I just read some sad news that Papa John’s is no longer the official pizza of the NFL. Now, you can make an argument that maybe the USA’s biggest sports league doesn’t need on official pizza, but I would make the counterargument that you are a pinko comsymp bastard who hates freedom and bald eagles….
Read MoreShabazz Napier 20 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2018)
Shabazz Napier was coming off an 0-for-10 effort the game before that ranked as one of the worst shooting performances of the year. I actually thought it might be THE worst, but I totally forgot about Stanley Johnson’s season-opening 0-for-13 brickfest. Among others. Still pretty bad for ShabazzleDazzle, but not incomprehensibly bad. If my channel…
Read MoreDario Saric 21 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2018)
Dario “Saricophagus” Saric’s passing ability, however great it is, has fallen by the wayside. Ben Simmons gets to do the passing now. Him and sometimes T.J. McConnell, but mostly Simmons. The team exists to make him and Embiid look good, basically (gotta justify the blatant multi-year tankjob), so that means not as much messing around…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/27/2018)
At what point do we start using the b-word in reference to D’Angelo Russell? He was the second overall pick, and while he is averaging 15 ppg, which is pretty nice, his overall impact is suspect. You want someone a little better when you’re picking that high, I keep seeing revisionist history saying that Kwame…
Read MoreKyle Korver 18 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2018)
There’s likely a way to figure out how many triple-doubles LeBron James would have this season if Kyle Korver wasn’t around. I don’t know what that way would be, and I’m way too lazy to calculate it manually, so I’m going to use my preternatural powers of intuition to estimate the answer: zero. Zero triple-doubles…
Read MoreGeorge Hill 26 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2018)
Cavaliers fans pretended, right after the Cavs traded for him, to care about George Hill. This was, I think, the first time that a fanbase or even anyone at all had cared (or in this case, pretended to care) about him. It didn’t last long. I think Cavs fans hate him now, after his less…
Read MoreIsaiah Taylor 16 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
Last night we saw the much-anticipated head-to-head matchup between two NBA point guards whose first names are Isaiah: Isaiah Taylor of the Hawks and Isaiah Thomas of the Lakers. Who came out ahead in this battle for the ages? DownToBuck will break it down for you and then give you his OFFICIAL FINAL VERDICT OF…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 21 Points/6 Assists/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
Let me remind you that if Brandon Ingram’s last name was actually DeIngram, you could rearrange the letters in DeIngram and come up with the word “midrange”. This is not an accident. When we see Ingram make one of his baby-giraffe-looking pull-up midrange jimbos, it’s happening because he’s supposed to. It’s his role in the…
Read MoreJ.J. Barea 19 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
After Mark Cuban got fined a significant amount of money for straight-up saying that the Mavs have tanked/will be tanking, you know he’s gonna take steps to make it look like he’s not doing the exact thing he said he was doing. And that means winning some games. As much as it hurts the placement…
Read MoreSkal Labissiere 20 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2018)
It was around this time last year that Skal Labissiere started showing us something after getting (unfairly) nailed to the bench for the first three months of his career. Is last year too recent to start looking back on it with nostalgia? I, along with everybody else, was enamored with the idea of a player…
