The Hawks’ signing of Dewayne “Judge Dedd” Dedmon made very little sense to me when it happened and it still doesn’t make much sense to me. The Hawks are clearly tanking, so there’s not any point in having a solid, low-scoring, low-upside bigman on your team. What’s he gonna do? Instill a winning culture with…

Luke Babbitt 17 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2017)
#babbersnation unite! The Hawks have found their Ersan Ilyasova replacement of the future, and his name is Luke Babbitt! The amount of confidence they are showing in him is astounding: “Hey you get the start tonight oh and why don’t you guard LeBron James while you play for all but seven minutes of the game?…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 28 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (11/5/2017)
Dënniß ßchrööder kinda took over the game in the third quarter tonight. Derrick Rose couldn’t hold him at all, which is expected I guess. Jae Crowder couldn’t hold him either. No one could hold him. He was unholdable. The Rajon Rondo comparisons from earlier in his career should be pretty much invalidated by now. As…
Read MoreTyler Dorsey 10 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2017)
So it’s sort of embarrassing to admit, but I actually didn’t know that there was a guy named Tyler Dorsey in the league until I saw his name pop up on my list of potential scrublights (that’s “scrub highlights”) for today. In honor of his total anonymity and obscurity, I have compiled a list of…
Read MoreIsaiah Taylor 12 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/3/2017)
Is anyone else in the vicinity of this highlight video receiving Ish Smith vibes? I only ask because my organomechanic vibe-receptors are detecting a large amount of vibes and they appear to be the vibes of Ish Smith. Normally my receptors are very well calibrated, so I have no reason to doubt their assertion that…
Read MoreLuke Babbitt 16 Points/1 Anklebreaker Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
First off: sorry for the clickbait video title. But I want people to see Robert Covington get his ankles obliterated by the TIGHT HANDLES of Luke Babbitt. And its not even as clickbaity as it could be; I didn’t even add “/1 Dunk” even thought he also had a dunk this game. He really did…
Read MoreTaurean Prince 19 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2017)
In case you wondering, DownToBuck is still hard at work on the first of many sci-fi/fantasy novels comprising my epic “Taurean Prince” series. No, this upcoming literary masterwork isn’t about the NBA Taurean Prince. He’s the inspiration in name only. What it is about is a race of humanoid/bull-like hybrids called the “Taures”. The main…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 23 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2017)
I have seen enough. This is, definitively, the version of Marco Belinelli we are going to be seeing for the rest of the season. The “Shot selection? What does that mean remember I don’t speak English” version. The version who takes long twos with a defender right in his face because who else is gonna…
Read MoreJohn Collins 14 Points Full Highlights (10/23/2017)
If I’m gonna keep doing John Collins highlights, I’m gonna need more midrange jimbos. A lot more. Wasn’t that one of the things he was supposed to be able to do coming into the league? Even if it wasn’t, I bet he shoots them ALL the time in practice, so no reason he can’t be…
Read MoreTaurean Prince Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (10/23/2017)
There’s something wrong with me, I think, because I am not hyped for Taurean Prince at all. Normally I love role-players of his ilk, but there’s something about him that’s just… eh. It’s not his appearance, before you say anything. I love Tony Snell, and this dude is basically Tony Snell with the hair that…
