazz Napier Triple Double 10 Pts/10 Rebs/13 Asts Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
Shabazz Napier opened his eyes, and when he saw what was waiting for him beyond his newly-opened eyelids, his immediate thought was that his physical safety was in danger. He was sitting by himself in the booth of a ratty, dirty fast-food restaurant. Wherever it was, it was not in a good part of the…
Read MoreSeth Curry 19 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
Seth Curry has now scored 466 points through 43 games. If he continues at that pace, he should score roughly 889 points for the season (assuming that he has 39 games left to play – I’m not going to check that math because I’m lazy). Meanwhile, the so-called “superior” brother, Steph Curry, has just 81…
Read MoreDarius Bazley 15 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
After Darius Bazley scored eighteen points near the start of the season, I undertook the ritual that would cosmically transfer the “Bazed God” nickname from Kent Bazemore to Darius Bazley. However, Bazley completely failed to live up to the “Bazed God” nickname in the subsequent months, so I reversed the ritual and re-assigned the nickname…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 20 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
Since the arrival of Kyrie Irving on the Nets has drastically reduced the funness of the entire Brooklyn Nets team, I was thinking about ways they could increase their funness while not having to make any moves that blatantly trade away talented players (like Irving). Moving Spencer Dinwiddie to the bench was a step in…
Read MoreSviatoslav Mykhailiuk 19 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk has been the starter for the Pistons ever since Luke Kennard went out with some kind of injury (my guess is that he’s off in Europe undergoing an experimental new type of hairline restoration surgery that’s not approved for American patients yet). However, it was only recently that Mykhailiuk started PLAYING like an…
