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…
Read MoreBen 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…
Read MoreJoe 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…
Read MoreNikola 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…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 22 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2014)
Bojan Bogdanovic, with his stomach making audible protestations, walked into the Bojangles’ Famous Chicken ‘n Biscuits store with anticipation. He approached the counter and looked up at the menu; soon, his eager expression was replaced with one of confusion. “Any questions?” asked the cheerful, yet clearly sub-intelligent cashier. Bojan did have some questions. For a…
Read MoreIman Shumpert 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
Very little is going right for the Knicks this season. They are 2-5, have the slowest pace in the league, and Carmelo’s new nickname is “Slumpelo”. Calderon and Bargnani are both injured and euro. Amar’e still sees fire extinguishers in his sleep. The only bright spot, as far as I can tell, is that Iman…
Read MoreJabari Parker 13 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
Like many rookies, Bustbari Porker has struggled out of the starting gate this season. To further the horse racing metaphor, he isn’t being whipped hard enough by his jockey, Jason Kidd. Parker’s scoring will come around, eventually. His last two games have seen him choose his spots better, and he’s been dunking everything he can…
Read MoreDanny Green 16 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
Danny “Greenger” Green had 13 points in the first quarter, then failed to score again until there were twelve seconds left in the game. If he wanted to call out his teammates and coach in the postgame interviews, I wouldn’t blame him at all. When a guy is on pace to score 50, you leave…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 18 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
In a famous tweet, Giannis summed up his first experience of smoothies thus: “I just taste for the first time a smothie..MAN GOD BLESS AMERICA????” What were his reactions to other firsts? Tacos: “I just taste for the first time a tako…MAN GOD BLESS MEXICO????” Bratwurst: “Wisconsin people like brat sousages, so I try…I think…
