Ha! DownToBuck is vindicated! Norman Powell set a then-career-high total with 27 points just five days ago. Guess who didn’t do highlights? That’s right: DawkIns, and GD, and (most notably) DownToBuck. I can’t speak for those other two channels, but I figured that 14 free throws to go with only 5 made buckets would make…
Read MoreRobert Covington 24 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
Robert Covington is shooting a shade over seven threes per game this season. Only a few players can claim to surpass that number, and they all make sense: Curry, Thompson, Harden, and Lillard. Kyle Lowry and Paul George are pretty close. However, over his last seven games, Covington has shot the following amounts of threes:…
Read MoreSteven Adams 17 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
The scrub collection that OKC put on the floor last night somehow took the mostly-intact Spurs to overtime, largely thanks to the combined efforts of Cameron Payne and Steven Adams. Enes Kanter and Dion Waiters tried their best, but ultimately, the loss can be put on them. Adams did a good job, showing that big…
Read MoreCameron Payne 17 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
The more I think about it, the less the name “Cameron Payne” seems like an NBA player’s name and more like a porn star name. Think about it… Payne is an evocative last name. I don’t know what kind of porn a hypothetical “Cameron Payne” would star in, but I bet it would involve naked…
Read MoreJerian Grant 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
Yes, I know the boxscore says 6 assists (for now). I make a lot of typos, but now is not one of those times. Against the Pacers, Jerian Grant had 5 real assists and 1 totally made-up fairytale assist that should earn the scorekeeper who recorded it a one-way ticket to the unemployment line. I…
Read MoreNorman Powell 18 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
On a scale of 1-10, how cheeky was Norman Powell’s windmill dunk at the end of the game against the 76ers? 1 being “not cheeky at all, mate” and 10 being “very cheeky, you wanker”. I myself am going with a 6 on this one. It was kind of cheeky. I’m not one of those…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 21 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2016)
The final buzzer sounds. The first game of the season has ended, with the Knicks victorious over the presumably playoff-bound Bucks, 122-97. Kristaps Porzingis looked okay, but the real star was Derrick Williams, who scored 24 points in only 21 minutes. Carmelo didn’t have a great game, but now that the Knicks have other players…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/11/2016)
I bet Scott Skiles is so mad right now. Normally he would never give Mario Hezonja any minutes but he probably had a directive from higher up that the rookie had to play big minutes in the last few meaningless games of the season. There’s no other explanation. Skiles would rather get confronted by all…
Read MoreKosta Koufos 19 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2016)
Kosta Koufos and Seth Curry: the next DeMarcus Cousins and Rajon Rondo? Yes. But even better. Rondo and Cousins are both ball-dominant players who don’t actually complement each other very well. Also they are both chemistry-killing headcases. Talented, do doubt, but they haven’t shown that you can win with them. Enter Koufos and Curry. Koufos,…
Read MoreSeth Curry 20 Points/15 Assists Full Highlights (4/11/2016)
Attention NBA GMs: This is the Seth Curry that you can expect if you acquire him for your own basketball squad. Some of the things you will get include: -The hype that comes with having a Curry on your team -Three-point shooting -Other forms of scoring should you desire them -Playmaking -But only if you…
