Andrew Wiggins 17 Points/3 Poster Dunks Full Highlights (3/30/2015)

You can put to rest all those criticisms about Andrew Wiggins not dunking it with enough power. Embalm them, stick them in a coffin, put them in a hole in the ground, cover said hole with earth, and erect a tombstone: ————___ ———–(—–) ————_)(_ ______/——\\_____ |—————————|| |—_ ————–_ —–|| |—|-\——-|——|-\—–|| |—|–|——|——|–|—-|| |—|-/——-|——|-/—–|| |—|-\——-|——|——-|| |—|–\——|——|——-|| |—|—\—–|——|——-||…

Adreian Payne 14 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2015)

Here’s something that really sucks if you’re a highlight maker like me: when a player (Adreian Payne) has a really sick dunk, but there isn’t a dead-ball situation (prime replay showing time, for those not in the know) before a different player (Andrew Wiggins) has another replay-worthy play. Then the replay finally comes and guess…

Andrew Wiggins 31 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2015)

Unfortunately, if this keeps up, I’m going to have to reconsider my current opinion of Andrew Wiggins, which is that he is a fun young player to watch. Have you seen his free throw attempts the last few games? It’s ridiculous, almost at a Harden level of getting contact. I don’t care whether the fouls…

Chase Budinger 22 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2015)

Chase Budinger just hasn’t been the same since he exploded his knees. He used to be a high-flying rim destroyer with a confident jumpshot. Now, his jumper is borked because he can’t get the lift he used to, and he can’t dunk with nearly the same amount of fury because every time he tries to…

Andrew Wiggins 27 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2015)

What would be better for Andrew Wiggins’ development: getting big minutes on a horrible team, or getting bench minutes on a playoff team? We can’t, and couldn’t ever, know, but it’s fun to think about. I lean towards the Cavaliers squashing his potential while the Timberwolves are unleashing it, but I’m biased because I love…

Sean Kilpatrick 13 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2015)

I really had no idea what to expect out of Sean Kilpatrick when he started his 10-day with the Wolves. None. I’d heard the name, and that was it. No preconceived notions for this guy, he had a chance to win me over by the quality of his play alone. Turns out, he kinda sucks….

Zach LaVine 27 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/23/2015)

An avid DownToBuck highlight watcher will notice that recently, almost without exception, that I use the audio commentary of the team the highlighted player is on. In general, being the homers that they are paid to be, those commentators get more excited for plays performed by the player than the opposing team’s commentators. Nothing worse…

Andrew Wiggins 22 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2015)

You ain’t gotta do nothin’, Uncle Flip. You know, ain’t like I’m still eighteen years old, you know? Ain’t like I’m gonna be sitting up every night asking my mom “when’s LeBron coming home”, you know? Who needs him? Hey, he wasn’t there to teach me how to shoot my first basket, but I learned…

Gorgui Dieng 19 Points/6 Blocks Full Highlights (3/19/2015)

“Gorgui, I need some of your good old-fashioned West African widsom right now.” Zach LaVine had trundled over to Gorgui Dieng’s locker, looking sad. Gorgui turned to face him with a stern expression. “I seem to remember young Zach asking before for sage advice, but when Gorgui try to tell story of The Fish who…

Zach LaVine 20 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2015)

I don’t know what the hell Zach LaVine thought he was doing at the end of the game tonight against the Knicks. He made those 4 free throws at the end, knowing full well that a win would leave New York as the undisputed worst team in the league, thus making them the most likely…
