Nikola Jokic is slowly making everyone else on the Nuggets irrelevant. After only a few games with Denver, he took away the “Euro That No Nuggets Fan Had Ever Heard of Until He Signed With the Team but Then Turned Out to Be Pretty Good” title from Jusuf Nurkic. Not satisfied with that, he then…

“Do you maybe want to open the present I got for you, Karl?” Karl-Anthony Towns stared dourly at the carefully-wrapped gift that a widely grinning Ricky Rubio held in his hands. He considered his words carefully before responding. “Before we get too hasty with the gift unwrapping, I need to just make sure of one…

Read MoreShaun Livingston 16 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2015)
DownToBuck sits happily in front of the TV, eager to partake in the season’s most beloved tradition: watching five NBA games back-to-back while drinking eggnog and eating treats. Pulling his velvety Bucks throw blanket over him, there is nothing than can pierce through his joy. An entire plate of impeccably-frosted cookies is consumed before the…
Read MoreAndre Roberson Career High 15 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/23/2015)
Andre Roberson is what some among us call a “defensive specialist”. Which means that it’s not surprising that the 15 points he scored against the Lakers represent a high-water mark for his career. Looking at his usual scoring output, this is a veritable scoring bonanza. Just by way of comparison, you should be as hyped…
Read MoreGarrett Temple 20 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2015)
This is the third straight twenty-point game for one Garrett Temple, who, prior to this streak, had never scored twenty points in the NBA except during shootaround. Are we sure that Temple hasn’t stolen the basketball talents of teammate Otto Porter ala the Monstars? Think about it. It makes sense. When was the last time…
Read MoreJabari Parker 16 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/23/2015)
Why can’t the Bucks play the 76ers all the time? I’m serious right now. There’s nothing in the rule book that says the league can’t schedule the full 82-game slate to be played between two teams and only those two teams. It’s not illegal as far as I know. The only thing that’s stopping this…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2015)
“Khris, you gotta go with me to smoothie store in mall, it’s so good,” Giannis said excitedly. “My head almost blow up when I tasted for the first time.” Khris Middleton looked amused at Giannis’ childlike enthusiasm. “I don’t know, man. Are they better than the ones I make at home?” Giannis’ eyes nearly flew…
Read MoreAndre Drummond 25 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2015)
In the category of “this could be a record”, Andre Drummond took eighteen free throws last night, and none of them were the result of shooting fouls. One set was from a personal foul, one set was from an “inbounds” foul (what do these weird terms mean anyway? idk) and seven sets were from personal…
Read MoreRonnie Price Career High 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/23/2015)
When Ronnie Price was having some good games last year for the Lakers I was like “Nuh-uh. He’s dead. He’s been dead for a long time and zombies can’t play basketball.” Then the season ended and I breathed a sigh of relief, because I knew that it was almost certainly the last season in the…
