My phone rings, playing the generic “Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangster” ringtone that it defaults to when it doesn’t find the caller in my contact list. Busy with some clip editing, I let it ring for ten seconds before answering. “DownToBuck speaking. Make it quick.” “It’s Tyreke. You gonna make a video…

Dennis Schröder 11 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2015)
Dënniß ßchrööder might actually win a ring this year as the Hawks’ backup PG. Deutschlanders will greet this occurrence with a shouted “Ja Voll!”, but the rest of us normal non-Nazi NBA fans will also be happy to see the Shredder win a ring for reasons wholly unrelated to nationalism. The only people in the…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic 27 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2015)
I think Vucevic fans are at the point where they don’t even get excited if Vooch has a game where he scores in the mid-twenties. That’s standard operating protocol for this guy, similar to Rondo getting ten assists or DeAndre Jordan getting fourteen rebounds. It’s not even news. To be honest, I’m not even hyped…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 26 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2015)
I don’t really know why I made these highlights. I can see all the stats on my videos, I know the trends, I know what gets watched and what doesn’t. One thing that you guys have said loud and clear by your viewing habits: “We think Thaddeus Young sucks and due to his suckiness we…
Read MoreAlex Len 15 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2015)
Alex Len is from Ukraine, but you couldn’t tell if all you were given was a name. When I think Ukraine, I think unpronounceable messes of consonants. “Alex Len” just sounds like a plain old normal-person name. Nothing at all like Vyacheslav Kravtsov (who really should still be in the league, I loved that guy)….
Read MoreJared Sullinger 26 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2015)
The “Make Jared Sullinger shoot threes until he gets good at it” experiment orchestrated by the Celtics’ coaching staff is paying off: Sully is shooting over 30% from three this year! I don’t know what officially qualifies a player for the “stretch four” designation, but he’s got to be pretty close by now. I’ve compared…
Read MoreD.J. Augustin Career High 35 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2015)
DJ Augustin looked uneasily at the storefront of Mrs. Mysteria, Detroit’s finest psychic and purveyor of occult products. The grimy wooden facade stood as a stark contrast to the other stores in this particular strip mall. Maybe he should just go next door and pick up some Chinese food? Ignoring his misgivings, he walked in,…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 21 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2015)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Khris Middleton is pretty underrated. Now, underrated is a term that gets thrown around loosely nowadays. Everything and everyone is underrated. Stephen Curry? Underrated. How is that even possible? Even players who you think are definitely overrated (like Kobe Bryant) are underrated, somehow. With that said,…
Read MoreDamjan Rudež 18 Points/4 Threes/1 Dunk Full Highlights (1/25/2015)
Kevin Pritchard sat by himself, brainstorming ideas on a blank sheet of paper. The off-season was a time for relaxing, but it was also a time for getting ahead of your competition. Doodles for a new mascot, little catchphrases for the commentators to use, thoughts on improving the game-day experience, they were all represented on…
Read MoreO.J. Mayo 20 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2015)
Okay, I’m just going to go out and say it: Sidney Moncrief is the single worst commentator in basketball history. He stammers, he stutters, he gets players confused, he forgets players’ names, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard him make a “good call” at any point, ever. If the Bucks have a good play,…
