Who’s the better passing big, Blake Griffin or Mason Plumlee? ASSISTS: Plumlee had seven. Griffin had four. Seven is more than four according to the rules of math. PUNCHING PEOPLE: Griffin punches people all the time. He can’t go more than a few minutes without slamming his fist into somebody’s head. Mason Plumlee is a…
Read MoreAl Jefferson 25 Points Full Highlights (4/20/2016)
New plan for the Hornets in game 3: just throw the ball to Al Jefferson in the post and see how many times he can make Hassan Whiteside his bitch before Whiteside freaks out and gets ejected for punching his smug face. Once Whiteside is out of the way, it should be smooth sailing and…
Read MorePatty Mills 16 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2016)
This first round sucks. Did everybody forget how to shoot or what? Under no circumstances should Patty Mills’ 16 points be the highest scoring output in the entire game. Somebody tell the coaches to stop coaching so much defense. Maybe tell the refs to do something about it too. Adam Silver himself should have jogged…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 10 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2016)
HA! You thought you could escape the season without watching Terry Rozier highlights? Think again! I can imagine it now, you sitting in front of your computer, maybe using your phone, getting ready to look at your subscription box, thinking to yourself “Hell yeah I can’t wait to see what kind of cool stuff PewDiePie…
Read MoreKyle Korver 17 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2016)
Lost amongst the brouhaha regarding some dude with glass ankles making an unprecedented amount of threes is the lackluster season that Kyle Korver has been having. Remember, he was an All-Star last year. An undeserving one, maybe, but one nonetheless. Once the darling of the NBA, he has been reduced to sub-40% shooting from three…
Read MoreDTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Month (April 2016 Dunkilation)
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DUNK INTERLUDE I: SOME DUNKS, RANKED In our written history of the slam dunk, we have now arrived at the modern era of dunking. It would be rather pointless to expound in detail upon this era, as every possible reader will already have a thorough understanding of it. The explosion…
Read MoreRaymond Felton 21 Points Full Highlights (4/18/2016)
Raymond Felton was about a millionth of a second away from being a HUGE ball-gargling choker against the Thunder. Missing two free throws while up by one followed by the opposition hitting the game-winner as time expires? That’s bad. Really bad. That invalidates all the good that he did this game. Missing two free throws…
Read MoreShaun Livingston 16 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/18/2016)
Shaun Livingston glanced around the team plane anxiously. It seemed like everybody was asleep, but somebody with their head down with their headphones on could just be trying to focus on the next game. Even if that were the case, there was no better time for Shaun to undertake his plan, here at two in…
Read MoreSalah Mejri 12 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/18/2016)
If I’m Steven Adams on the receiving end of unintelligible trash talk from Salah Mejri, I just call him a Jafa (doesn’t matter that Mejri is from a place called Jendouba and not Auckland) in response and be done with it. There are some battles you just can’t win, and I’m sure a back-and-forth smack-talk…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 23 Points Full Highlights (4/18/2016)
Attention Raptors fans/Lithuanians: you were not alone in your assumption, formed at halftime, that Jonas Valanciunas would score 40 tonight. DownToBuck thought the same, incapable as he is of understanding that first-half performances don’t indicate much about second-half performances. Jonas looked unstoppable out there in the first half. The post touches he was promised were…
