Tag: Andre Iguodala

DownToBuck has always been a proponent of giving credit where credit is due, except in cases where I want to take the credit for myself or assign it to some scrub role player who didn’t actually do anything. But in this case, I’m giving lot of the credit is going to Andre “Retirement Home” Iguodala,…

I think I am enjoying the Warriors a little bit more now that Kevin Durant is injured temporarily. DeMarcus Cousins going down was the first step to making them seem less like a ridiculous superteam that is ruining the NBA forever, and Kevin Durant following his lead is the second step to making them seem…

All I’m asking for is one game, one performance, from a Warriors role-player not named Andre Iguodala that’s good enough for me to make highlights of. But rotations get tighter in the playoffs, and the Warriors’ collection of role-players isn’t very good to begin with, so I might be hoping in vain. We already got…

It’s been said many times, including often by me: DeMarcus Cousins just doesn’t seem to be a winning basketball player. Sure, he won some games this year, but only because the talent around him was so overwhelming that even his pouting and nodefense and bad attitude couldn’t bring the Warriors down. His injury, in my…

In very different circumstances from game six against the Clippers, this game saw the Warriors achieve a rare “double-digit scoring game from someone not named Curry, Thompson, Green, or Durant” and actually benefit greatly from it. Andre Iguodala followed up his meaningless fifteen points from last game with a very meaningful fourteen points against the…

Bad timing for the Warriors: they got a rare “double-digit scoring game from someone not named Curry, Thompson, Green, or Durant” and didn’t even need it. They really need to save such performances from their role-players for when their four All-star lineup isn’t getting it done. Andre Iguodala scoring 15 is a rare occasion, to…

Imagine kicking a team’s butt so bad with your dunks and threes that they have to go into the locker room after the game and fight their coach. Unbelievable, but it’s true: Andre Iguodala dunked it a whole bunch of times, then abruptly switched to hitting threes instead, and the end result was that the…

It’s sort of weird that the night Andre Iguodala had his best game of the season by far, the Warriors lost by 26 to the Lakers, even though LeBron had an injury to his “private area” and only played twenty minutes. Actually, it’s not just sort of weird. It’s REALLY weird. I think what happened…

DTB’s summer of 2017 was pretty good all things considered. Sure, I had my first series of copyright run-ins and I failed in my resolution to go to the beach more than zero times (nobody wants to see my hairy chicken legs and pasty noodle arms), but it was also the summer where I officially…
