I really thought that Steve Novak would play a nice role for the Jazz this year. I’m not even being funny or sarcastic or anything. I honestly thought that the skill that he brings to the table (you should know what it is, if not, refer to the video title) would earn him minutes on…
Read MoreEd Davis 16 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2015)
When will Ed Davis get 30 minutes per game? Will it ever happen? He’s shown himself to be extremely effective in 20 MPG or less, but a quick look at his gamelog indicates that he can also be a beast when playing a bigger role in the game. His problem is that he isn’t a…
Read MoreJoakim Noah 18 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2015)
Showering after the win, Joakim Noah enjoyed the feeling of the hot water on his sore body. His uncontrollably curly hair, weighed down by the water, clung to his shoulders. Having such a large volume of hair was a nuisance sometimes, like when it was time to wash it, but other times, it was no…
Read MoreC.J. Watson 22 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/8/2015)
I find myself struggling to get excited about C.J. Watson. A sort of drear melancholy overcomes me whenever I think about him, and when I actually sit down to edit his highlight videos, the melancholy turns into dread. Only one of my five Watson videos has over 1,000 views. I don’t personally find him an…
Read MoreC.J. Wilcox 10 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2015)
I have not gotten far in my quest to accumulate intelligence on CJ Wilcox. I’ve gotten to the point (but no further) where I now realize that he is not the awful Chris Wilcox, who really sucked. Despite my newfound clarity on the state of Wilcoxes in the NBA, CJ remains at a disadvantage. He…
Read MoreJames Johnson 20 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2015)
It’s been noted by tons of people before me, but I’ll say it again: If James Johnson wasn’t so crazy he would be almost like LeBron. Just look at some of the drives he had against the Spurs tonight. Those were Bron-esque. He has the power, and he has lots of the same skills, just…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 18 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2015)
Andrew Wiggins napped on the living-room couch in his Minneapolis condo. The rigors of an NBA season were more than he had expected, and a significant amount of his free time was spent sleeping. He was adventuring deep in the world of dreams when a real-word ringing noise awakened him. Wiggins turned over and sighed….
Read MoreNikola Pekovic 29 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2015)
With the return of Nikola “Nimble Feet” Pekovic and Ricky Rubio, the Timberpups are finally starting to resemble the team I thought they could be at the beginning of the season. They might not win many games, but they were going to be exciting to watch. Except when Anthony Bennett comes in the game. Then…
Read MoreHollis Thompson 18 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2015)
Hollis “Alcohollis” Thompson was in a prolonged slumpy-wumpy for the whole first half of the season. After a promising rookie campaign where he alone managed to emerge from the stinking tar pits of the 76ers organization, his shooting regressed and his role was diminished in favor of other players. DownToBuck decrees: Thompson’s long nightmare of…
Read MoreShane Larkin 11 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (2/7/2015)
It is well-known that Amar’e Stoudemire is now taking red wine baths to cure the variety of ills that menace his worn-down body. Maybe it works, or maybe there’s some “therapist” somewhere who is making mad bank selling this “treatment” to superstitious rich people. Whatever the case may be, I have devised a special “bath”…
