“Hey man, great game tonight, too bad about the loss, huh?” Wilson Chandler wandered over to Danilo Gallinari’s locker. Danilo looked up, startled, as he hurriedly packed up his stuff. “What? Oh, yeah. I was really feeling it, and the guys kept finding me. I Liked the way they played tonight, lots of hustle, it…

Beno Udrih 20 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
This is a very Beno Udrih-esque performance by Beno Udrih. He has done one thing well since entering the league: hit midrange leaning-forward jumpers. His range can extend to the three-point line, but he really prefers to do his damage in the normally-least-efficient section of the court. I was hoping that he wouldn’t hit a…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 19 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
Normally, when a player is a horrible shooter, percentage wise, he gets called out on it by every possible source. His team’s fans, other team’s fans, the general NBA punditry (I include myself in this category), fans from his college days, his mom, everybody. So why is Marcus Smart not receiving any flak for shooting…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
I’m sure you guys all like Bojan Bogdanovic just fine. Maybe even more than that, given that you’re all either Croatians or Croatian sympathizers. Every time he has a good game, you think about all the residual glory he is spreading to your section of Europe, and thus to yourselves. But I’m tired of him,…
Read MoreTroy Daniels 15 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2015)
DownToBuck: worst talent evaluator ever? If you’ve read even five or ten of my descriptions, you have probably asked the above question, and answered with a resounding “Yes!”. It is true; I pretty much have no idea what I’m talking about, and that’s when I don’t run the self-coded scripts that auto-generate descriptions. A glaring…
Read MoreC.J. McCollum 17 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2015)
C.J. McCollum’s good performance is this game might as well have not even happened, as it was completely overshadowed by Steph Curry scoring 45 and breaking his own record for made threes in a season. But what if I told you that McCollum was Curry-lite? Stay with me on this. McCollum shoots threes really well….
Read MoreRobert Covington Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2015)
Looking into Robert Covington’s forehead wrinkles is akin to gazing into the black ocean of the stars, each ridge of his skin a wave of cosmic truth. What insight can we gain? I feel on the cusp of incredible knowledge, locked away inside the wrinkles. Give me strength on this journey to enlightenment.
Read MoreMichael Carter-Williams 30 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (4/8/2015)
Someone please get Michael Carter-Williams a good shooting coach over the offseason. Please. I don’t want to be forced to endure his out-of-control heaves for any longer than I already have. He doesn’t have any touch at all on his J. An unintentional banked jumper should happen at most once a year for an NBA…
Read MoreGerald Green 30 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/8/2015)
Take notes, Jeff Hornacek. This is what happens when you give Gerald Green minutes. He gets you buckets. If he’s sitting on the bench, barely playing, what does he give you? Nothing. He doesn’t have intangibles, he’s not a veteran presence or anything. He does one thing only: shoots and scores basketballs. It’s a simple…
Read MoreRyan Kelly 17 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2015)
I haven’t been paying much attention to Ryan Kelly this year. That must have been some kind of instinctual self-defense mechanism, because he has been more garbagey than a landfill this season. Anybody who was intently watching his actions on the court would come away from the experience exhausted, disgusted, and questioning the existence of…
