When I was watching this game I was able to witness Derrick Favors being guarded by LaMarcus Aldridge and vice-versa. That got me thinking: is Derrick Favors not the second coming of LaMarcus Aldridge? Derrick takes a lot more of his shots close to the basket, but he has shown a jumper game that is,…

Derrick Favors 29 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2016)
Lately DownToBuck has been trying to expand his emerging “Flavors of Favors” brand. Cookbooks must be a low-growth sector or something because I made all these Flavors of Favors cookbooks and guess what, they’re all sitting around in piles in my bedroom. The same marketing that has gotten me 28,000 subscribers apparently can’t even sell…

Derrick Favors drove along a barely-used desert road. It had been almost an hour since he had seen any sign of civilization, here in the barren Utah flatlands. The only lights he had seen were his rental car’s headlights, illuminating the night when he dared to use them. He was totally lost now, and he…

Oh, wow. Tough loss, Jazz fans. Really thought you might be able to pull that one out. Will make a great section for the Warriors’ championship DVD, at least. In light of this tragic defeat, it is time to partition blame! Yes, that will make us feel better. Let me get my sceptre of blame-partitioning….

I’m thinking you guys must just take all your meals at fast-food establishments, or maybe your mom still cooks for you, because these frickin’ cookbooks are not frickin’ moving. I should have known better than to market a “Flavors of Favors” cookbook to a bunch of neckbearded NBA fans who have never cooked a meal…

It’s comforting to know that, as much as things change in the NBA, some things will always stay the same. That there are certain immutable facts of the NBA that will never falter in their trueness. Like the Jazz commentators using the word “confidence” whenever Derrick Favors hits a jumper. They were doing it two…

I’m done screwing around. I still have a bunch of these “Flavors of Favors” cookbooks sitting around. It’s not a question of if or when you guys are going to buy them. I’m just telling you straight up: you guys are going to buy them. Now. I’ve said it before, but I think it bears…

Sometimes things don’t work out like you want them to. A few months ago I self-published the first run of my trademarked “Flavors of Favors” cookbooks. Now, let the record show that these are some good-ass cookbooks. But you can’t do anything without marketing, and DTB didn’t have much of it. I mean, yeah, I…

I’m actually starting to worry about Jazz commentator Ron Boone. Half of the stuff that comes out of his mouth doesn’t make sense, and the other half, you can’t hear because he mumbles. Most of the time he doesn’t finish thoughts that he starts. It seems like “Booner” has favorable things to say about Derrick…

Every time I do Derrick Favors highlights, the Jazz commentators go on about “He’s getting so much more confident” and “He wasn’t doing that a year ago” and “He’s improving before our eyes”. That’s all well and good, but if D-Faves was really improving at that rate, wouldn’t we have an All-Star by now? One…
