It is time. Time for Damian Lillard to prove that he isn’t merely Brandon Jennings 2.0 and is instead an actual point guard. He’s not going to be convincing many people with this latest 2-assist, 20-shot performance. Come on man, you have Aldridge on your team that should be like 5 free assists a game….

Luke Babbitt 12 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2013)
Luke Babbitt amassed 12 points against the Lakers. You can guess how those points were scored. Really? “5 Dunks, 2 of them and-ones.” What a stupid answer. Come on. The correct answer is “4 Threes”. I really thought that this would be Babbitt’s year. He must have some serious deficiencies in his game, because he…
Read MoreVictor Claver Career High 12 Points Full Highlights (4/1/2013)
How good is Victor Claver? Let’s put it this way: he barely get any minutes coming off the bench for a team who is commonly regarded as having the worst bench in the league. Yeah. Not too good. You might ask, “What good is a floor-spacing big who can’t shoot from long range, doesn’t rebound,…
Read MoreMeyers Leonard Career High 22 Points/1 Three Pointer Full Highlights (3/30/2013)
Meyers Leonard is the only good bench player on the Trailblazers. But with Aldridge out, he gets to start, leaving the Blazers with exactly one bench player that you would want to play, that being Eric Maynor. Apparently they should start Leonard more often, as he picked up his first career dub-dub while also scoring…
Read MoreWesley Matthews 28 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/19/2013)
If a team holds a 24-point lead at halftime of an NBA game, you think the game’s over, right? Wrong. Actually, right. Just ask Wesley Matthews, who single-handedly dragged his putrid Blazers squad to within seven points in the second half after being by 24 points at the half. Matthews’ superhuman three-shooting ability was not…
Read MoreLaMarcus Aldridge 26 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2013)
Time for a brain exercise. I’m going to throw out five random NBA players and you tell me if it’s a championship-contending lineup for years to come, bordering on dynasty-esque: Damian Lillard. Brandon Roy. Nic Batum. LaMarcus Aldridge. Greg Oden. Oh, I’m sorry Blazers fans! Stop crying! I didn’t mean it! I had no idea…
Read MoreEric Maynor 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2013)
All aboard the Eric Maynor hype train! I’m your conductor, DownToBuck. Choo Choo! We might not be as fast or as fancy as the Lillard hype train, but we’re a lot less crowded! Plenty of room to spread your legs. And you guys had better get on quick before it is derailed by Terry Stotts’…
Read MoreEric Maynor 13 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2013)
Remember when Thunder fans thought that Maynor was going to be a key contributor to their championship squad? Those were the days. Then he got injured, and Reggie Jackson came along, and all of a sudden he wasn’t playing at all. But now he’s been traded to the Trailblazers, who desperately need a competent back-up…
Read MoreMeyers Leonard Career High 15 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2013)
I have a favorable impression of Meyers Leonard. I don’t know why. I watch a lot of Portland games, but it never seems that he plays very much? Maybe it’s because he’s white. Yeah, that’s it. I must be a racist or something. Anyway, given my high opinion of him, it surprised me that 15…
Read MoreWesley Matthews 24 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2013)
Remember when an undrafted Wesley Matthews had a pretty good rookie season but for some reason the Jazz didn’t want to keep him? Yeah. I bet Jazz fans are still salty at their front office for that one. When they’re not busy being part of a weird cult religion. But for Wesley Matthews his days…
