Since DeMarre Carroll is getting paid fifteen million dollars this season (with the consensus being that he isn’t quite worth that much money) and this is the last season of his deal, I believe that confluence of events results in him being a “trade asset” due to being an “expiring contract”. Right now I’m just…

D’Angelo Russell 26 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
It would be easy to blame D’Angelo Russell for tonight’s loss against the Grizzlies, since he had that costly turnover with 20 seconds left in regulation, but that wouldn’t be fair. He did so much other good stuff and honestly, I would place most of the blame on Jaren Jackson who scored 36 unearned points…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 17 Points Full Highlights (11/25/2018)
A Jarrett Allen dunkilation is definitely happening this season. For sure. He’s on pace for somewhere around 175 dunks, assuming he doesn’t suffer a devastating afro injury that takes him out for multiple months. I’m just concerned that the quality of the dunkilation will suffer due to the lack of posters that Allen is generating….
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (11/25/2018)
For some reason I was down on Spencer Dinwiddie early in the season. That’s what I remember, anyway, but now I’m looking at his game logs and I’m like “that’s not so bad”. And he seems to be doing fine now. I’m hoping that was a one-time thing, because I don’t like the idea of…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 38 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/25/2018)
It’s official: D’Angelo Russell is “good” now. Before this year, he put up good stats, and he looked good on the court, but he wasn’t “good”. He is now. Officially. If you are wondering what makes my proclamation official more than the proclamation of some random loser on the Internet, it’s because I have a…
Read MoreEd Davis 17 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
Scrolling down the Nets-Mavericks box-score, I am struck by an intriguing total: Ed Davis with seventeen points. Using my amazing powers of statistical recall, I quickly determine that seventeen is the most that Davis has scored in the past three seasons. A highlight video must be made at once. My eye darts to the left…
Read MoreAllen Crabbe 27 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
No one is talking about how bad Allen Crabbe has been this year. Nets fans are, maybe, just a little bit, but when it comes to everyone else? No. He is SO BAD, so utterly bad at shooting so far, so where’s the criticism? If there’s one thing I’ve learned after all these years, it’s…
Read MoreJoe Harris 19 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
On one hand, it’s cool that Joe Harris did much of his scoring in this game off the dribble. Maybe the defense was preventing him from getting to his preferred shooting spots, or maybe they were just closing out extra hard, forcing him to cut towards the basket instead of popping a three like he…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
DownToBuck is a man of fashion. So when I saw these Nets alternate jerseys, I knew I had to have some of the stuff that inspired them in the first place. So I searched “Biggie Smalls sweater” in the Googs, which is slightly too bad because now they think I like rap when I don’t…
Read MoreJarrett Allen Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)
The three-point shooting version of himself that Jarrett Allen teased us with in the season opener has not made another appearance. He made two triples that game, leading me to believe that he Kenny Atkinson was doing to him what he did with Brook Lopez. Since that game? You guessed it, zero threes. He’s barely…
