Brook Lopez 29 Points/5 Assists/5 Blocks Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

Brook Lopez was only three steals away from a 5×5 in this game. However, we shouldn’t take it for granted that he got the requisite five rebounds necessary for a 5×5, considering he’s averaging just 5.4 RBG this season (by far a career-low save for the five games he played in 2011-12). Who’s stealing Brook…

Boris Diaw 19 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

I didn’t really expect Boris “The Big Croissant” Diaw to be capable of a revenge game, but the tubby Frenchman must have had some unspent reserves of revenge residing in his glands because he just had an honest-to-god revenge game against the team that traded him last off-season. He did it in his typical slow,…

Bobby Portis 21 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

Bobby Portis AKA Crazy Eyes Portis AKA Bobby Bitches has been the object of some consternation among Bulls fans. He never seems to perform well as a starter, the very times when his team needs him to step up, but he’s also inconsistent off the bench. It’s hard to blame all the Bulls’ problems on…

Patrick Beverley Career High 26 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

We just found out that James Harden is a product of his system. A “system babby” if you will. Pat Beverley was just one assist and two rebounds shy of a triple-double, but we have been conditioned to believe that Harden’s relentless stream of triple-doubles is something to be admired and adulated. Um, if Pat…

Tyler Ulis Career High 34 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

“Well, I just solidified my spot as the starting point guard going forward,” Tyler Ulis announced as he walked into the locker room after the game. He immediately approached Eric Bledsoe and shook his teammate’s hand. “It was nice being teammates with you, man, but you don’t really have any future with this team.” While…

Troy Williams 21 Points/6 Threes Rockets Debut Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

This game by Troy Williams is right up there for the “Most Unexpected Performance” award, an award which should for real be a real award that the NBA really awards. Not convinced? Here, let me spell it out for you. For one, this is Williams’ career-high. That by itself isn’t too crazy, but it’s also…

Thon Maker 11 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

Wasn’t that a nice little stretch for Thon Maker? 11 points in around 3 minutes of game time, spanning the second and third quarters, including a Dirk-like move on the master himself. Of course, since the vid title says “11 Points” right there, you know he didn’t do anything else the whole game (except get…

Troy Daniels 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

I recently saw some stat that said Troy Daniels has the longest average made field goal distance in the league, at like 22 or 23 feet. If you were the one who found out that stat and are mad that you aren’t getting the credit you deserve (I know that feeling, people reupload my vids…

Jonathon Simmons 17 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

Every time I see Jonathon Simmons on the court it reminds of how we were all robbed of a whole year of exciting action from Ben Simmons. I can’t help it. Seeing the name “Simmons” on the back of a jersey, it doesn’t even matter what color, I get all riled up. Making this vid…

C.J. Miles 27 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

For those who say that DownToBuck is a man utterly beholden to view counts, to subscriber totals and likes, behold: a C.J. Miles video that will get, at most, 15 views, as well as cost me dozens of subscribers. No one cares about C.J. Miles unless you’re talking about the Instagram model, which I’m definitely…
