The Warriors need to trade Harrison Barnes. They are trying to be a contender, if not this year, then the next, and they don’t have enough minutes to donate towards his development. They should be targeting high-quality backups at the PF and C positions. A backup bigman rotation of Marreese Speights, Draymond Green, Jermaine O’Neal,…

Gerald Green 25 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)
Gerald Green clambered up to the top of the bookcase. It was easy, even as a three-year-old, since the couch provided a convenient intermediate platform from which to climb even higher. His plan, so far, had executed without hitch; his mom was washing dishes in the kitchen, his dad too busy with the newspaper to…
Read MorePatty Mills 32 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)
Patty Mills sat behind the wheel of his rented SUV, parked inconspicuously in the parking lot of a strip mall in Lubbock, Texas. Astros cap on his head and sunglasses obscuring his eyes, he read the local paper with amusement. “BED BATH & BEYOND BANDIT STRIKES AGAIN!” Beneath this urgent, front-page headline was a picture…
Read MoreC.J. McCollum Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)
Be honest. How many of you get CJ McCollum and Ray McCallum confused? Because before I made these highlights they were basically the same player in my mind. Don’t lie. DownToBuck knows when you are lying. Unless you are a Blazers or Kings fan it’s unlikely that you’ve seen either play at all. I watch…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad Career High 12 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)
Anthony Bennett sucking at a historic level has deflected a lot of criticism from a bunch of under-performing rookies. Take Shabazz Muhammad. He hasn’t done anything this year; as the 14th pick, you would expect at least a little something. But I haven’t heard a peep regarding the Wolves wasting their pick. This is surprising….
Read MoreAnthony Davis 26 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2014)
I’ve watched a lot of Anthony Davis free throws throughout the course of my highlight making. So as you consider what I say, know that I am the voice of experience. There is no funnier camera angle/NBA player combination than that baseline shot of Anthony Davis as he gets ready to shoot his throws. His…
Read MoreChris Kaman 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/7/2014)
Did you know that Chris Kaman was misdiagnosed with ADHD at the age of two? The medication he was given damaged his basketball career all through high school. It just goes to show that not every behavioral problem needs to be attributed to a brain disorder. But a much more grievous misdiagnosis occurred later in…
Read MoreAmar’e Stoudemire 17 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2014)
Amar’e Stoudemire still has it! If you watch this video you will see it all: dunks, jumpers, and a layup. The component parts of Stoudemire’s game which served him so well in Phoenix. The dunks may not be as high-flying or as powerful, but the jumpers look pretty much the same. If you mess with…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 26 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (2/7/2013)
Serge Ibaka has a lot of nicknames, but all of them are really stupid. Any person who utters the phrase “Serge Iblocka” is pretty much announcing to the world “I have no creativity or passion for life.” But it’s going to be okay, friends, because I have a new nickname for Ibaka that will knock…
Read MoreDion Waiters 24 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2014)
If you want to understand why Dion Waiters isn’t a good player, this would be a good video to watch. He is just so confident in his jumper that he will take it no matter what the situation is, with no effort to get a better shot for himself or his teammates. This game it…
