Chris Johnson 16 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (11/9/2014)

I always assumed that Chris Johnson’s full first name was “Christopher”. That’s a fair assumption, right? Wrong. His name is actually spelled “Christapher”. From now on, I’m going to use his full name whenever I have to reference him (which is approximately once every never) so that I don’t cause confusion with either a.) the…

Jae Crowder 15 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2014)

Does anybody else have a strong, almost primal urge to cuddle with Jae Crowder’s dreads? Jae Crowder himself I don’t care about, but those things on his head…I would just love to wrap my face up in them. I bet they’re soft like a baby bunny. They probably smell nice too. If the Mavs ever…

Wesley Matthews 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/9/2014)

“No, that’s not right…” Wesley mumbled, staring at his reflection in the mirror. He unbuttoned the top two buttons of his vibrantly-plaid button-down shirt, exposing his dark chest hair. “That’s better.” Journeying to his closet, he picked out a pair of black jeans from his high-school days. His mom had admonished him when he had…

Terrence Ross 17 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2014)

Again, NBA TV hinders my ability to compile “full” highlights by failing to show thirty seconds of game action, game action where Terrence Ross makes a three-pointer. This is now the second highlight video that they have ruined. Yes, RUINED. What purpose does this video serve if its intended purpose, to show every made field…

Draymond Green 22 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/9/2014)

I used to rag on Draymond Green for being really, really bad at basketball. The shooting part at least. “Mr. 32%”. His only utility as a rookie was as a “put him in and let him create chaos” kind of guy. He’s still that kind of guy, which is great. As an added bonus, it…

Alexey Shved 14 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2014)

I’m sorry. So, so sorry. These aren’t full highlights. Not even close. A layup and subsequent free throw are missing, through no fault of my own. A forgivable offense, right? “Oh DownToBuck, it’s okay, NBATV missed almost a whole 30 seconds of action, not your fault!”. And that may be true. But despite the problems…

Gerald Green 19 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2014)

Let’s all take a moment to contemplate just how much of a maniac Gerald Green is when it comes to shooting. … Moment over! Hope you didn’t consider it too hard or you’re gonna find yourself with a bad headache pretty soon. Gerald Green has the utmost confidence in his jumper, somewhat justified but not…

Ben McLemore 16 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (11/9/2014)

It might be time for Ben McLemore to start showing a little bit more than what he’s shown so far in his career, or people are gonna start calling him the B-word. DownToBuck is loath to call anyone that hurtful and callous word, but nothing stands in his way when it comes to truthfulness. And…

Joe Ingles 10 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (11/9/2014)

Thanks to YouTube Analytics, I can see the country-by-country viewership breakdown of every video I make. Rarely am I surprised by its findings: Australians love Andrew Bogut. Mexicans love Gustavo Ayon. Germans love Dënniß ßchrööder. Bosnians love Mirza Teletovic. The Taiwanese love Amar’e Stoudemire. Okay, that last one is a little weird. But the others…

Nikola Vucevic 27 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2014)

I’m trying to figure out why Nikola Vucevic isn’t an upgrade for Dwight Howard. Nikola’s post moves, despite not being honed by Hakeem Olajuwon, are way smoother and more adaptable. His jumper is infinity times better, with his range extending out to maybe the three point line. Free throws? He can hit them at a…
