I was just talking about how Domantas Sabonis needs to start taking more threes, but Quincy Acy has the opposite problem: he takes too many threes. Way too many. Before tonight, he had made a grand total of SIX two-point shots over 400 minutes of gametime. That’s mindblowing, to me. You’re a forward! Haul your…

Domantas Sabonis 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/17/2017)
Domantas Sabonis isn’t getting the same bountiful opportunities he was getting while Myles Turner was injured. We could’ve expected the resulting minutes reduction when Turner came back, but it still sucks. Turner’s great, but Sabonis just has that NBA pedigree that makes him a more tantalizing option. If he wants to regain some of his…
Read MoreReggie Bullock Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2017)
Reggie Bullock double-digit scoring games in the first 26 games of the season: 0. Reggie Bullock double-digit scoring games in the last 3 games of the season: 3. DownToBuck double-digit scoring games ever: 0. As you can see from the above statistical information units, Reggie “Ock and Bull Torture” Bullock clearly has both surpassed his…
Read MoreMario Hezonja Career High 28 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (12/17/2017)
Mario Hezonja adjusted his sunglasses as he emerged from his car. It occurred to him that it might have been better to plan this operation to occur during the nighttime, but it was too late to back out now. It also occurred to him that, if he expected to sneak into his target’s house undetected,…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/17/2017)
Bogdan Bogdanovic is making a concerted effort to take the title of “Best Bogdanovic” from Bojan Bogdanovic, his latest effort being an 18-point, 5-assist performance that impressed me with its solidity. He would have had even more assists, but his teammates kinda suck at putting the ball in the basket. Meanwhile, Bojan Bogdanovic, Mr. Soon-to-be-inferior,…
Read MoreNene 16 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/16/2017)
It doesn’t even matter that all of Brazil hates Nene for skipping out on his alleged “duty” to play for the national team. He’s the one who placed more importance on health than nationalism, and now he’s looking quick and springy at the grand old age of 35. Nene took good care of his body,…
Read MoreMontrezl Harrell 15 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/16/2017)
I just love it when a big dude uses his mass to overpower another big dude in the post. If you watch this video (rather than just reading the description and then leaving, I know you degenerates are out there), you can observe how Montrezl “Mon-Trezzle” Harrell does exactly that against Jordan Mickey. It’s not…
Read MoreYogi Ferrell 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/16/2017)
Yogi Ferrell probably isn’t a starter in this league, but it’s nice to see him play well and secure his spot in the league after being undrafted. At this point, he’s a better player than Dennis Smith Jr., so while DSJ deals with whatever injury it is that he has (it better have been dunk-induced),…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/16/2017)
Even if Nic “The Lisieux Laser” Batum hadn’t come right out and said “my injury is affecting the way I play”, most close observers of the Hornets could easily tell that something is wrong with him. He’s normally been an effective shooter who simply had fallen prey to bad shot selection, but now his percentages…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 14 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2017)
Dillon Brooks was a second-round pick who came in and did enough of the right things that he’s been awarded the starting shooting guard job (unless Tyreke Evans is the SG, in which case Brooks has been awarded the starting small forward job). That’s the good news. The bad news is that there are few…
