Austin Rivers 14 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2014)

Austin Rivers has shown decent improvement after his disastrous rookie campaign. This is good. It’s expected that a rookie will improve, but for someone who played as Rivers did last year it’s not a given. He’s still not very good at all, and New Orleans picking him at 10 is still a glaring mistake. His…

Anthony Morrow 26 Points Full Highlights (4/4/2014)

I saw a quote from Anthony Davis that said something to the effect of “I like playing with Anthony Morrow because he’s such a good shooter”. When your franchise centerpiece wants to play with a player, you keep that player. The Pelicans better get ready to shell out some cash to keep Anthony Morrow around….

Jeff Withey 8 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (3/31/2014)

This is the kind of Jeff Withey we all expected. The defense kind. The shot-blocking maniac kind. What do you mean you didn’t expect this from Jeff Withey? You expected three point shooting and windmill dunks? I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of the wrong player. Jeff doesn’t do those things outside of practice. Yes, I’m…

Anthony Morrow 23 Points Full Highlights (3/31/2014)

Anthony Morrow is always so hyped up. He realizes the nature of the NBA; that a bench player like him needs to make his presence felt in ways other than pure ability. Like getting really excited about things and saying “let’s fucking go” after hitting a shot. Go where? He was a little too eager…

Anthony Morrow 20 Points Full Highlights (3/28/2014)

“I don’t know about this, Tyreke,” Anthony said worriedly, staring with distrust at the blender of protein shake sitting on the table in front of him. “I’m just fine the way I am.” “No you ain’t, dog,” Tyreke responded. “You once posted up a chair and lost. You the skinniest dude in the league fo’…

Darius Miller Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2014)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player work harder for points than D-Mill does in this game. Poor little Darren Collison was matched up on the larger Miller for most of the night, and Miller took this as a cue to harass him at every turn with his tight handles and wet jumper. Layups?…

Anthony Morrow 27 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2014)

Tickets are now on sale for my next seminar, which is entitled “Anthony Morrow: The Best Role-Player Ever?” At this talk, I will lay out my argument for Anthony Morrow being better than any current or past role-player in terms of playing his role. Some guy on YouTube called DownToBuck (that’s me!) has made some…

Luke Babbitt 11 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (3/21/2014)

Luke “Babbers” Babbitt might have the ugliest haircut in the NBA. Actually, it’s a tie between him and Andrei Kirilenko; both have the “hair helmet” thing going, and both of them look stupid. News flash: it’s not the 60’s anymore, half the Beatles are dead, and mod fashion is no longer what’s “in”. Now, if…

Al-Farouq Aminu 19 Points/10 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/19/2014)

Al-Farouq Aminu was on his way to the locker room when a voice issued forth from a dumpster. “Psst, Al-Farouq! Get in here!” Startled, Al-Farouq looked into the bin to find Anthony Davis huddled in the bottom. “Man, I don’t know if we’re both going to fit in there. You look kinda cramped already,” Al-Farouq…

Austin Rivers 14 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/12/2014)

You aren’t gonna win many games in the NBA when your fourth quarter offense consists entirely of Austin Rivers. All 5 shots, made or assisted by the guy who was probably the worst player in the league last year. Though to be fair, he had a really good night, with some nice finishes at the…
