Who would have thought that I could make highlights from a game where the team in question scores just 64 points? For 64 points to happen, everybody has to suck. There can be no good performances in such a game because if there were good performances, the team would score more than 64. Jonathan Gibson…

Tyler Ulis 10 Points/4 Steals Full Highlights (11/18/2016)
Tyler Ulis is listed at 5’10”, the shortest in the league as far as I’m aware. That puts him roughly at the height of the average American male. However, it is common knowledge that NBA player heights are universally adjusted upwards unless you’re Kevin Durant and don’t want to be known as a seven-footer (insert…
Read MoreWilson Chandler 25 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)
If Wilson Chandler is feeling any lingering aftereffects from his injury (I think it was in the lower half of his body somewhere? But definitely not his butt), he’s definitely not showing it; his seventeen points per game are the highest in his career so far. And that’s while shooting well below his standards from…
Read MoreMyles Turner 22 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)
It’s hard for me not to get hyped when I see a big man make this many jumpers. Myles Turner doesn’t just make one or two jumpers per game; his whole offensive repertoire seems to consist of jumpshots in every conceivable form. Basketball-reference says he’s shooting 60% from the long midrange area, which, if true,…
Read MoreJ.J. Redick 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/18/2016)
The Kings managed to make their game against the Clippers into a contest after it was looking like a serious blowout early in the game. The reason? J.J. Redick was neutralized after his 22-point first half. Now, I don’t actually know who did the neutralizing. That would involve watching the game, which I don’t have…
Read MoreTy Lawson 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/18/2016)
Ty Lawson stumbled through the door of the liquor store. It was two in the morning, and he had already consumed the purchases he had made at the same store not five hours prior. Unsteady on his feet, he gripped the shelves to make sure that he stayed upright; falling down due to drunkenness was…
Read MoreNick Young 22 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)
Zach Lowe made some waves recently by stating that Nick Young is playing defense this year, which is apparently surprising because he apparently hasn’t played defense at any point in his career. I wouldn’t know. DownToBuck does not care about defense. Still, I’m going to challenge Zach on this. How on earth did he figure…
Read MoreAnthony Bennett 12 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)
I just want Anthony Bennett to succeed at this point. Success is relative for him; he will never live up to the expectations of being the first overall pick. Just seeing him stick on a team, providing useful minutes off the bench on a consistent basis would be enough. He showed some stuff in Minnesota…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 11 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/18/2016)
Ah yes, the fabled “career-high in career-highs”. An achievement only, uh, achieved, by the greatest players, or players playing in their first career game. Terry Rozier is one of those great players, having debuted in the NBA long before this. Full disclosure: this actually ties both his career-highs in assists and points, not setting either…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (11/18/2016)
How wild would it have been if that final shot by Emmanuel Mudiay had dropped? I don’t think the world could handle an and-one three-quarter-court shot to tie the game with 6 seconds left. Would Raptors fans hate Norman Powell as much as they hated John Salmons? That may not be possible, but it would…
