Is there any way the Timberwolves can just make Andrew Wiggins… disappear? Not like, kill him or anything, but just make it so the universe assigned him to be an accountant rather than an NBA player? He can even be an accountant for the Timberwolves if he wants. All those missed free throws in overtime…

Derrick Rose 24 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/26/2018)
Derrick Rose is making me look dumb over here. Really dumb. He was supposed to be washed up this season, an old guy on the decline, the perfect player for the DownToBuck highlights channel. Last season, when he made his late-season arrival in Minnesota, he looked okay at times, but once you looked past his…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 33 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/19/2018)
Derrick Rose, as far as I can tell, is posting the best on-off splits of his career. Even better than his ones from his MVP-level prime in Chicago. Part of that is because he is a total beast who somehow came back from the dead to destroy Father Time forever, and another part of that…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 25 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2018)
New goal for Derrick Rose: to average more points than he did in his second year in the league. He was at 20.8 that season, good enough for an All-Star selection at 21 years old. Right now he’s at 18.7, which is great for how he’s looked the last couple years, but I feel like…

“Dear Diary, I hate Europe so god damn much. All of it. Even the so-called “good” parts like England and France. All of it sucks. I hate the people, I hate the culture, I hate the geography, I hate the style of basketball, I hate the basketball players, and I especially hate the most vile…
Read MoreJeff Teague 3 Points/18 Assists Full Highlights (12/5/2018)
Jeff Teague’s 18 assists is the most by any player so far this season. He’s not even tied with anybody, he’s just straight up the best single-game assister in the NBA right now. But with any performance with this many dimes, some of them are going to be a little iffy. Let’s take a look…

Is it legal for Derrick Rose to win the Most Improved Player award? Everyone keeps talking about his Sixth Man of the Year candidacy, and he’s definitely in the running for that, but that one wouldn’t have as much impact as him winning MIP would. I shouldn’t have to remind people, but he went from…
Read MoreRobert Covington 24 Points Full Highlights (11/26/2018)
I was so sad when I saw that Robert Covington was traded from the 76ers. He was, like, the ORIGINAL process. He was the first of all the random scrubs that Hinkie cycled through his team to turn into something good. He wasn’t the most key member of their final iteration, but he had seen…

If I had known that Derrick Rose, he of the multiple knee surgeries, was going to average nearly twenty points per game at age thirty (remember, he’s had multiple knee surgeries, his knee tendons were actually replaced with extra-thick rubber bands), I would have had to think long and hard about his OFFICIAL DTB EXCLUSION…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 25 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
Let’s say Derrick Rose continues averaging 19 for the whole season. That could easily happen, for sure. How many seasons of that would he need in a row before he had a good chance of entering the Hall Of Fame upon retirement? Leave your answer in the comments. Your answer must be an integer that…
