DownToBuck is a man who always searches for answers. Not just ANY answers. Answers that contain within them the very essence of truth. That is why, for the past week, I’ve been trying to answer the question: is Rakeem Christmas the same person as Dionte Christmas, or are they different people? I started simply enough…

Malcolm Brogdon 20 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
I’m so tired of Delly. I liked the signing at the time, and maybe it can still work, but it’s seeming more and more likely that the only offensive system he can thrive in is the “Have LeBron On Your Team” system. Why he keeps getting minutes over Malcolm Brogdon is baffling to me. I…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 14 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
It’s so nice of LeBron James to offer his career-resuscitation services to all these unwanted vets. Derrick Williams, Deron Williams, Andrew Bogut, Channing Frye, Richard Jefferson, Kyrie Irving, all these players were facing the ending of their NBA careers before LeBron and James Jones scooped them up and turned them into primo role-players. All Derrick…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes 15 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
If you’re a Sixers fan, you have to look at the silver lining of the injury cloud that obscures every aspect of your favored franchise. It’s there, believe me, it might be razor-thin, but that god-damn silver lining is there and you have to look at it, otherwise you end up staring into the black…
Read MoreZaza Pachulia 16 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
Not to turn this into my own personal blog (oh, who am I kidding), but based on the rancid -ass burps I’ve been ejecting into my highlights-cave, I think figured out the source of my gastric distress: that iced coffee I had from Starbucks. Note to self: coffee doesn’t even taste that good, so why…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 15 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
The crappy thing about the Celtics being this good is that they don’t get to properly develop (read: forcefeed minutes to regardless of actual ability) their young talent. Jaylen Brown is receiving decent minutes considering his production, but we will never know what kind of shenanigans he would’ve gotten up to if he was given…
Read MoreSeth Curry 29 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
Oof. DownToBuck isn’t feeling so hot right now. This description is gonna suck because I ate something funky and need to lie down for a bit. So… Seth Curry. I would make a joke about how he stole his brother’s powers, resulting in a 29-point game for him and an 0/11 three-point shooting performance for…
Read MoreDario Saric 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
From now on I’m going to pretend that Dario Saric is Ben Simmons. I’m not just going to acknowledge that Saric and Simmons have similarities in their respective games; I’m actually going to watch Sixers games as if Simmons is playing and not Saric. Don’t hate. This is my way of dealing with the pain…
