As Manu Ginobili enters the twilight of his career, we start to see more clearly the dichotomy that he has always had. Most of his career, his negatives (boneheaded turnovers and flopping) were negated by all the other things he did to affect the game. Manu still has games where he looks like his normal…

Patty Mills 19 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2015)
Patty Mills is injured last season, and the Spurs go on to win the championship. Patty Mills comes back, and the Spurs don’t look as unbeatable as before. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? That’s right! Taco party at DTB’s place! DownToBuck will provide the tacos, and you all will provide the ladies and booze!…
Read MoreAustin Daye 22 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2015)
Here’s an experTip for Austin Daye: eat some god damn brownies. Here’s another: if you’re gonna be in the league because of your shooting ability, make damn well sure you can actually shoot. And a third: find an all-you-can-eat buffet and live there forever. Austin Daye has surely disappointed even the most positive-thinking Spurs fans….
Read MoreJeff Ayres 16 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2015)
I have not had occasion to make Jeff Ayres highlights since he changed his name from Jeff Pendergraph. He will always be Jeffy Pendy in my heart. He has not done much with the Spurs since he’s arrived, which makes sense, because he’s not very good. I went back into the archives and pulled out…
Read MoreCory Joseph 19 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (1/3/2015)
It looks like the Spurs have found their backup point guard in Cory Joseph. However, his contract is up after this year, and they’ll have to pay him like one. Will they even bother? Patty Mills just landed a sweet new contract to be the backup. If they want to move Patty to SG ala…
Read MoreTiago Splitter 16 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2015)
I could have put “2 Dunks” in the title of this video, but I didn’t. Why? Because they were lame. All he did was catch it under the basket and gently throw it in. He didn’t even grab the rim. If Dwight got those looks, he would have hung on the rim like a monkey,…

Patty Mills walked through the mall, looking for a present that he could send back home for his cousin’s birthday. Gazing idly into the display windows, he dismissed most of the products he saw. The preferences of Americans were much different than those of an Aboriginal Australian. He looked up to see what the next…
Read MoreManu Ginobili 26 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/31/2014)
Manu has still got it! Stop talking about when he should retire. He’ll retire when he damn well pleases, on his own terms. He can do all the things on the court that he ever could, even now. I’m talking, of course, about his flopping game. You would think that his arm-flailing ability would decrease…
Read MoreCory Joseph Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
Dang, I’m sorry. You know that Christmas gift I lovingly prepared for you? The Cory Joseph 14 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights? In the manner of a piece of technology, it is out of date hardly after being received. How was I supposed to know that Cory Joseph would trump his performance the very next day?…

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all received everything on your lists, and maybe a little extra too! (If you know what I mean, hehehe). But you’re not done yet! There is still one more gift to be presented. This one is unwrapped; its nature makes it unwrappable. You close your eyes, eager with anticipation….
