You wanna know how you know that a team sucks at evaluating talent? Other than them being an NBA team? When they waive a player that goes on to contribute to a winning team. The Wizards did this with Shelvin Mack. He gives the Hawks some energy off the bench, and the Wizards got rid…

Mike Scott 18 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2013)
“Adam, you know I respect you, but could you possibly walk any louder? We’re supposed to be sneaking.” Adam Silver turned red at the admonishment of his boss, but the pitch blackness afforded him cover. “Sorry, sir,” he whispered demurely, pushing his glasses up his nose. “Do you know which room is his?” David Stern…
Read MoreAl Horford 25 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2013)
Despite my extensive campaigning, Al Horford remains underrated. I don’t get it. He’s somehow even better than before yet people still overlook him. He can even shoot threes now! Isn’t that what you all want? Plus he’s led the Hawks to an above .500 record, an impressive feat apparently for Eastern Conference teams. Whatever, it’s…
Read MorePaul Millsap 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/23/2013)
Free will is an illusion. How can we possibly have the ability to make choices when we live in a totally deterministic universe? The world we live in is bound totally by the laws of physics, laws which are currently being codified. It is not unreasonable to think that, in the future, we will able…
Read MoreKyle Korver 28 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (12/18/2013)
Our Korver, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy shooting. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth, as it is in Philips Arena. Give us this day our daily three, and forgive us our bricks, as we forgive those who brick against us. And lead us not inside the arc, but deliver us…
Read MoreLou Williams 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/14/2013)
Somehow the return of Lou Williams to the Hawks from injury has not generated much excitement among NBA fans. I don’t get it. He’s a swaggy sixth man who likes to shoot. Nick Young does exactly the same thing for the Lakers and everyone loves him. Well, screw those other people. I’m excited. And you’re…
Read MoreKyle Korver 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/4/2013)
I’m so mad at Kyle Korver right now. So I was sitting at home making these highlights while my girlfriend is in the same room watching TV. She doesn’t even like basketball so she usually doesn’t pay attention to my labors. It’s funny, she would actually rather watch made-up stories about made-up people on some…
Read MoreDeMarre Carroll 17 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2013)
I’m in the process of writing the Final for this semester’s class. I hope you guys all have been paying attention and taking good notes, because this one’s gonna be a doozy. All short answer, plus one or two essay questions. None of that multiple choice crap. Plus its closed-book, so no cheap Google help…
Read MorePaul Millsap 23 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (11/30/2013)
Paul Millsap has always been an underrated player. Playing on the Jazz will do that to a guy. And now that he’s on the Hawks, somehow even fewer people care about him. But he’s in luck, because DownToBuck cares about all NBA players, big or small, with special favoritism shown to those who can shoot…
Read MorePero Antić 12 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2013)
Pero Antic looks like Carlos Boozer. This is all I have to say on the matter. Alright, fine. He is also Macedonian. But he’s not from a country called Macedonia, because the Greeks were/are being total bungholes. He is instead from a country called “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”. FYROM for short. Isn’t that…
