If there’s one thing that I love, it’s high-arcing close-midrange mini-jumpers. You get so close to the rim that you could practically just reach over and put it in, but instead you loft the ball into the stratosphere only to have it swish straight through the rim. They should have a “high-arcing close-midrange mini-jumper” contest…

Skal Labissiere 15 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2019)
I’m as happy as a man who has no emotions can be (which is only marginally happy) that Skal Labissiere has finally found a team that will give him a somewhat consistent role, however small it may be. I didn’t think it would ever happen, but it is, right before our very eyes. But whatever…

DownToBuck doesn’t normally feel emotions like happiness. In fact, DownToBuck has largely forgotten what happiness feels like. Contentment, sure, DownToBuck feels content sometimes. He even sometimes feels pleased. But happiness? DownToBuck’s flattened emotional seismograph doesn’t allow for extreme emotions like that. On the plus side, DownToBuck is not really capable of sadness or frustration either….

I’ve been a big Skal Labissiere fan ever since he put together some monster games for the Kings back in his rookie season. For some reason, coaches don’t see a reason to play him even though it’s quite obvious from my perspective that he’s a versatile big who can score on the inside, score on…

Skal Labissiere hasn’t had many games like this this season. I thought it would all come together for him, after seeing what he did at the end of his rookie year, but it hasn’t. Not to the extent I, and presumably all Kings fans, wanted. He’s been pretty decent for the last month or so,…

It was around this time last year that Skal Labissiere started showing us something after getting (unfairly) nailed to the bench for the first three months of his career. Is last year too recent to start looking back on it with nostalgia? I, along with everybody else, was enamored with the idea of a player…

Someone must have told Doug Christie to chill out a little bit if he wanted to keep making his cameos as a commentator for the Kings. Fans of Skal Labissiere last year will remember several highlight videos of his that were accompanied by the half-sensical rambling, exaggerated vocal affectation, and delighted squeals of Christie. I…

Whatever Marquese Chriss did to stop being so garbage, can he please tell Skal Labissiere what it was so that we can get the Skal of last year back? Alternatively, can some enterprising Kings fan go over to Dave Joerger’s place and pound his nuts with a sledgehammer while he sleeps while yelling “WE WANT…

Another day, another vid with way too many free throws. Skal Labissiere hit 5 shots tonight, a fact secondary to the 9 of 10 he shot from the line. I even thought about not making this vid, but I did anyway, obviously, because you’re watching the fruits of my wretched labors. I made it because,…

There was nothing sadder than watching Skal Labissiere sit at the draft last year and look on as everyone around him got selected. Just him and Deyonta Davis, wondering why the heck no team wanted to take them. Everyone knows that feeling of being unwanted, and the idea of your unwantedness being shown to millions…
