Robert “Processed Cheese” Covington is secretly the glue guy that keeps the Timberwolves functioning. At least, he seems like he would be that guy. I don’t know enough about the intricacies of the Timberwolves roster to say that for sure. But he’s the guy who provides defense (DownToBuck doesn’t care about defense), steady shooting (not…

Robert Covington 20 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2019)
I am just now realizing how absolutely SICK a Robert Covington three-ilation would be. I had a bunch of chances, like 4 years worth of high-volume three-point shooting seasons when he was in Philly, and I ignored them all. Am I just now realizing how wonderful his shooting form is? Did I not realize before?…

It’s a shame that one of the best success stories of “The Process” doesn’t even get to be a part of the 76ers getting swept in the ECF by the Bucks this year before injuries and inner conflict tear the team apart leaving them with no choice but to start over again. Just a real…
Read MoreRobert Covington 28 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2018)
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…

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…

I’ve talked about this before, so forgive me for talking about again, but I think it bears repeating: Robert Covington, who is just a guy, was 7th in the league in ESPN’s “Real Plus-Minus” stat. I’m utterly incompetent when it comes to anything involving numbers, but I’m pretty sure RPM is a somewhat legit stat….
Read MoreRobert Covington 22 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2018)
This is Robert Covington’s best scoring game since the very beginning of December. Three whole months since he last scored 20. But he’s playing tons of minutes despite his extended slump, because Brett Brown knows what’s up, and what’s up is that Covington is still a positive player on the court even when he’s not…
Read MoreRobert Covington 25 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Prior to this game, Robert Covington had made ten out of his last 43 attempts from threeworld. This included a 0-of-9 effort against the Cavaliers. Covington’s slump coincided strangely with his brand new contract extension, but I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and not just assume he played out of his…
Read MoreRobert Covington Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2017)
Looking at the list the highest-scoring games in Robert Covington’s career is making me sad. All I wanted to do was confirm that 31 is indeed his career-high in points. I didn’t sign up for the part where Covington’s eight next-highest games all resulted in losses for his team. Basketball-reference should provide like a spoiler…
Read MoreRobert Covington 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/9/2017)
I am disappointed to see that Robert Covington is only 32nd in the league in terms of threes attempted per minute. If you restrict that to actual players who play real minutes (RIP Alec Peters/Ryan Arcidiacono), he still comes in at only 15th. That’s not good enough. At 50 percent from deep on the year,…
