Jimmy Butler: good defender? “Of course, DownToBuck, I am content to eagerly suckle on the teat of mass-media, the teat which dispenses a supposed consensus that Jimmy Butler is one of the premier defenders in the league!” Allow me to shatter your carefully constructed and maintained worldview with the power of YouTube NBA highlights. Further…

Chris Copeland 21 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/1/2014)
Maybe it’s just me, but does Chris Copeland not totally look like an Egyptian pharaoh? That hair is like some kind of elaborate headpiece, and he’s always dressed In Pacers’ gold, which sort of resembles one of those gold coffin thingies that the Egyptians put their mummies in. I actually traveled to Egypt to find…

I hope NBA teams realize that Chris Copeland is thirty years old and, as an old man, does not have much time left in the league. We’re talking five years at most. In sympathy with Copeland’s plight, you need to give him minutes while he can still take advantage of them. The Pacers had better…

The Pacers’ struggles recently are widely documented. They were never great at putting the ball in the hole; now the only time they score is through luck. You would think that they would at least attempt to play Chris Copeland to see if he would help. Offense is the one thing he does well. But…

Reggie Miller asks at the end of this video “Where has he been all series?”, “he” being Chris Copeland. The answer: buried on the bench because Woodson is a moron who doesn’t want to play offensively gifted players while the team is struggling to score. Is it a coincidence that the Knicks won once Copeland…

Tonight was a weird night for the Knicks. They decided to rest many of their players, which makes sense. But for some reason they decided to start Chris Copeland as the center. They just signed Solomon Jones basically for that reason, and they didn’t even play him. Luckily for Copeland, the opposing center Bismack Biyombo…

I still don’t know where Chris Copeland came from. One minute he’s in Europe, the next he’s dominating with the Knicks’ summer league team. And now he’s proven that he can be a decent scorer whenever Carmelo is out of the game. It makes me wonder why more teams don’t scout players in Europe. There…

I feel kind of bad for making this video. Yeah, Chris Copeland scored 13, but when you watch this video you will see how much of a joke it was. The Pacers seem totally uninterested in playing defense. That or the Prigioni-Copeland pick-and-roll is the most devastating in the league. So if you like to…

Chris Copeland’s story is one of those stories where you read it and you feel all goopy inside. After a stint in the D-League, Copeland went to Europe to find himself. Drifting from team to team, he gathered wisdom from his European teammates, wisdom so arcane that it was considered unknowable by most American players:…
