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…

Damjan Rudež 11 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (10/31/2014)
So it turns out, being the ignorant American pig that I am, that I’ve been pronouncing Damjan Rudez’s name wrong this whole time. “Dam Jan Rue Dezz”. I should have known that him being Croatian, not Spanish, means that his last name is pronounced very Slavically: “Rudich”. His first name, though is a total head…
Read MorePaul George All 69 Dunks Full Highlights (2013-14 Season Dunkilation)
If you don’t like spoilers, you probably should watch the video before reading the description. Snape kills Dumbledore. -SPOILER GAP- Paul George does a 360 windmill dunk in this video. A 360 windmill IN GAME. That is like levels of in-game dunking not seen since Vince Carter was on the Raptors. If Paul didn’t get…
Read MoreLuis Scola 12 Points Full Highlights (5/26/2014)
Luis “Scolar Bear” Scola should be handed the reins of the offense in game five. I’m not even being funny here. Nobody on the Pacers has shown any competitive spirit beyond the minimal amount required to play in the NBA in the first place; Scola will show that spirit as long as you mention to…
Read MoreLuis Scola 20 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2014)
Plans are in motion and contracts drawn up for DownToBuck’s next business venture: the NBA full-court food-court. Basketball food and fun for the whole family! Featuring such delightful establishments as Crowder’s Chowders, Tiago’s Banana Splitters and Andrea’s Primo Pasta Palace. But who would provide the beverages? I’ve got the alcohol covered by Larry Sanders’ Champagnes…
Read MoreChris Copeland 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (4/16/2014)
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…
Read MoreLuis Scola 24 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2014)
The days of Luis Scola being a potent scorer in the NBA are probably coming to an end. He is 33 now, and is so slow that he’s a defensive liability even if he can splash jumpers from anywhere on the court. Let us have a moment of silence for the Scola of days past,…
Read MoreChris Copeland 18 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (4/9/2014)
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…
Read MoreRoy Hibbert 20 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2014)
Am I the only one who takes joy in the Pacers’ recent struggles? I don’t like it when teams do well. I would rather they suck so that I can make fun of them. Then, when it turns out that they were just in a slump, I can pretend that I never wrote any of…
Read MoreLance Stephenson 25 Points Full Highlights (3/17/2014)
I’m imagining that Pacers fans are experiencing a lot of cognitive dissonance right now. They love the Pacers, and they love basketball, but they have to reconcile that with Lance Stephenson being an iso-loving tough guy maniac who makes a mockery of the game with his swag. But despite Stephenson’s not-as-desirable qualities, he has turned…
