Imagine the conflicting thoughts that were running through Kirk Hinrich’s head at the time of Derrick Rose’s injury. On one hand, “Man, I hope Derrick’s okay, we need him if we want to make noise in the playoffs.” On the other hand, “I am going to get so many minutes now.” Actually, Kirk was thinking…

Ersan Ilyasova 22 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2013)
DownToBuck normally operates on a pretty tight schedule. Once a day’s games start, no more highlights from the previous day. But every rule has exceptions. Like Ersan Ilyasova. He’s the most important NBA player from my point of view. Concessions will be made to show his highlights. And I must say these are quite impressive,…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 20 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2013)
Are the Jazz trying to turn Kanter into a stretch four or something? He seems to be taking a lot of long jumpers. It’s the cool things for bigs to be able to shoot the ball nowadays, but Kanter’s strength is his back-to-the-basket game. I want to see some devastating spin moves in the post….
Read MoreKyle Korver 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/4/2013)
I’m so mad at Kyle Korver right now. So I was sitting at home making these highlights while my girlfriend is in the same room watching TV. She doesn’t even like basketball so she usually doesn’t pay attention to my labors. It’s funny, she would actually rather watch made-up stories about made-up people on some…
Read MoreAnderson Varejao 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/4/2013)
Dear LeBron, I hope this letter finds you well. I probably don’t need to hope, though, as things seem to be going swell for you down there in Miami. I’m very happy for your multitude of successes! Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade seem like great teammates. You may already know the reason for my correspondence,…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 22 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2013)
If you listen to the commentators in this highlights (I don’t listen to them except for making these things), you will notice one of them saying something to the effect of “You can just forget about the first 14 games of the season, because we didn’t have a point guard”. There is a guy who…
Read MoreJordan Crawford 25 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/3/2013)
Has Jordan Crawford finally turned the corner? There was a period of time when he was one of the worst players in the league, but this year…he might actually be above average. All the difficult, ill-advised shots he takes are going in this year. As much as I would enjoy tearing him a new one,…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 23 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2013)
Someone needs to tell Michael Beasley that his journey to redemption won’t be complete until he grows back that awesome fro. It’s like I’m watching a whole different player, except that he still takes the same dumb shots he always has. I’m not entirely convinced that Beasley’s shooting won’t regress back to his mean. But…
Read MoreIsaiah Thomas 24 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2013)
Isaiah Thomas looked up to the giants towering over him in fear. They were talking about him. “I wonder where Isaiah got off to?” asked giant-DeMarcus to his giant teammates. “He’ll probably want to join us for our night on the town.” Giant-Greivis laughed derisively. “That little midget? Who would want to be seen with…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 14 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2013)
Am I the only one who thinks it would be totally rad for the Thunder arena people to play “Mary had a Little Lamb” every time Jeremy Lamb makes a shot? I am? Screw you guys then, I will maintain until my dying breath that that is an awesome idea. I mean, the Portland dudes…
