Myles Turner 22 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

It’s hard for me not to get hyped when I see a big man make this many jumpers. Myles Turner doesn’t just make one or two jumpers per game; his whole offensive repertoire seems to consist of jumpshots in every conceivable form. Basketball-reference says he’s shooting 60% from the long midrange area, which, if true,…

J.J. Redick 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

The Kings managed to make their game against the Clippers into a contest after it was looking like a serious blowout early in the game. The reason? J.J. Redick was neutralized after his 22-point first half. Now, I don’t actually know who did the neutralizing. That would involve watching the game, which I don’t have…

Ty Lawson 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

Ty Lawson stumbled through the door of the liquor store. It was two in the morning, and he had already consumed the purchases he had made at the same store not five hours prior. Unsteady on his feet, he gripped the shelves to make sure that he stayed upright; falling down due to drunkenness was…

Nick Young 22 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

Zach Lowe made some waves recently by stating that Nick Young is playing defense this year, which is apparently surprising because he apparently hasn’t played defense at any point in his career. I wouldn’t know. DownToBuck does not care about defense. Still, I’m going to challenge Zach on this. How on earth did he figure…

Anthony Bennett 12 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

I just want Anthony Bennett to succeed at this point. Success is relative for him; he will never live up to the expectations of being the first overall pick. Just seeing him stick on a team, providing useful minutes off the bench on a consistent basis would be enough. He showed some stuff in Minnesota…

Terry Rozier 11 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

Ah yes, the fabled “career-high in career-highs”. An achievement only, uh, achieved, by the greatest players, or players playing in their first career game. Terry Rozier is one of those great players, having debuted in the NBA long before this. Full disclosure: this actually ties both his career-highs in assists and points, not setting either…

Emmanuel Mudiay 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

How wild would it have been if that final shot by Emmanuel Mudiay had dropped? I don’t think the world could handle an and-one three-quarter-court shot to tie the game with 6 seconds left. Would Raptors fans hate Norman Powell as much as they hated John Salmons? That may not be possible, but it would…

Jrue Holiday 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

I’m not much for conspiracy theories. A bunch of un-factchecked nonsense supported by believers who mindlessly gulp down any swill that is forced down their throats. A product of a strange new era of media consumption. But some things are just too coincidental. Jrue Holiday comes back after a host of injury and family issues,…

Cody Zeller Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

Wow, I was about to rag on the Hornets for picking Cody Zeller (whose career high is only 23 points apparently) 4th overall, but I somehow had forgotten how absolutely garbage that draft was. My bad. Not every team drafted a Giannis that year. Whoops. Sorry about that. Zeller hasn’t been an amazing stat-stuffing type…

Nicolas Batum 24 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

How is Nicolas Batum only 27 years old? I feel like he’s been in the league for forever. Is he pulling an Ersan/Yi/Serge/Thon where he’s older than he claims, but instead of doing the age-changing before he got into the league he just subtracted three from his years when he got traded to the Hornets?…
