Darius Miller Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2014)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player work harder for points than D-Mill does in this game. Poor little Darren Collison was matched up on the larger Miller for most of the night, and Miller took this as a cue to harass him at every turn with his tight handles and wet jumper. Layups?…

Gorgui Dieng 15 Points/15 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/26/2014)

“Wait up, Nikola!” Gorgui yelled, running after the lumbering, hulking Montenegrin. He tried to remember the advice that Corey Brewer had given him. What was it he had said? Something about not talking enough smack, being too kind. “Hey, Gorgui, what up?” Nikola asked, turning around to face his teammate. “You want go slam some…

Anthony Morrow 27 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2014)

Tickets are now on sale for my next seminar, which is entitled “Anthony Morrow: The Best Role-Player Ever?” At this talk, I will lay out my argument for Anthony Morrow being better than any current or past role-player in terms of playing his role. Some guy on YouTube called DownToBuck (that’s me!) has made some…

Matthew Dellavedova Career High 21 Points/6 Assists/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/26/2014)

“Haha I win again! Man Delly, you suck at NBA Jam!” “Shut up Dion you know I only have one good controller. As the good host that I am I graciously let you use it. The buttons on the one I’m using are all sludgy and horrible.” “Always with the excuses. Damn, all this ass-kicking…

Mirza Teletovic 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/26/2014)

I really thought Mirza Teletovic had turned a corner with that 34 point game he had a while back. I was mistaken. His minutes, and thus his scoring, are as inconsistent as ever. There must be some fatal flaw to his game, that I’m not seeing, which causes his lack of playing time. Could it…

Tim Hardaway Jr. 17 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2014)

For a team that still has playoff aspirations, the Knicks didn’t show much in their blowout loss to the Lakers last night. Where’s the urgency? Do they suck because they ‘don’t know how to win’? Does the other team ‘want it more than them’? It baffles me that sports pundits and commentators still use phrases…

Xavier Henry 22 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (3/25/2014)

The mood in the locker room was jubilant. Coming off a huge win over the Knicks, all the members of the Lakers squad were celebrating. Somebody had gotten some champagne from somewhere, and it was being sprayed everywhere as if they had just won a championship. “And then when Xavier got his own missed free…

Robin Lopez 20 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2014)

Why don’t you guys like Robin Lopez? Is it because he looks like that guy from The Simpsons? Because that’s a stupid reason to dislike somebody. Really, I expected more from you. Cartoonish hair aside, Lopez has been an unheralded component of the Blazers’ success this year. He’s the perfect center for a team with…

Tobias Harris 25 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2015)

What was once one of the most heralded drafts of all time has turned into a whole bunch of question marks. This isn’t good news for the teams at the bottom of the standings and top of the draft, like the Magic. There used to be a bunch of sure-fire prospects. Now there’s nothing but…

Giannis Antetokounmpo 9 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (3/24/2014)

The Bucks’ season has been a dismal failure (or grand success, depending on who they draft). That is widely known. But for those who have been watching closely, there is an undiscovered joy waiting to happen every game. What could possibly bring a smile to the face of hardened and crotchety Bucks fans everywhere? That…
