Nate Robinson is one of those chuckers who just can’t seem to find a team that will accept their chucking ways. The most common route for this type of player is to go to China and average 40. I thought that after his good stint with the Bulls that he would stick somewhere with major…

Arron Afflalo 31 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2014)
Arron Afflalo lay prone upon the grass outside the Pepsi Center. Cold raindrops splashed on his face, but he paid them no attention. “Hey, Arron!” It was Nate Robinson, who was walking across the lawn towards him. “Why are you looking so down? You did great tonight, my man.” Arron sighed dramatically. “The suffocating veil…
Read MoreDarrell Arthur 20 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (12/13/2014)
At the very beginning of this video, one of the Nuggets commentators states his wish that Darrell “The Aardvark” Arthur would have a game where he hits “six or seven” three-pointers. This commentator believes that Arthur accomplishing this feat would lead to a Nuggets win. He’s probably right. Scoring 18 or 21 points on three-pointers…
Read MoreErick Green 11 Points/3 Assists/1 Buzzer Beater Full Highlights (12/10/2014)
Welcome to DTB’s honesty hour, where DownToBuck sits down with you and only tells truths. Today we’re talking about Denver Nuggets guard Erick Green. Since we’re being honest here with no deception or lies, I have to tell you something: I was only vaguely aware of Erick Green’s being in the league before I made…
Read MoreAlonzo Gee 14 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (12/7/2014)
Alonzo “Geesus” Gee, as recently as two years ago, started all 82 games for the Cavaliers. The mere thought of it wrecks my head. The Geesus is good for energy and dunks off the bench, but the Cavs that year must have been suffering for SF’s if they played him thirty minutes per game. But…
Read MoreWilson Chandler 29 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2014)
I have a hypothesis about Wilson Chandler: he has no fans at all. There is not a single person who craves Wilson Chandler highlights above all others, who is a fan of the Nuggets solely because of his presence, or who owns his journey un-ironically. Wilson Chandler himself does not count. Neither does his mama,…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 14 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
“JaVale, could you please put some clothes on?” asked a visibly annoyed Wilson Chandler. “Ain’t nobody want to see that stuff.” JaVale McGee made no move to clothe himself. “Some of us are comfortable with our bodies, Wilson. We all see each other naked in the shower, and as a man of maturity, it neither…
Read MoreDanilo Gallinari 17 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2014)
At the moment, Danilo Gallinari is the closest thing the Nuggets have to a star player, which really says something about their roster construction. With him slumping hard to start the season, the Nuggets could replace neither his scoring nor his gelled-up fauxhawk, so they slumped along with him. This is the first good game…
Read MoreTimofey Mozgov 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights
“Hey Mozz, you got any plans for after the game?” asked Gary Harris, approaching a sweaty Timofey Mozgov in the locker room. “Some of the other guys said you’re a pretty wild dude.” Timofey’s stony look of tiredness broke into a large smile. “This is true, yes. I like to party in the Russian way….
Read MoreArron Afflalo 23 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2014)
Arron Afflalo is not taking last year’s All-Star snubbing well. His scoring average is way down, and his in-huddle inspirational speeches have turned into rambling monologues on the absurdity of the human condition. The Nuggets must be sympathizing with him, because the whole team is playing below expectations. There is a lot of speculation on…
