Wow, these highlights turned out really short. “Of course they did, DownToBuck, Travis only had 9 points!”. I know that. Do you think I didn’t know that going in? I was banking on the 2 assists that he had to puff up the length to maybe a minute or so. As it turns out, those…

Henry Sims 22 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2014)
Does anyone know the address of the 76ers play-by-play guy? He sounded really down tonight after Philly lost again. Like, really down. Super morose. The way he said that Henry Sims was only two points off his career high was unsettling. The “I don’t know if I want to wake up tomorrow” kind of unsettling….
Read MoreAron Baynes 10 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/24/2014)
Aron “Baynes Bus” Baynes dunked it twice in this video, but you would hardly know that he did, because the Spurs video crew failed to show a replay of either one. I think their priorities might be a little messed up over there. When an Australian guy dunks it, you know that the Australians are…
Read MoreLance Stephenson 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/23/2014)
“Dear LeBron, I hope that this letter finds you in good spirits. I know both of our new teams are struggling at the moment, but what’s life without a little adversity? I know you don’t consider me a friend, and I certainly feel the same way, so you may wonder why this letter arrived in…
Read MoreRobert Sacre 13 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2014)
After being single-handedly responsible for the Mavericks scoring seven points in five seconds, I had come up with a new nickname for Robert Sacre. Wait for it… Robert Suckre. Please hold your applause. While that may have been a relevant nickname at the time, circumstances outside of my control have caused it to become obsolete…
Read MoreChris Kaman 16 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2014)
Older (and newer) basketball fans often bemoan the lack of post-play in the modern NBA. Then, they turn around and criticize the few players who do attempt post moves, player like Al Jefferson and Chris Kaman, for being too inefficient. Well, duh, of course they’re inefficient! That’s the whole point. Going one-on-one against someone, with…
Read MoreMarreese Speights 28 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2014)
The lexicon of basketball is ever-growing. From early entries like “layup” to recent neologisms like “3 and D guy”, the vocabulary of the game is both a look into the past and a snapshot of the present. Humbly, I’d like to present my own term for inclusion into the Dictionary of Ball: “Speightsing” This daring…
Read MoreBrandon Knight 26 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/22/2014)
Brandon Knight is a polarizing character in basketball circles. Is he as good as his numbers indicate, or is he as bad as his on-court play appears to the human eye? That sounds like a hard question that I don’t really feel like answering right now, so I’m just going to post Piston fan reactions…
Read MoreDanny Green 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/22/2014)
Danny “Greenger” Green is pretty much the ultimate role-player. He’s getting paid just four million bucks (“just”), a small amount for an elite floor-spacer. Any team would want him. I want him. Not just for the Bucks, I want him to live with me and he can teach me how to shoot threes. We could…
Read MoreBrandan Wright 12 Points/4 Dunks/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/22/2014)
Brandan Wright reclined lazily on his golden throne, a throne which rose above everything else in the hall. It glowed with an inner light, lending Brandan a halo that made him look almost angelic. A jewel-studded crown was perched on his head, and in his hand, he wielded a scepter on top of which was…
