If you’re only going to watch one DTB video this season, make sure that it’s this one. I don’t want to toot my own horn too much (I hire other people to do the tooting), but it’s pretty much a perfect video. Nothing wrong with it at all. An incredible showcase of superior craftsmanship. The…

Nene 22 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2014)
Hello friends! I don’t have anything insightful to say about Nene, but you guys should do yourselves a favor and type “nene chicks” into google image search. No, you’re not going to get pictures of Nene doing indecent things with women. I would never lead you astray. What you will get is your daily dose…
Read MoreChris Copeland 21 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/1/2014)
Maybe it’s just me, but does Chris Copeland not totally look like an Egyptian pharaoh? That hair is like some kind of elaborate headpiece, and he’s always dressed In Pacers’ gold, which sort of resembles one of those gold coffin thingies that the Egyptians put their mummies in. I actually traveled to Egypt to find…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 12 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2014)
Allow me to register my dissatisfaction with the Chicago “Splash Brothers” equivalent, the “Drain Duo”. Who are the two players that are contained under the umbrella of this nickname? Surely they must be established and high-performing shooters to have the gumption to craft themselves this moniker. Nope. Just Nikola Mirotic and Doug McDermott. And this…
Read MoreOtto Porter Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2014)
“Why do scrubs always go off on us?” comes the frantic yell of the collective fanbase any time a role-player scores more than twenty points. Their angst is understandable, but ultimately misguided; lots of role-players have good games every night, and they have to come against some other team. Teams that get burned repeatedly by…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 8 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/1/2014)
JaVale McGee, clad scantily in a leopard-print speedo, relaxed in his outdoor hot tub. The contrast between the cool mountain air on his chest and the warm bubble-jets on his legs was sublime, much like the pairing of a medium-bodied Tuscan Chianti and rich dark chocolates from Paris which floated on a tray in front…
Read MoreTerrence Jones 25 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2014)
Terrence Jones PER of 25.9 is pretty damn good. Yes, I understand it’s only been three games, but he has looked like a legit beast out there. If Houston does in fact possess a “big three” (every team does, you just have to adjust your definition of “big”), that three would be Harden, Howard, and…
Read MoreGordon Hayward 24 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2014)
Gordon Hayward sauntered up to his new teammates, Dante Exum and Joe Ingles. “I couldn’t help but overhear your guys’ conversation.” Both of the Australians perked up. “So you got the new Assassins Creed too, mate?” Dante asked. “The gameplay is just on another level.” Gordon laughed. “Well, actually, no. Those action-adventure games are for…
Read MoreAnthony Bennett 12 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2014)
Most likely, I’m doing the internet a disservice by posting these highlights. In this collection of individual pictures, appearing in front of your eyes so quickly that they provide the illusion of movement, Anthony Bennett converts five times on what is the worst shot in basketball – the long two. I feel that making these…
Read MoreDerrick Favors Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2014)
Who knew creating and marketing a line of cookbooks was so hard? Let it be known DownToBuck is a savvy businessperson. He can sense a good business opportunity and is quick to seize it, like a cobra uncoiling to strike its unwitting victim. So it only makes sense that I would copyright the term “Flavors…
