Kelly Olynyk walked down the main street of Kamloops, distracted. D’Ambrosios pizza parlor called to him, but he did not heed. Too many memories. Although, now that he thought about it, it seemed that his hometown of Kamloops consisted entirely of memories he did not want to remember. He had made a mistake coming here…

Sean Kilpatrick 13 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2015)
I really had no idea what to expect out of Sean Kilpatrick when he started his 10-day with the Wolves. None. I’d heard the name, and that was it. No preconceived notions for this guy, he had a chance to win me over by the quality of his play alone. Turns out, he kinda sucks….
Read MoreC.J. Watson 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/23/2015)
Sometimes box scores are false advertising. Take this performance from C.J. Watson. On the surface, 23 and 5 is really good for him. But, upon closer inspection, nine of his points came in the last four minutes of the game, after the Rockets had built an insurmountable advantage. That’s three baskets that were in garbage…

Read MoreZach LaVine 27 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/23/2015)
An avid DownToBuck highlight watcher will notice that recently, almost without exception, that I use the audio commentary of the team the highlighted player is on. In general, being the homers that they are paid to be, those commentators get more excited for plays performed by the player than the opposing team’s commentators. Nothing worse…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 22 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2015)
You ain’t gotta do nothin’, Uncle Flip. You know, ain’t like I’m still eighteen years old, you know? Ain’t like I’m gonna be sitting up every night asking my mom “when’s LeBron coming home”, you know? Who needs him? Hey, he wasn’t there to teach me how to shoot my first basket, but I learned…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 28 Points/1 Poster Dunk Full Highlights (3/23/2015)
Damn, Nikola Mirotic has really been killing it lately. I take back what I said about Wiggins being a lock for Rookie of the Year. Given the basketball media’s massive recency bias, I’d say that if Threekola can keep this up, he has a great chance to win it. Not that it matters, really. Who…
