Utah Jazz – Page 32

Shelvin Mack Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2016)

We’ve already determined that the Utah Jazz have a bunch of players they can build around, commonly called a “core”. A core is what the Utah Jazz have. No doubt about it. As I said, it’s already been determined by experts. It is not all set in stone. Sometimes players must be added to cores….

Derrick Favors 28 Points/6 Blocks Full Highlights (3/5/2016)

The Utah Jazz: a core-having team? Let’s just get it out of the way now. YES. The Utah Jazz are a basketball team, and they have a core group of players to build around. Tibor Pleiss may or may not be part of that core. Forget about Tibor, though. He doesn’t matter right now. These…

Trey Lyles 18 Points Full Highlights (2/29/2016)

There was a brief stretch there, in the middle of January, where Trey Lyles was getting some decent minutes and actually putting up decent games with them. The rest of the year has been him getting decent minutes and doing very little with them, or, more recently, getting very few minutes and and doing very…

Gordon Hayward 27 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2016)

Thanks to a 27-point performance last night, Gordon “Gone Haywire” Hayward has added his name to the list of players this season averaging twenty points per game. That’s an important list to be on for two reasons: 1.) twenty is a nice round number that even really dumb people can comprehend and 2.) only good…

Derrick Favors 25 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2016)

When I was watching this game I was able to witness Derrick Favors being guarded by LaMarcus Aldridge and vice-versa. That got me thinking: is Derrick Favors not the second coming of LaMarcus Aldridge? Derrick takes a lot more of his shots close to the basket, but he has shown a jumper game that is,…

Shelvin Mack 16 Points/6 Assists Jazz Debut Full Highlights (2/21/2016)

With the addition of Shelvin “The Macksturbator” Mack, the dire point guard situation in Utah-land becomes slightly less dire. But not much. Let’s do a quick rundown: -Shelvin Mack: Unlikely to give you sixteen and six every game, but never underestimate the impact of reuniting with a former college teammate. Expect upwards of one Mack-Hayward…

Raul Neto 15 Points Full Highlights (2/19/2016)

Leandro Barbosa woke up to find himself lying on some sort of table, restrained by straps across his legs, arms, and chest. Trying not to panic, he observed his surroundings in the only way he could, by turning his head first to the left, then to the right, then straight ahead. He was in some…

Derrick Favors 29 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2016)

Lately DownToBuck has been trying to expand his emerging “Flavors of Favors” brand. Cookbooks must be a low-growth sector or something because I made all these Flavors of Favors cookbooks and guess what, they’re all sitting around in piles in my bedroom. The same marketing that has gotten me 28,000 subscribers apparently can’t even sell…

Rodney Hood 29 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2016)

How many times must I be subjected to some variation of the phrase “He’s only in his second year and he’s playing like a veteran” in reference to Rodney Hood? Since when is pump-faking and drawing a foul on a jump shot a “veteran move”? These Jazz commentators have such a hardon for this dude….

Rodney Hood 25 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2016)

Quick quiz: What were the actual events that went down during the ill-fated filming of the “Reppin’ the Hood” music video featuring DownToBuck and Rodney Hood? A. Rodney Hood smoked too much green and while waving around a shotgun (while riding shotgun with a ho on each arm) he accidentally killed a dude by shooting…
