Bobby “God Dang It Bobby” Portis has been a nice pickup for the ‘Zards. I don’t know what the point of a good pickup would be for that team right now, since they should be tanking for R.J. Barrett, but if their short-term and misguided goal is to make the playoffs (a goal which is…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 27 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
Trevor Ariza takes a lot of threes; he’s jacking them up at a career-high clip for the ‘Zards. But this is the first game this season where he makes a lot of threes. 6 being the cutoff for “a lot” from “not a lot”. I briefly wondered if this was a career-high in makes from…
Read MoreKeita Bates-Diop 12 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
I don’t know anything about Keita Bates-Diop except that I seem to remember him being considered a steal in the second round of the draft for the Timberwolves. My knowledge of the draft, aside from the top 10 or so guys, is based entirely on what the good people at ESPN tell me during their…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 18 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
One of the deals when you sign up to play with the Bucks this year is that you are not going to score the amount of points you would on another, less talented team. I don’t think there’s a player on the roster, besides Giannis Antetokounmpo (and maybe not even him), who is utilizing their…
Read MoreJohnathan Williams 18 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
I could copy and paste my last description for Moritz Wagner and it would still work perfectly for Johnathan Williams, except in Williams’ case the blowhard ESPN announcers did notice what he was doing on the court and acknowledge it more than a handful of times. A TL;DR: Lakers screwed this season up, didn’t play…
Read MoreMoritz Wagner 22 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
Moritz “Puttin’ on the ‘Ritz” Wagner and Johnathan Williams tonight: 40 points, 16 rebounds combined. JaVale McGee and Tyson Chandler tonight: 8 points, 5 rebounds combined. Mike Muscala tonight: 0 points, 0 rebounds. Ivica Zubac tonight: thanking god that he got the heck out of a Lakers situation where he obviously wasn’t wanted. I’m not…
Read MoreSeth Curry 22 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
For those of you who don’t know, I spent literally hours of every day writing down nickname ideas for NBA players in this notebook I have. The picture you have in your mind of a skinny dude staring at his desk and occasionally writing something furiously in a notebook and then just as furiously scribbling…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 25 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
Lately, when Brook Lopez has been having good games, it’s because he’s perfectly filling the stretch-five role the Bucks want him to play. He takes a lot of threes, he hits a good percentage of them, and nobody is surprised by it anymore because that’s who Blopez is now. That’s not what he did this…
Read MoreTrae Young Triple Double 23 Pts/10 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
From a pure field-goals-made perspective (the only perspective that I am capable of coming from), this Trae Young highlight video is not worth your time. Despite scoring 23 points and getting a triple-double (surprisingly, the first of his career), he only made four field goals out of fourteen attempts. Since made field goals comprise 90%…
Read MoreRodions Kurucs 16 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
I am making a decent amount of money through my new Patreon page ( https://www.patreon.com/downtobuck – donating even one dollar a month will fill my cold heart with an emotion that roughly resembles happiness), but it’s still not enough to fund my lavish lifestyle of Hot Pockets, PopTarts, and extremely high-end computer equipment to facilitate…
