Last night, Tristan Thompson made eleven field goals. Only twice in his career has he made more than that, once in 2012 and once in 2014. He also attempted nineteen field goals, which is a career high. For a guy who’s not known as a scorer, he sure was doing it a lot in this…

Tristan Thompson 25 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (10/26/2019)
Tristan Thompson had played in 563 regular-season NBA games prior to tonight. In all 563 of those games, he made exactly zero three-pointers. In 554 of those games, he attempted exactly zero three-pointers. The scouting report on him was very clear: he does not shoot threes. Ever. And if he sometimes accidentally shoots a three,…

I know that Matthew Dellavedova didn’t play in this game, but his glorious return to Cleveland also signals the return of the fabled Tristan Thompson-Matthew Dellavedova lob connection, which for a period of time seemed to be the most prolific lob connetion in the NBA. Tristan Thompson, when he’s not catching lobs, is a player…

There are a lot of people out there in the world today who know about celebrities and their happenings and their whereabouts, but I’m not one of those people. So when I hear that Tristan Thompson is embroiled in some drama with his girlfriend (or ex-girlfriend? don’t know) Khloe Kardashian, all I can do is…

I would like to use this description box to issue an apology to Tristan Thompson and all fans of Tristan Thompson (I’m not sure you exist, but I’m not taking any chances here). In the two games prior to this, Thompson scored 18 and 16 points respectively, but the DownToBuck YouTube channel was strangely, and…

There were periods of this game where the Cavaliers feed mysteriously had no commentary. It had arena noise, but the Cavs TV commentators were nowhere to be found. At first I thought they had hidden under their broadcast desk in protest of having to announce bad-quality Cavaliers games, but then they suddenly popped back into…

Tristan Thompson has almost become more known for his exploits off the court than on, and that’s NOT OKAY. I don’t care which meat pocket he’s sliding into. I care about his dunks, his rebounds, and his laughable statement before the season where he said that the Cavaliers were still the best team in the…

I am certainly not the NBA fan out there who has no idea what is going on with Tristan Thompson and whichever Kardashian he is married(???) to. I don’t have enough spare axons to pay attention to celebrity relationships, since so many of them are devoted to holding precious info about NBA scrubs. Scrubs like…

Tristan Thompson’s sleep was disturbed when he heard the unexpected squeaking of his bedroom door’s hinges. “Oh damn, that probably woke him up,” came a whispered voice from the area of the door. “Yeah, it kinda did,” Tristan replied sleepily into the darkness, recognizing the voice as that of his teammate LeBron James. “If this…

The worst thing about this season, in my opinion, was that Matthew Dellavedova was not on the Cavaliers anymore to throw lobs to Tristan “Triscuits” Thompson. That was like the most consistent PG-to-big lob connection in the league since Andre Miller and JaVale McGee, and it got destroyed soon after it was formed. Dellavedova is…
