Question to the people of France: if you don’t care about Rudy Gobert or Evan Fournier or Nic Batum or Kevin Seraphin anymore, who DO you care about? The French aren’t the most nationalistic people in mainland Europe (not even close), but you guys definitely have some nationalistic fervor building up in your loins and…

Rudy Gobert 16 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (3/5/2017)
It looked like a goaltend to me. For real. Speaking as a totally neutral, objective observer. At least close enough to be un-overturn-able. I think the refs made the wrong decision reversing the original call. Straight up. I am not mad about it. I am just stating what I think. Here’s another thing that I…
Read MoreRodney Hood 28 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2017)
I know it’s fairly early in Rodney Hood’s career, but I’m ready to issue the most feared declaration possible against an NBA player: at this point, he is what he is. Gasp. Granted, he’s had a bunch of injuries which have hampered what was looking, at the very beginning, to be a great season for…
Read MoreGeorge Hill 34 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/3/2017)
DownToBuck life pro-tip: drink water instead of soda because when you dribble it all over yourself it actually makes your clothes cleaner instead of dirtier! This life pro-tip was brought to you by DownToBuck. DownToBuck Jazz pro-tip: don’t pay George Hill too much money because he’s kinda getting up there in years. Hill is a…
Read MoreDante Exum 15 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)
One thing that sticks with me about Dante Exum is the fact that he was in a bunch of sorta-funny but also sorta-lame Foot Locker commercials after he was drafted but before he played in the NBA. I feel like usually spots in Foot Locker commercials are reserved for good or at least proven NBA…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 18 Points Full Highlights (2/15/2017)
Jinglin’ Joe Ingles AKA “Slow Joe” AKA “Sloppy Joe” AKA “The Big Didgeridoo” had four assists and four steals to go with his eighteen points, but I didn’t feel like showing them. First, four assists is simply not enough. Second, I never show steals on purpose unless it’s Marcus Smart getting eight of them so…
Read MoreJoe Johnson 27 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2017)
I don’t remember Joe Johnson looking this slow when he scored 29 the first game of the season. Did he use up all his energy on that one? He hasn’t scored 20 since then, until tonight. I don’t think I’ve seen this many buckets scored by just slowly dribbling around and shooting since I last…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 20 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2017)
This is Derrick Favor’s best scoring game of the season. That injury must have really screwed him up, because he averaged 16 the last two years, and now double figures is a good game for him. Combine his general ineffectiveness with the Jazz’s surprisingly good record, and Favors has become the forgotten man in Utah….
Read MoreDante Exum 11 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2017)
I’m not even going to say what everybody is thinking with regards to Dante Exum. Not even going to say it. There would be no point; every side of the argument is entrenched in their positions. Jazz fans would be like “nuh uh he’s still recovering from injury” and rational NBA observers would be like…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 26 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (2/1/2017)
Rudy Gobert, clad in an all-black skinsuit, had to restrain a chuckle as he easily entered the night-darkened home of Adam Silver. The commissioner had clearly not been expecting home intrusions when he had left the windows of his living room swung open. Now, thanks to his lax security, Adam would pay the ultimate price….
