“Man, Giannis, these smoothies are really good, you got it down to a science!” John Henson exclaimed as the first drop of Giannis’ newest concoction landed on his tongue. “What did you say was in it again?” Giannis smiled sheepishly as he listed the ingredients. “Pomegranate, mango, plums, I think that’s all.” He took a…
Read MoreChanning Frye 15 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/13/2016)
Attention Tyronn Lue: please give the Fryeman more than fifteen minutes per game. His numbers are extremely sick right now and we need to see if he can sustain them given a larger role on the team. He probably can’t. That’s not the point. If he can give you thirty solid minutes per game, you…
Read MoreGordon Hayward 27 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2016)
#BringBackTheBowlCut That is the new hashtag I have created for use on the social medias. Facebook, Tweeter, MySpace, Yelp, Foursquare, YouTube, you can use it pretty much anywhere you want. Use it any time you want to express your dissatisfaction with Gordon Hayward’s current hairdo, or when you want to express your admiration for the…
Read MoreOmri Casspi 20 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2016)
Omri Casspi is currently suffering from what I like to call “Post-snub Depression”. He was not selected to perform in the three-point contest, even after Chris Bosh clotted up and had to drop out. It’s debatable whether or not his non-inclusion was a snub or not, but it doesn’t matter what we think. What matters…
Read MoreMyles Turner 19 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2016)
Life just isn’t fair. Myles Turner is young. Only 19! And he has the butteriest jumpshot ever. So buttery. That thing is smooth. No effort required to shoot it, range out to the three-point line, damn. It’s a work of god-damn ART. Meanwhile, DownToBuck is, uh, not 19, and his jumper is totally busted. Well,…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 28 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2016)
This keeps happening with high picks who take a while to develop: by the time they’ve developed into the fully-formed fringe All-Star caliber player that they will remain for the rest of their career, people have moved on and no longer care. The modern NBA fan is lusting constantly for superstars to emerge from the…
Read MoreLuke Babbitt 17 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2016)
The Pelicans must really be getting desperate. Their season is spiraling out of control, caused by a combination of injuries and Anthony Davis for some reason not being able to carry his team come on you’re supposed to carry your team to the playoffs like a good superstar what are you even doing. Case in…
Read MoreCarl Landry 18 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2016)
This is what I expect out of Carl Landry. Eighteen point games on a regular, consistent basis. All he needs is twenty or twenty-five minutes to do his damage and then his old man body can take a breather on the pine while the younguns undo all the good work he did on the court….
Read MoreTobias Harris 21 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2016)
I’m happy for Tobes. Really I am. He’s on a team that looks poised for the playoffs. He gets to win while the Magic (not to mention the Bucks) sit around and lose. Not only that, but he is performing way better with the Pistons than he has at any other point in his career,…
Read MoreCorey Brewer 21 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2016)
Corey Brewer is shooting under 30% from three this year on three attempts per game. Normally I would rag on him hard for shooting all those shots which he clearly can’t make, but at this point I’m at the “acceptance” stage of the process. He’s basically shot 29% from three over the course of the…
