Nicolas Batum 28 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)

ALERT ALERT ALERT THIS VIDEO HAS TOO MANY FREE THROWS TO BE ENJOYABLE ALERT That’s why I shouldn’t just look at points scored before going in and starting the highlight-making process. “28 points for Nic? Hot-diggity-damn!” I said as a cracked my knuckes, eager to get to work. He made two shots, everything was going…

Nicolas Batum 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2016)

I’m honestly getting a little tired of Nicolas Batum constantly achieving these high assist totals. We get it. You’re a point-forward. You’ve proven your point. Can you cool off on the assists for a bit? Just pretend it’s your first four years in the league and you’re averaging two assists per game like a small…

Nicolas Batum Triple Double 20 Pts/10 Asts/11 Rebs Full Highlights (12/23/2016)

Does it seem to anybody else that there are more crazy statlines this year then there have been in the past couple of season? It just feels like, to me, that we’re seeing insane stuff happening every single night. This is the 31st triple double of the season, courtesy of Nicolas Batum. That doesn’t sound…

Nicolas Batum 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (12/20/2016)

Was Nic Batum’s late basket against the Lakers to put the Hornets up by two a “game-winner?” When I think of game-winners, I think of shots made with no time left on the clock. In my opinion, any made shot that gives the opponent more than three seconds to get another shot off are not…

Nicolas Batum 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2016)

Nic Batum had fourteen points and seven assists at halftime. He was feeling it. Then he only got six more points and one more assist after both teams took fifteen-minute breaks to drink Gatorade and watch funny cat videos on YouTube. So what happened that caused Batum to drop off so hard? I’ll tell you…

Nicolas Batum 24 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

How is Nicolas Batum only 27 years old? I feel like he’s been in the league for forever. Is he pulling an Ersan/Yi/Serge/Thon where he’s older than he claims, but instead of doing the age-changing before he got into the league he just subtracted three from his years when he got traded to the Hornets?…

Nicolas Batum 24 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2016)

YAWN. Wake me up when the second round starts. All these blowouts are making DownToBuck one sleepy highlight-maker. And these aren’t even the good kind of blowouts, the kind where a scrub or two go off for 20 points. These are the bad kind, where everyone sucks equally and no highlights need to be done…

Nicolas Batum Triple Double 19 Pts/12 Asts/12 Rebs Full Highlights (3/29/2016)

The Charlotte Hornets are way better than I thought they were going to be this year. I admit, I had some hearty laughs at their expense, making light of what I thought to be another pointless 8th-seed push. Jokes on me, right? The 5th seed is way more than the 8th. There are a lot…

Nicolas Batum 24 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/19/2016)

Nic Batum groped around the empty room, feeling panic setting off alarms in his mind. He forced himself to calm down and think rationally: he was trapped in an inner room of the Blazers practice facility, chased here by a microwaved basketball turned bloodthirsty mutant monster. In a few minutes, the door would be broken…

Nicolas Batum 31 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2016)

I don’t feel like doing any research, so someone who is smarter than me can tell me that I’m being a dumbass. But why is calling Nicolas Batum a “Frenchman” totally okay while if someone called Jeremy Lin a “Chinaman” everyone would flip out? There must be some derogatory connotations included with the second one…
