When I watch Ersan Ilyasova find success with the Pistons, I know I should be happy. My brain, proud bastion of logic and rationality, tells me this. I should be happy for his team, for all fans of good-quality NBA basketball, and, most importantly, for him. Instead, I feel nothing. When Ersan left for Detroit,…

Andre Drummond 25 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2015)
There is a dude in the NBA, RIGHT NOW, averaging 19 rebounds a game. No, not Dennis Rodman. Did you not notice the “right now” written in capital letters? As of this very season, there is a player who, with his own hands, grabs the results of missed shots an average nineteen times per contest….
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 17 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2015)
DownToBuck has his vibe-sensors turned up to 11, and they are picking up some serious vibes from one Spencer Dinwiddie. What kind of vibes, you ask? Michael Carter-Williams vibes. Serious ones. The similarities are, if not eerie, at least striking. Long? Check. Tall? Check. Not good right now but with maybe some potentials hidden in…
Read MoreStanley Johnson 20 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2015)
Let this be a lesson: never proclaim that your team’s rookie is going to be able to contribute positively right away unless they are FOR SURE a CAN’T MISS prospect (like LeBron) and also a top five pick. Stanley Johnson had a great preseason, definitely. Looked really good out there, scored a bunch, had his…
Read MoreReggie Jackson Career High 40 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2015)
I knew while compiling this vid that I was gonna get beat by DawkIns (and GD, may he rest in peace, oh wait he’s back again) by a mile on upload time. He has his methods, I have mine, and mine mean that I can never be first to provide highlights of the sick (or…
Read MoreMarcus Morris 26 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2015)
Who says that the Morris twins need each other around to be successful? Marcus had a decent first game with the Pistons, and for an encore put on a very Markieff-esque performance while the real thing was 2000 miles away in Phoenix. It was seriously exactly like watching his brother out there. I don’t know…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 16 Points Pistons Debut Full Highlights (10/27/2015)
Huh. A lot of player movement this offseason, yeah? I guess it’s gonna take a while before I fully internalize the moves that have been made. Yup. Whole bunch of new faces, or rather, old faces with new unis. Players you thought would be with a team for their whole career, maybe, I don’t know,…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 21 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2015)
The dream ended as my body fully re-entered the Earth’s regular timeflow. However, my brain did not easily relinquish the dream, terrifying though it had been. My eyes flew open to find a tall man dressed in white staring down at me, but all I could recall was that the NBA had been taken away…
Read MoreAndre Drummond All 166 Dunks Full Highlights (2014-2015 Season Dunkilation)
Andre Drummond and Brandon Jennings relaxed on Brandon’s couch. Remote in hand, Andre flipped through TV channels listlessly, hoping to find something worth watching. “I told you, we should just watch ESPN,” Brandon complained. “Maybe they’ll talk about us.” Andre shook his head. “ESPN blows. I’m not the brightest guy but even I can tell…
Read MoreJodie Meeks 24 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2015)
How many of you realize that Jodie Meeks had a 42-point game last year? I remember, of course, because I am not a weak humanoid but rather a machine that is incapable of forgetfulness. Meat-sacks such as yourself, blessed not without persistent and infallible storage systems, could easily fail to recall such a tiny scrap…
